Beretta 92G Elite 1A
The Beretta 92G Elite 1A is the sidearm of Ethan Hunt during the mission to rescue Agent Ferris (Keri Russell). He passes it to Ferris during their escape and it is fitted with a tactical flashlight. Ethan also appears to carry one when he and the IMF convoy are ambushed on the Bay Bridge by operatives of Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

Glock 17
The Glock 17 is used by several characters in the film. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) notably uses the Glock during the chase in Shanghai, where he hangs low to the ground from a car's backseat to shoot out a pursuing car's tires, causing a wreck and terminating the chase. Zhen (Maggie Q) also uses one during the bridge ambush.

Glock 26 (Modified)
Ethan also uses a Glock 26 pistol modified to fire tranquilizer darts. He first uses it to subdue Davian in the Vatican bathroom and then is seen using it during his infiltration of the military-controlled skyscraper to subdue the roof guards. He quickly loses the gun in order to prevent himself from falling to his death. The actual prop is made of rubber and molded from a modified Glock pistol.
