	*In the introduction cutscene of GTA San Andreas, where all three members of [[C.R.A.S.H.]] arrest [[Carl Johnson]]; [[Jimmy Hernandez]] and [[Eddie Pulaski]] are holding Glock 17s, instead of Colt M1911s like the ones in gameplay. Given the fact that the in-game pistol's magazine capacity (17 rounds) is incorrect for a Colt M1911 but correct for a Glock 17, and the fact that the Glock really is a 9mm pistol, it may be that the developers originally intended the player to use the model seen in the cutscenes, but this feature was left out for some reason. The Glock-17 can be used in-game by switching and swapping the pistol's model/texture with the Glock's one.		*In the introduction cutscene of GTA San Andreas, where all three members of [[C.R.A.S.H.]] arrest [[Carl Johnson]]; [[Jimmy Hernandez]] and [[Eddie Pulaski]] are holding Glock 17s, instead of Colt M1911s like the ones in gameplay.
