Monk was a USA Network original series that aired for 8 seasons from 2002-2009 and starred Tony Shalhoub as a police consultant for the SFPD who helps solve cases while dealing with his obsessive compulsive disorder.
The following weapons were seen in the television series Monk:
Pistols
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is seen used by various characters in the series including police consultant Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), and Lt. Randy Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford).
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 Season 2's "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 contains his 9mm Beretta in the glovebox.
In Season 3's "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" (S03E09), "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever," (S03E12), Stottlemeyer carries a Beretta 92FS instead of his usual Smith & Wesson 3913. In "Cabin Fever," both he and Disher use Berettas during the shootout with two Chinese hitmen.
In the series finale "Mr. Monk and the End, Part II" (S08E16), Monk also holds a Beretta on Judge Rickover (Craig T. Nelson).
"Lane & Westen" (Fictional name for Beretta)
Probably because of legal objections that came after the episode "Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man," subsequent Beretta pistols which appeared in the series were given the fictional name "Lane & Westen," though a few times, these pistols are referred to as Berettas.
In Season 2's "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 Season 6's "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part I" (S06E15) is also a Beretta 92FS described as a Lane & Westen. In "Mr. Monk Is On the Run," John Rollins (Scott Glenn) frames Monk for murder by shooting Frank Nunn with another Lane & Westen, after replacing the barrel with the barrel from Monk's own gun, then switching them back. At times, the handgun Monk is seen handling is a Beretta 92SB as evidenced by the rounded trigger guard.
In Season 7's "Mr. Monk's Other Brother" (S07E10), Adrian's half-brother Jack, Jr. (Steve Zahn) "borrows" Monk's pistol and uses it to return fire when prison guard Daniel Reese (Titus Welliver) opens fire on them.
Jack, Jr.: "What...? Oh, yeah! No, I borrowed it - and be glad I did!" (Episode 7.10, "Mr. Monk's Other Brother).
Beretta 92FS Centurion
In Season 2's "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 newly issued Beretta 92FS Centurion sidearm, correctly described as a "Beretta 9mm Centurion."
Beretta 950 Jetfire
A Beretta 950 Jetfire is used by coin dealer Jacob Posner (J.P. Manoux) in "Mr. Monk Is Up All Night" (S06E09) during a botched "drug deal".
Colt 1908 Vest Pocket
In Season 4's "Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty" (S04E16), Miguel Escobar's girlfriend hides what appears to be a Colt 1908 Pocket in her coffee mug and uses it to threaten Monk.
Colt Double Eagle
A Colt Double Eagle is seen in the hands of the leader of a gang to threaten Karl Torini (Steve Valentine) in Season 7's "Mr. Monk and the Magician" (S07E15).
In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Dentist," (S04E15) Denny Jardeen (Steve Heinze) kills an armored car driver with what appears to be a Double Eagle pistol.
Colt Single Action Army
In Season 8's "Happy Birthday, Mr. Monk" (S08E09), Cowboy Hank (Jack Betts) carries dual Colt Single Action Army revolvers.
Glock 17
In the Season 3 episode "Mr. Monk Goes to the Ballgame," (S02E03) Walker Browning (Rainn Wilson) kills a corporate CEO and his wife with a Glock 17.
In the Season 3 episode "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine," (S03E09) Lester Highsmith (Ken Marino) uses a Glock 17 when he opens fire on several cops in a drive-by shooting.
In the Season 3 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 4 episode "Mr. Monk Goes Home Again" (S04E02), Paul Gilstrap (David Weisenberg) shoots an armored car driver with his own Glock 17 in an attempt to cover up the fact that the driver had been poisoned by a candy bar.
In the Season 4 episode "Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa" (S04E09) criminal Frank Prager (Gill Gayle) fires five rounds at Captain Stottlemeyer with a Glock 17, leaving an "M" on the side of a wall.
In the season 7 episode "Mr. Monk Buys a House," handyman "Honest" Jake Phillips (Brad Garrett) is armed with what appears to be a Glock (exact model unknown). Jake uses it to take Monk and Natalie hostage, and after finding a hidden stash of money in Monk's "new" house, he uses it to kill his assistant "Honest" Ramone (Ivo Nandi).
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).
Vektor CP1
In Season 6's "Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure" (S06E06), "Happy" Jack Connolly pistol-whips his brother with what appears to be a two-tone Vektor CP1 during a flashback.
Kahr K9
In the Season 8 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.
