The P229, wrongly labelled as a P228 in 24: The Ultimate Guide

• During Season 1 and Season 2, Jack is actually using a P229 in some scenes. The P229 is visually identical to the P228 with the exception of the grip serrations on the side of the slide, which only extend halfway up the slide on the P229 and the trigger cover is slightly different. The P229 is available in 9mm Para (Luger), .40 S&W and .357 SIG calibres.
