Smith & Wesson Model 14

Officers Peter Malloy and Jim Reed, as well as several other police officers, are seen unholstering and firing their revolvers several times throughout the series.

Ithaca 37

Los Angeles Police officers, including Peter Malloy and Jim Reed, are often seen using Ithaca 37 shotguns whenever they must deal with armed suspects. They are equipped with standard magazine tubes. The Ithaca 37 was the standard shotgun for the LAPD for several decades until the late 90s, when they switched over to the Remington 870.

Colt Detective Special

Many Los Angeles Police detectives are seen with Colt Detective Specials in their holsters. The Detective Special was popular with many LAPD detectives (as well as many detectives throughout the country), due to its small size ideal for concealed carry, up until 1988 when the LAPD switched over to semi-autos.

Federal M201-Z Grenade Launcher

Sergeant MacDonald carries a Federal M201-Z Grenade Launcher in the back of his patrol car, kept with several tear gas grenades in a brown case. He often loads it up when the police are dealing with a barricaded armed suspect, usually giving it to Malloy to fire.
