I don't think that's a National Match, looks to me more like a Para Ordnance. Judging from the slide serrations and roll mark style. Kimber is another choice, but it lacks front serrations usually found on them. I also don't think it has adjustable sights, looks like fixed 3-dot.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 17:56, 23 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 17:56, 23 November 2010
Has the pilot aired already?
A four-minute preview has been widely available on youtube. --Ben41 06:06, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
Spelling error in title
This show's title is spelled with a "0" instead of an "O". It should read Hawaii Five-0
A lot of reloading
Some of the characters do a lot of speed reloads and tactical reloads during the first episode. Excalibur01 15:00, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
- Not that it makes the show a whole lot more realistic. But seeing SIGs in action is always nice. -MT2008 03:47, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, but I find it annoying that they do a tactical reload EVERY SIX SHOTS. Just saying that if you have a double stack magazine, might as well use it. The first time I saw it, it almost confused me into thinking that Alex O'Loughlin was using a P220. 24.15.51.1 20:25, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Chick Guns
I find it annoying that this show arms Grace Park exclusively with 'Chick Guns' like the 3913 and Kel-Tech pistols she is seen using. For a more in-depth rant on this subject, see the X Files discussion page. -Anonymous
- Speaking of which, what type of S&W is she using? It has the barrel of a 3913 "Ladysmith", but it's missing the cream-colored grips. I thought it was a regular 3913 until I took a look at the shape of the barrel. -MT2008 01:33, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- What are the differences between the barrels of the standard model and the Ladysmith version? -Anonymous
- Compare the two pictures of them. -MT2008 02:45, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- I did, the barrels and slides look identical. Unless your talking about the underside of the barrel which is more angular on the Ladysmith version. At first I thought you meant the slides when you referred to the barrels but if you are referring to the undersides, than yes I definitely see the difference. -Anonymous
- Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant...you can see that the lower part of the frame on the 3913 and Ladysmith are different. Kono's S&W has the Ladysmith-style frame, even though her gun has black grips. -MT2008 15:08, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- This further supports my "Chick Gun" comment as they armed Kono with a weapon that has "Lady" in the title. -Anonymous

Why is the Kel-Tec PF-9 a "chick" gun? It was given as a back up by her boss. The Kel-tec is an awesome choice for a back-up. As for the Ladysmith, it was probably a good choice. The Ladysmith series was built to accomodate people with smaller hands. Kono is not a big girl no matter how much of a right hook she has. Stainless helps in the Hawaiian heat and the 9mm round is what the rest of her unit uses. At least it was a larger gun instead of immediately going to something like the Glock 26. I'm just glad it was something you don't see very often. 96.32.179.156 22:51, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- My rant about the 'Chick Gun' thing is further explained on the X-Files discussion page. My point isn't that these guns are bad, just that it seems demeaning that she is armed only with single-column, small frame pistols while her male colleagues weapons are larger frame, double-stack pistols. As I pointed out on the X-Files discussion page, this is a fairly common trend. Many shows and films arm female cops/federal agents with, at worst .32 or .380 pocket pistols or at best smaller, lower capacity versions of the men's weapons as Duty weapons. The Kel-Tec in this show was her back-up gun, so that doesn't really count, but the fact that she uses a 3913 Ladysmith as her primary duty weapon does certainly fit this trend (by the way I like the 3913, I just don't think it should be a primary weapon for a LEO). As I mentioned on the X-Files page, I don't bring this up as a sexist issue but as a realism one, since in most real life instances women use the same pistols as men, small hands or not. -Anonymous
- I just watched last night's episode. Kono's gun is definitely a 3913 "Ladysmith" with black grips. During the scene where they raid the house where the militant group is storing its weapons, there's a close-up of Kono where the slide/barrel of her pistol are clearly visible, and you can see that it says "Ladysmith" on the right side. -MT2008 01:38, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- More evidence for the "Chick Gun" phenomenon.

Well I believe there are "girl guns" and then there are guns that fits into the hands of a girl and if she can handle the recoil. I mean, I've heard of a girl owning and really handling her Desert Eagle in .50, but not all girls need to get a "big" gun to make them more equal to a guy with a gun. It's a gun...seriously. It's not like comparing a regular lap to girly laps. Excalibur01 02:50, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Holsters
Hey guys, just wondering, what is the holster that Lt. Cmdr. Steve McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) uses on his Tactical vest? The one where the SIG goes side on. - GunEnthusiast
M727?
- yup. -Winchester
Colt Gold Cup National Match
I don't think that's a National Match, looks to me more like a Para Ordnance. Judging from the slide serrations and roll mark style. Kimber is another choice, but it lacks front serrations usually found on them. I also don't think it has adjustable sights, looks like fixed 3-dot.--Predator20 17:56, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
