I love that scene.
And it was the extra guy he was concerned about, everything else was accounted for.

remember, he had to know the weight to the Kg of the total passenger and cargo, and given the Woo like driving scenes, i can understand why.

QUOTE (Raygun)
So I finally saw National Security on cable recently (thanks for making me sit through that one!). The gun in question is definitely a Glock with a stainless slide (Caspian makes them; Will Smith had a couple in Bad Boys 2). But there's something odd about it: it didn't have the Glock 18 selector switch on the left side of the slide, nor did it have the FSSG selector protruding out of the rear of the slide. So either it was a model, or a gun modified to fire full-auto only.

Now that that's out of the way, I've got one for all of you. I was watching The Transporter last night, and there's a scene where he's doing a get-away gig for a bunch of bank robbers (or something), but when they jump in the car he hesitates, telling the lead robber guy that what they want him to transport wasn't part of the deal. The lead robber guy sticks a pistol in his face, and I'm kind of stumped as to what pistol it is. It looked an awful lot like a SIG-Sauer P220, but it had a thumb safety (ambidextrous IIRC), which the P220 does not have. I've looked around for copies of the P220, (Astra, Zastava, etc...) but have yet to find out exactly what kind of pistol it is. The only thing I can think of that looks close is the Daewoo DP51, but I don't think that's it.

Any other ideas? Might be a good idea to keep in mind that the movie was filmed in France. I think I might rent it (never have seen it all the way through anyway) and get some image caps of the gun.

Been a long time since I've seen it, and if things go well, it'll get nothing but longer though I'll admit it was one of the best feel good comedies I'd seen in a while. Anyway, at the time, I remember immediately thinking it was a Jericho 941. I'm not sure I stand by that now, and I don't have any screen caps to look at, but worth throwing out there.

Definitely not a Jericho. One hundred percent certain of that.

Well, I rented it. Got some screen caps but because FTP is still down, I can't upload them to my site so you guys can see them.

Anyway, I figured it out. There's a shot where you can clearly see "MOD. P.C.9" stamped into the gun's dust cover. Turns out to be a pretty obscure pistol (at least around here) made in Italy by Pardini for IPSC competition. Up until this point a company I'd never heard of. Here's another pic at securityarms.com. Now that I get a look at it without someone's hand wrapped around it, it doesn't look much like a P220, except kind of in the trigger guard area.
