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 1 of the television series Mannix:
Pistols
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 is prominent, pretty much being the only semi-automatic pistol commonly used besides Mannix's PP. However, Mannix often implies the M1911A1 is double-action - the Colt M1911A1 is SAO.
Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket
In "Skid Marks on a Dry Run", Ms. Ellis (Wende Wagner) uses a ivory-handled Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket that she keeps in her purse.
Walther PP
The Walther PP Mannix's Intertect-issued sidearm, kept in a bare-bones metal holster. It is rarely seen anywhere else.
Revolvers
Colt Detective Special
Mannix's personal sidearm is a Colt Detective Special. It is also common gun for "goons" to carry and use.
Mannix points his DS at Lorne in the same episode.
Colt Official Police
The Colt Official Police is used by a lot of characters from both sides of the law.
Rifles
Winchester Model 70
During the events of "Nothing Ever Works Twice" (S1E02), Lorne Marshall (Frank Aletter) uses a pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 during the events of the episode.
Sporterized Arisaka Type 2 Paratrooper Rifle
Undoubtedly the star of "The Cost of a Vacation" (S1E06), it is used to great effect by hitman Ramon Verona (Donnelly Rhodes). The custom Arisaka Type 2 is fitted with a sporting stock, higher front sights, a Hiram Maxim 1900's style suppressor, and a custom bolt.