Ruger Blackhawk
In the episode "Mr. Monk Goes to the Circus" (S02E04), 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 Blackhawk revolver, which comes in a model that chambers the .454 Casull cartridge.
SIG-Sauer P226 (Non-Gun)
In the Season Six episode "Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees" (S06E05), sports agent Rob Sherman (Vincent Ventresca) shoots career burglar Dewey Jordan with his own 9mm pistol, and, when his wife comes running down to investigate, shoots her dead with a .38-caliber revolver, which he then places in the dead Dewey'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 what appears to be a SIG-Sauer P226 Non Gun.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
In the Season Five premiere, "Mr. Monk and the Actor" (S05E01), Jack Leverett (Greg Grunberg) uses a bright, nickel-plated snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a square butt and pearl grips, to shoot pawn shop owner Lexus Orlov. It is referenced by Lt. Disher as a "Smith & Wesson 38 with a pearl handle".
Smith & Wesson Model 19
David Raskin (Stanley Tucci), an actor who has immersed himself in playing Monk in a role, pulls a S&W Model 19 during a standoff in Season 5's "Mr. Monk and the Actor".
Smith & Wesson Model 36
In the season 6 episode "Mr. Monk and the Daredevil," Joey Krenshaw (David Koechner) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 36 to force his cousin Harold to the edge of a hospital roof at gunpoint. When Natalie attacks Joey with a pipe, Joey accidentally drops the gun, which can be identified based on the shape of the trigger guard and the handle.
In the Season 6 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 Model 66
In "Mr. Monk and the Other Detective," (S04E01) Vic Blanchard (Rossif Sutherland) uses what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver.
Smith & Wesson 3913
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) carries 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 (Monk says in "Mr. Monk and the Captain's Marriage" that one time, Karen organized a rally for stronger gun control while Leland was out on a hunting trip)). The size and dimensions of the pistol, as well as the diameter of the barrel, indicate the model. Various other cops and criminals use various Smith & Wesson pistols as well.
In the episode "Mr. Monk Can't See A Thing" (S05E04), a blind Monk grabs Stottlemeyer's gun and uses it to shoot Peter Breen, advancing on them with a knife..
Smith & Wesson 6906
In the episode "Mr. Monk's Favorite Show" (S08E01), actress Christine Rapp (Elizabeth Perkins), the actress Monk is protecting, uses a Smith & Wesson 6906 to "defend herself" from Victor Timlinson, an "assailant".
Walther P38 (Water Pistol)
In the episode "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" (S03E09) Monk uses a water pistol modeled on a Walther P38 in an attempt to bluff Lester Highsmith (Ken Marino) at an industrial park, 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 Steven 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 is the normal 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. In the flashback summation at the end of the episode, Commander Whitaker (William Atherton) shoots and kills Lt. Commander Jason Pierce with a Walther P38 equipped with an improvised suppressor made from a bottle screwed on to the barrel and tightened with surgicaltape.
Walther PPK/S
In Season 1's "Mr. Monk Takes A Vacation" (S01E10), hotel security chief and cop wannabe Rita Bronwyn (Polly Draper) carries a Walther PPK/S.
In the Season 6 premiere "Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan" (S06E01), John Ringel (John Mese) takes Monk and Marci Maven (Sarah Silverman) hostage with a Walther PPK. He later uses it during a shootout with Stottlemeyer and Disher.
In Season 7's "Mr. Monk on Wheels," (S07E11) criminal John Kuramoto (Alain Uy) shoots Monk in his left leg with a Walther PPK/S. Later in the episode, Sarah Longson (Pamela Adlon), his employer, turns on him and uses the same gun to kill him. The first good look at the gun comes at the end when Natalie (Traylor Howard) chases Sarah out of a bioengineering lab, and she pulls the gun out of her purse. After a short struggle between Natalie and Sarah, Natalie is able to grab the gun and forces Sarah to surrender (the second time in the series that Natalie ever holds a gun). She appears not to be very proficient with firearms, as she unintentionally discharges a bullet into Monk's right leg when she turns around, which contradicts the fact that in "Mr. Monk and the Three Julies" (S06E13), she said that her late husband Mitch took her to a firing range all the time, and she even said she knew how to use a gun, implying that Natalie would have had experienced marksmanship.
