Joe Friday's carry gun is the Smith & Wesson Model 36 Chief's Special. In episode 21, "The Shooting Board", Sgt Friday shoots and kills a laundromat burglar who fires first on Friday. In one scene Sgt Friday is asked for his gun so SID, Scientific Investigation Division, can do ballistics tests on it. We see a profile of the gun in Friday's hand with Friday saying something like, "Hear is my Smith & Wesson revolver,". From that episode and scene, I conclude his carry piece must be a model 36. In the brief shot where we see Friday's gun in profile, it has the distinct thin grip of the Smith & Wesson. This distinguishes it from the Colt Detective Special so many claim Friday carried. To my knowledge his gun is never completely identified in the series.
- In the picture below, however, it looks like there are six shots in the cylinder. That would make it a Smith & Wesson Model 10 snub. --Funkychinaman 15:35, 10 December 2011 (CST)
In the 1960's Dragnet, Joe Friday does carry a Smith & Wesson model 10, as he did in the 1950's movie. In the 1950's version of the Dragnet TV show, he carried a Colt Detective Special.

Excellent finding a stock photo of the Colt Officers Model Special, but it is a separate model. The specific model shown is the Officers Model Match. Picky, Picky. --Sg688 19:01, 27 March 2012 (CDT)
The Big Explosion
The episode "The Big Explosion" has several firearms. At least four Garands, a SMLE, and a Thompson submachine gun. --Surv1v4l1st 12:54, 19 April 2012 (CDT)
Luger
I don't have a screenshot yet, but the episode "Homicide-Who Killed Who?" had a Luger P08 used by the suspect.--Surv1v4l1st (talk) 02:09, 19 August 2014 (EDT)
"The Kidnapping"
In the episode "The Kidnapping", the perp is armed with some kind of revolver. It appears to be of top-break design. Anyone positively confirm this one?
