Welcome back to Summer Movie Mondays at GrabAGun! This final Movie Monday, we’re making it our mission to cover a few of the most notable firearms in an entire movie series. It’s a collection of movies that focus on skilled espionage, tense shootouts, and impossible stunts done by Ethan Hunt and his fellow IMF agents. Today, we’re looking at the firearms of the Mission Impossible Movies.

There have been a lot of firearms that have been on the screen during these action-packed movies. So while we could take the time to look at all of them, we’re going to try to take a look at a few models that we haven’t discussed in previous Movie Mondays. Thankfully, there are a lot to choose from. With 7 movies out and an 8th on the way, Tom Cruise’s character (Ethan Hunt), along with the other agents and villains throughout the films, have handled lots of firearms. With that, let’s take a look at a few of them:

The Sig Sauer P228 / M11

Though it’s no longer in production, the Sig Sauer P228 can be seen in the hands of Ethan Hunt and other IMF agents in the first Mission: Impossible movie in 1996. It was a versatility 9mm compact pistol that was used by US armed forces as the Sig Sauer M11. Though we don’t have the P228 available at GrabAGun, we do have the Sig Sauer P229 M11, which was an upgraded version of the Sig P228 introduced in the early 90s. It provides a similar look and feel while having the added benefit of handling higher-power rounds.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact

Though it’s not the main firearm in Mission Impossible II (that would be the ever-popular Beretta 92), the HK USP Compact pistol is seen towards the end of the movie. In a very dramatic slow-mo fight sequence between Hunt and Sean Ambrose. It is another 9mm compact pistol that delivers great performance in range and self-defense applications.

Sig Sauer P226

The 4th installment in the movie franchise, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, features several variations of the Sig Sauer P266. They’re wielded by Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), William Brandt (Jeremy Renner), and Agent Carter (Paula Patton) throughout the film while they fight to prevent nuclear war. This Sig P226 Mk25 version features a larger, weighty build that helps reduce recoil and increase accuracy.

This IWI Jericho 941 pistol is a full-sized pistol with a heavy build and high capacity.
