The second 92F (I think) is still available for viewing at the National Firearms Museum, in Fairfax, VA. Unless the exhibit has changed, it's showing as being there when I checked their site this morning. I was actually thinking of visiting the museum soon, and will have to look. That movie helped sell quite a few Berettas.

Indeed. It's absolutely the reason that the first gun I ever bought was a 92FS. I still have it. And it's a fantastic gun...I've bought far worse for objectively better reasons in the years since.

The second Bruce Willis/Mel Gibson 92F is still in the National Firearms Museum; cruised by that exhibit this morning and whipped out the cellphone camera thing. And also one used by Meg Ryan in "Courage Under Fire", one used by Jack Lemmon (I think; may have read the card wrong). Beretta 92Fs were well represented. Several of different models used by Tom Selleck, John Wayne also there, etc....It was an enjoyable morning.
