In the Season Two episode, "Mr. Monk and the Three Pies," Monk's brother Ambrose ([[John Turturro]]) overhears his neighbor, Pat van Ranken ([[Holt McCallany]]) murder his wife, Rita, by shooting her with a 9mm Lane & Westen.


Monk's own police-issue sidearm, as seen in the Season Six episode "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part I" and the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk's Other Brother," is also a Beretta 92FS described as a Lane & Westen. Corrupt Sheriff Rollins ([[Scott Glenn]]) frames Monk for murder by shooting a criminal with another Lane & Westen, after replacing the barrel with the barrel from Monk's own gun, then switching them back.
In the Season Two episode, "Mr. Monk and the Three Pies," (S02E11) Monk's brother Ambrose ([[John Turturro]]) overhears his neighbor, Pat van Ranken ([[Holt McCallany]]) murder his wife, Rita, by shooting her with a 9mm "Lane & Westen."  Ambrose claims to be able to recognize the gun just by the shot it fired; Adrian is skeptical at first, stating that Lane & Westen doesn't make a 9mm pistol, but Ambrose counters that they did until 1992.  A pistol manufacturer that does not offer a 9mm caliber-weapon is virtually unheard of.
 
Monk's own police-issue sidearm, as seen in the Season Six episode "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part I" (S06E15) and the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk's Other Brother," (S07E10) is also a Beretta 92FS described as a Lane & Westen.

Nice, but where's the trigger?

This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it.

The following weapons were seen in the television series Monk:

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Monk (2002-2009)

Pistols

Beretta Model 21 Bobcat

A Beretta 21 Bobcat is used by coin dealer Jacob Posner (J.P. Manoux) in "Mr. Monk Is Up All Night" (S06E09).

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Beretta 21 Bobcat .25 ACP with an unfired round.

Beretta 92FS

Several characters carry a Beretta 92FS or a variant as their sidearm including police consultant Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub).

In the pilot episode, "Mr. Monk and the Candidate," (S01E02) Monk grazes a suspect with a blind shot in the dark using a Beretta 92FS, borrowed from Disher.

In the Season Two episode, "Mr. Monk and the Very Very Old Man," (S02E05) Lt. Randy Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford), in trying to distract Captain Stottlemeyer's wife Karen, shows off his sidearm, correctly described as a "Beretta 9mm Centurion."

In the Season Two episode "Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife," (S02E14) bank robber Evan Coker (Daniel Goddard) uses a hunting rifle to stop a tow truck repossessing his car, which still has his handgun, a 9mm Beretta, in the glovebox.

In the Season Three episodes "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" (S03E09), "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever," (S03E12) Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) carries a Beretta 92FS instead of his usual Smith & Wesson 3913. In "Cabin Fever," both he and Disher use Berettas when they are attacked by Chinese hit men.

In the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk Takes A Punch," (S07E04), Captain Stottlemeyer appears to be using a Beretta 92FS Inox.

In the series finale "Mr. Monk and the End, Part II" (S08E16), Monk also holds a Beretta on "the Judge."

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm.

"Lane & Westen" (Fictional name for Beretta)

Possibly because of legal objections after the episode "Mr. Monk and the Old Man," subsequent Beretta pistols which appeared in the series were given the fictional name "Lane & Westen."

In the Season Two episode, "Mr. Monk and the Three Pies," (S02E11) Monk's brother Ambrose (John Turturro) overhears his neighbor, Pat van Ranken (Holt McCallany) murder his wife, Rita, by shooting her with a 9mm "Lane & Westen." Ambrose claims to be able to recognize the gun just by the shot it fired; Adrian is skeptical at first, stating that Lane & Westen doesn't make a 9mm pistol, but Ambrose counters that they did until 1992. A pistol manufacturer that does not offer a 9mm caliber-weapon is virtually unheard of.

Monk's own police-issue sidearm, as seen in the Season Six episode "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part I" (S06E15) and the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk's Other Brother," (S07E10) is also a Beretta 92FS described as a Lane & Westen. Corrupt Sheriff Rollins (Scott Glenn) frames Monk for murder by shooting a criminal with another Lane & Westen, after replacing the barrel with the barrel from Monk's own gun, then switching them back.

Colt M1911

An unknown stainless M1911 model (possibly with wooden grips) is seen in the hands of the leader of the same gang in "Mr. Monk and the Magician" used to threaten The Great Torini (Steve Valentine) in the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk and the Magician" (S07E15).

Glock 17

In the Season Three episode "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine," (S03E09) armed robber Lester Highsmith (Ken Marino) tries to kill Captain Stottlemeyer with a Glock 17.

