Mannix is a detective TV show created by Richard Levinson and William Link, and produced by Bruce Geller (who also created the espionage series Mission: Impossible). It ran from 1967 to 1975 on the channel CBS alongside M:I.
Mannix followed the life of Los Angeles private investigator Joseph "Joe" Mannix, played by Mike Connors, and his African-American secretary, Peggy Fair (played by Gail Fisher). Mannix is of Armenian descent (like Connors himself), and is proficient in most athletics, including being a black belt in Karate, a decent skier, and an excellent pool player. He is also a veteran of the Korean War. In Season 1, he works for detective firm Intertect. Starting in Season 2, he lives and works in his own office at 17 Paseo Verde, West LA. He carries a Walther PP in Season 1, which can be seen in the intro, but starts to carry a Colt Detective Special from Season 2 onwards.
The show won the "Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama" in 1971, which was late Season 4 and early Season 5. Mike Connors himself also won an award for his portrayal of Mannix, the 1969 Golden Globe Awards (for which he was nominated six consecutive times) and 4 straight Emmy nominations from 1970 to 1973. Mannix, the series itself, was twice nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Dramatic Series. In 1972, writer Mann Rubin won an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for the episode "A Step in Time" (S5E03).
The following weapons were used in Season 5 of the television series Mannix:
Pistols
Walther PPK
The Walther PPK is a common gun used by criminals no matter where Mannix goes.
Beretta M1934
In a continuity error, ?'s dropped PPK turns into a Beretta M1934 when Mannix picks it up.
Revolvers
Colt Detective Special
Mannix's standard sidearm is a Colt Detective Special. He uses it in most episodes, and has it taken away from him and used by Niles in "Cold Trail" (S5E02). It is a common gun for "goons" to carry and use.
S&W Safety Hammerless
Leslie Fielding is given a nickel Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless as a gift by her husband Glen, and it is used to shoot musician Lloyd Gantry in "Dark So Early, Dark So Long" (S5E01). It is also handled by the police ballistics expert later in the episode.
S&W Model 10
The local sheriff in "Cold Trail" (S5E02) has a revolver in his holster, most likely a Model 10. A US Government agent also carries a Model 10, as was standard-issue to the FBI during the time.
Colt Official Police
During the events of "Cold Trail" (S5E02), Niles (George Voskovec) pulls out a Colt Official Police. He only gets to fire it once. In "A Step in Time" (S5E03), a police officer draws one when inspecting the intruder's body.
Shotguns
Unknown Shotgun
Sheriff <insertnamehere> uses an unknown shotgun to quiet down some workers. The scene is too dark to confirm any certain ID but it may possibly be a Winchester Model 1912.
Rifles
Sporterized K98
One of the goons during the car chase in "Cold Trail" uses a custom sporterized K98k with double triggers, a custom stock, a custom barrel, and a butterknife bolt. He fires it at Mannix's car repeatedly.
Explosives
Dynamite
The Jailhouse Assailant uses what is referred to as several sticks of "dynamite" to try and kill Jose Escobar in the jail.
Various Gun Racks
Different gun racks can be seen throughout the series, often full with rifles and shotguns.
Police Wall of Guns
Wall of guns seen in the ballistics lab. Some guns such as the Mauser 1934 and the Colt M1911A1 can be seen.
