==SIG-Sauer P220==
'''''Miami Vice''''' is the iconic 80's television crime drama that starred [[Don Johnson]] and [[Philip Michael Thomas]] as detectives in the Miami-Dade Police Department who work undercover to root out the criminal elements working throughout the city. The series broke new ground in television for its visual style as well as its innovative use of popular music in each episode and was well known for the casting of several future stars including [[Bruce Willis]], [[Julia Roberts]], [[Vincent D'Onofrio]], [[Liam Neeson]], and [[Wesley Snipes]]. ''Miami Vice'' also featured the debut of many firearms that are now commonplace in the films and television today, such as the [[Beretta 92FS]] and the [[Glock 17]]. The executive producer of the series mostly credited with its look was [[Michael Mann]], who went on to direct the [[Miami Vice (2006)|the 2006 feature film adaptation]] that starred [[Colin Farrell]] and [[Jamie Foxx]].
[[Don Johnson]] uses a [[SIG-Sauer P220]] in the pilot episode of the show. Considering that the pilot episode was filmed in the spring of 1984 the model used would most likely have been the European model with the heel-clip magazine release.

==  Dornaus & Dixon Bren Ten ==
'''The following lists the seasons of the series ''Miami Vice'':'''


Sonny Crockett ([[Don Johnson]]) uses a [[Bren Ten]] in the first and second seasons of the show. It was essentially a beefed-up CZ 75 chambered for the original 10mm Norma Auto cartridge which differs slightly in case length from later 10mm rounds.  This round was HOT, and consequently damaged the guns. In the '80s this was a new cartridge, but is rarely used in modern day. The company of Dornaus& Dixon was an ill-fated one, and since the producers of the Miami Vice-series would not use discontinued guns, it was replaced with the S&W 645 auto pistol

:''I remember reading somewhere, I believe it was in Soldier of Fortune, that, towards the end, the manufacturer proved so unreliable that weapons were being shipped without mags.  Additionally there was a tale that, in one episode Johnson does a combat reload leaving the mag on the ground allegedly viewers returned to the scene of the episode to look for it due to its rarity.  [[User:Charon68|Charon68]]''