In the Season 8's "Mr. Monk Is Someone Else," (S08E04) while masquerading as contract killer Frank DePalma, Monk straps what looks like a Walther PPK to his ankle as a backup gun (and then conceals it with his pant leg), though only to fit in with the character.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is used by SFPD SWAT team members, fitted with Navy trigger groups, Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights, and an unknown scope. The SWAT teams appear in several episodes, including "Mr. Monk and the Candidate, Part II" (S01E02) and Season Three's "Mr. Monk and the Kid" (S03E16). In "Mr. Monk's 100th Case" (S07E07), the H&K MP5A3 is seen being utilized by SWAT officers during a raid on a photography studio and later on a motel room.
Ingram MAC-10
In the Season Three episode "Mr. Monk Meets the Godfather" (S03E05) a crew of mafia hoods from the Lucarelli crime family are gunned down at a barber shop with a MAC-10 seized from one of them.
Rifles
Blaser 93 Sniper Rifle
A Blaser 93 sniper rifle by an Asian hitman in Season 3's "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever".
M4A1
Numerous police and SWAT officers use various M4 variants. An SFPD officer holds one in Episode 6.13, "Mr. Monk and the Three Julies."
.
Norinco Type 56-1
In the Season Three episode "Mr. Monk and the Election" (S03E15) illegal arms dealer Jack Whitman tries to disrupt Natalie's campaign headquarters by shooting up the office with a semi-automatic Type 56-1. It is later revealed that he was actually trying to shoot out a copier machine with an incriminating document containing his client's names and the weapons being sold to them.
The AKM is also seen in the hands of an East Asian drug cartel member in the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk and the Magician" (S07E15).
Ruger Model 77
In Season 3's "Mr. Monk and the Employee of the Month" (S03E07), Monk grabs a Ruger Model 77 (identifiable from the paddle stock, and the built-in strap ring on the forestock, both of which are visible for a second) from the sporting goods section of the "Mega-Mart" and tosses it to his ex-partner, Joe Christie (Enrico Colantoni), who uses it to shoot out the tire of a bank robber gang's getaway van.
Remington 700PSS
SFPD SWAT snipers are seen using the Remington 700PSS sniper rifle, notably in Season 6, during "Mr. Monk on the Run, Part 1".
Ruger Mini-14
In the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk's Other Brother" (S07E10) prison guard Daniel Reese (Titus Welliver) fires a semi-automatic Ruger Mini-14 from his rooftop at Monk, Natalie, and Monk's brother Jack (Steve Zahn), who returns fire with Monk's own "borrowed" pistol. During a staged escape seen in flashback, Reese tries to shoot an escaping prisoner from a guard tower with what appears to be the same semiautomatic rifle.
Weatherby Mark V Fibermark
In the pilot episode, "Mr. Monk and the Candidate" (S01E01-02) hit man Ian Sykes (Shawn Reis) uses a bolt-action rifle identified later in the episode as a "Weatherby Mark V Fibermark" as his weapon of choice. It is incorrectly described as a British-made rifle, when in reality the Mark V line is American-made. It is also described as a hunting rifle that is popular with mercenaries and paramilitary groups for use as a sniper rifle.
Winchester Model 70
In the Season 2's "Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife" (S02E14), Evan Coker (Daniel Goddard) kills a tow truck driver with a Winchester Model 70 rifle, which is described by Disher as a "Winchester bolt-action rifle" in 30-.06 caliber.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500
Seen used by various police.
Winchester Model 1300
In the season 5 episode "Mr. Monk Is At Your Service" (S05E12), Paul Buchanan (Sean Astin) tries to kill Natalie with a Winchester Model 1300 shotguns, though is distracted when Monk shows up with an identical rifle taken from one of Paul's hunting friends, and Monk shoots down a quail with a single shot. Natalie then grabs the gun from Buchanan and she and Monk train both rifles on Buchanan.
Other
Starter Pistol
Monk's assistant Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram) uses a starter pistol in "Mr. Monk and the Candidate, Part II" (S01E02) to test a suspect's claim that he located a sniper by the sound of his shot.
RGD-5 Hand Grenade
In the Season Three episode "Mr. Monk and the Election" (S03E15), an arms dealer throws an RGD-5 hand grenade (erroneously described as being manufactured in Chechnya) through Natalie's window. In a rather comical scene, Monk slo-mo runs and tosses the grenade into the refrigerator... but then reopens the door and places it neatly in an empty compartment of an egg carton, before slamming the door and running away. Even in slow motion, the grenade takes a ridiculously long time to explode. The plausibility of this scene was later tested and declared "busted" on an episode of MythBusters.