In the Season Three episode, "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever," (S03E12) FBI Special Agent Grooms (Josh Stamberg) shoots a Chinese assassin with a Glock pistol (exact model unknown).

In the Season Four episode "Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa" (S04E09) criminal Frank Prager (Gill Gayle) fires five rounds at Captain Stottlemeyer with a Glock 17.

Lt. Randy Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford) uses a Glock for several of the later-season episodes, including "Mr. Monk Takes A Punch" (S07E04) and "Mr. Monk and the End, Part I" (S08E15).

Ruger Super Redhawk

In the episode "Mr. Monk Goes to the Circus", a mysterious ninja-like figure kills a ringmaster with a single shot from a revolver described as a "Ruger Casull" in .454 caliber. This is likely the Ruger Super Redhawk revolver, which comes in a model that chambers the .454 Casull cartridge.

SIG-Sauer P226

In the Season Six episode "Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees" (S06E05), sports agent Rob Sherman (Vincent Ventresca) shoots a burglar with his own 9mm pistol, and, when his wife comes running down to investigate, shoots her dead with an unknown .38-caliber revolver, which he then places in the burglar's hand, to frame him for the murder. When reconstructing the scenario for Monk, Disher describes the pistol as a Glock, but during the scene, Sherman is actually holding a SIG-Sauer P226.

In the Season Eight episode "Mr. Monk is the Best Man" (S08E13), criminal Stephanie Briggs (Teri Polo) holds Stottlemeyer and Monk at gunpoint after recovering a pistol that she stuffed in a garment bag. When Stottlemeyer tells his girlfriend not to worry because the gun is not loaded, Stephanie responds by firing a round into the air - at which point the slide locks back, and Stottlemeyer informs Stephanie that the clip fell out into the garment bag, and she just spent the one round left in the chamber.

Smith & Wesson Model 10

In the Season Five premiere, "Mr. Monk and the Actor" (S05E01), Jack Leverett (Greg Grunberg, of Heroes fame) uses a bright, nickel-platedn snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a square butt and pearl grips, to shoot a pawn shop owner. It is referenced by Lt. Disher as a "Smith & Wesson 38 with a pearl handle".

Smith & Wesson Model 36

In the Season Six episode "Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa Claus" (S06E10), Monk picks up a pearl-handled Smith & Wesson Model 36 dropped by a suspect and uses it to shoot the criminal dressed as Santa Claus.

Smith & Wesson 3913

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) carries what looks like a Smith & Wesson 3913 as his primary weapon (comically, in "Mr. Monk and the Old Man" (S02E05), he has to hide it whenever his wife comes around, since she is a pacifist and believes that he doesn't go armed). The size and dimensions of the pistol, as well as the diameter of the barrel, indicate the model.

In the episode "Mr. Monk Can't See A Thing" (S05E04) Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) grabs Stottlemeyer's gun and uses it to shoot an advancing criminal.

Smith & Wesson 6906

Smith & Wesson 6906 - 9mm

Walther P38 (Water Pistol)

In the episode "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" (S03E09) Monk uses a water pistol modeled on a Walther P38 to bluff a criminal, only, to his embarrassment, to let the barrel drip, revealing its true nature.

In the episode "Mr. Monk is Underwater" (S07E05) Monk borrows a sidearm from Navy Lieutenant Albright (Casper Van Dien) to test whether a plastic bottle found at a murder scene could be taped around the barrel and used as a silencer. The gun Albright hands to Monk is a Walther P38, despite the fact that the Beretta 92FS was the sidearm issued to the U.S. Navy. The Walther was probably used because its long, thin barrel makes it easy for Monk to make the experiment.

Walther P38.

Walther PPK

In the Season One episode "Mr. Monk Takes A Vacation" (S01E10) hotel security chief and cop wannabe Rita Bronwyn (Polly Draper) carries a stainless Walther PPK.

In the Season Four episode "Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty" (S04E16) the girlfriend of a drug dealer hides what looks like a Walther PPK in her coffee mug and uses it to threaten Monk, then later to shoot at several police officers (to no effect, since they are all wearing body armor).

In the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk On Wheels" (S07E11) a criminal shoots Monk in the leg with a .32 caliber Walther PPK. Monk's assistant, Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard) blames herself, and, ironically, at the climax of the episode, saves the day by subduing the criminal and seizing the gun away, only to accidentally shoot Monk in his other leg (this contradicts a short scene from "Mr. Monk and the Three Julies" (S06E13), when Natalie tells Disher that her husband, a Navy pilot, taught her how to handle a gun).

In the Season Eight episode "Mr. Monk Is Someone Else," (S08E04) while masquerading as a mob hit man, Monk straps what looks like a Walther PPK to his ankle as a back-up gun.
