Chrome Hammer
What is it supposed to be based off of? My best guess is some sort of a modified Desert Eagle but it looks much more different. And the magazine size is way off.


 * It's actually based off a competition 1911. You can see the grip safety on the back strap of the pistol. It also seems to incorporate some of the features of the Sig Sauer P226, like the trigger guard and the trigger. --Bobzmoose 22:16, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Silent Hill 2 and 3 Handgun Identifies
The handgun in Silent Hill 2 isn't a M92. It looks like a Beretta Cougar in .45 ACP. If you look at the ammo boxes in the game's manual, they say "45 Auto" (use a magnifying glass, it's really difficult to see).

I always thought the handgun in Silent Hill 3 was a Beretta M84 in .380 Auto. It's about the right size and the M84 was manufactured with nickel plating and available with wooden grips (while any model available in the M92 line at the time only had nickle plating or wood grips) at the time the game was made. The handgun in the game also appears to have a shorter barrel than the standard M92. --Bobzmoose 22:18, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Both wrong, the pistol in 2 and 3 are modeled after the Beretta 92FS Centurion, the Cougar, here's some pictures.

And the 92FS Centurion

Also, the pistol in Homecoming is NOT a beretta model, it's a Taurus PT92, a licensed Brazilian copy of the M92, the biggest giveaway is the frame mounted safety of the PT92 while the Beretta M92 has a slide mounted safety.

With this, i'm going to change the article to be somewhat more accurate.Kornflakes89 02:04, July 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * I read and viewed the above images, and I am not a handgun expert - just a gamer. To me, the SH2 handgun looks like a spot on M1911. The fore-sights of most berreta's, and the ridge in the barrel are very distinctive. Compare this pic vs this one. Not that it's unavailable through custom mods, but berettas are not usually made with wooden stocks.
 * This page is another excellent comparison tool. It has both weapons.

 * Nope. I'm wrong. It has elements of both. Never seen a beretta with sights and a safety switch like that. I don't know what that is, but I'll undo it, just to be safe. I've seen some smith and wesson guns that fooled me before too, and they were smaller caliber. Might be worth checking that out on imfdb

 * The Beretta 92 pistols differ from the others because they have the top of the slide open (the barrel is visible), besides sticking out a little bit ahead. The handguns used by Heather and James are of this model, specifically the Centurion version. --Esqueletoconpelos (talk) 17:16, October 19, 2017 (UTC)

Silent Hill 1 handgun
If Silent Hill 1 takes place during the 1980's the handgun used can't be the S&W Sigma. That model didn't hit the market until 1994.

Which is irrelevant as, if i remember correctly, none of the games state what year they take place in.Kornflakes89 03:37, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Well the first Silent Hill does take place in the 80s. Heather is 17 in SH3, which is set in 2000. Thus, she was "born" in 1983. The handgun really doesn't look like a Beretta 92, kinda more like a Whelter P99, even though I know that can't happen. user:Mr Bio Shock  http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/bioshock/images/thumb/a/a1/Physical_Tonic.png/15px-Physical_Tonic.png 22:58, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

Heather's gun is a Beretta 92, specifically a Centurion. A user above explained it. --Esqueletoconpelos (talk) 16:55, October 19, 2017 (UTC)

Does the redeemer count as a revolver?
It hold 6 round and it looks like one

It could be moved to the Revolver Page
