Wilson Combat has been given permission by Mossberg to modify the M-3000 and sell those modified versions. Wilson cuts off the barrel to 7.9 inches (and other barrel lengths are available at customer request), shortens the action bars and magazine tube, moves the barrel mount back, and adds a forward handgrip on the pump slide which can also be folded flush with the rest of the pump slide if desired. The resulting weapon, called the Executive Protection Shotgun, uses synthetic Pachmayr Vindicator furniture and has no buttstock. Despite the short barrel, the shot spread is not extreme due to the tight choke used on the barrel; however, muzzle blast and noise are extreme. Of course, the Executive Protection Shotgun requires either a lot of taxes and red tape to legally acquire, and is therefore used only by certain bodyguards and military and government concerns.

The following weapons were used in the third season of the television series Miami Vice:
Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) carries a Smith & Wesson 645 as his primary weapon during the third and fourth seasons of the show. At the time, it was from Smith & Wesson's brand new line of second generation handguns, as the producers wanted to keep up Crockett carrying a State of the Art pistol.
Detonics Combatmaster
Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) carries a Detonics Combatmaster as a backup gun, in an ankle holster. In reality the Detonics would have been a substantial handgun to carry in an ankle holster.
Several characters also use nickel Smith & Wesson Model 38 "Bodyguard"s. US Customs agent Frank Arriola (Carlos Cestero) uses a nickel S&W 38 as his backup weapon. Lt. Ray Gilmore (Jack Thibeau) carries a nickel S&W 38 in "Shadows of the Dark". A nickel S&W 38 is also used by Clarence Batisse (Victor Love) at the end of "Better Living Through Chemistry".
Det. Stan Switek (Michael Talbott) carries a nickel Browning Hi-Power with target sights as his sidearm throughout the season. In a continuity error the M1911A1 used by Arzola (Timmy Cappello) in "Theresa" switches to a Hi-Power after the short chase.
Smith & Wesson 659
The Undercover cop in the beginning of "El Viejo" uses a Smith & Wesson 659 before being gunned down. One of Montoya's bodyguards also uses an S&W 659 in "Knock, Knock, Who's There?". An S&W 659 is also used by Don Gallego (Paul Calderon) in "Everybody's in Show Biz".
Smith & Wesson 639
An SRT member is seen carrying a Smith & Wesson 639 in a shoulder holster. Although this is the only time we can clearly see an SRT member's sidearm, we can assume that this is the standard sidearm for SRT members.
Colt Trooper MK V
A 6-inch barrel version of the Colt Trooper MK V fitted with pachmayr grips is used by Lt. Castillo (Edward James Olmos) in most episodes. If it was a Python it would have a full lug running under the barrel. The Mk V had the ventilated top barrel rib and the half lug for the ejector rod.
Beretta Cheetah
A hitman in "Baby Blues" uses a Beretta Cheetah with a threaded barrel, which he adds a suppressor to. Another thug also uses one in "Streetwise".
Several characters throughout the season use Beretta 92Fs.
Custom Richard Heinie M1911A1 Series 80
Max Klizer (Walter Gotell) has a Custom Colt M1911A1 Series 80 in his office in "When Irish Eyes are Crying". The gun, custom made by gunsmith Richard Heinie, appears to have a stainless steel finish, the Heinie design fixed rear sight, an extended ambidextrous safety, a combat hammer, and a compensated longslide.
Handgun Display
Max Klizer (Walter Gotell) has several handguns displayed throughout his office in "When Irish Eyes are Crying".
Heckler & Koch P7M13
One of Colonel Maynard's (G. Gordon Liddy) assassins uses a nickel Heckler & Koch P7M13 in "Stone's War". Another assassin later in the episode uses a blued P7M13.
Single Action Army
Texas Ranger Jake Pierson (Willie Nelson) carries with him two 1936 Colt Single Action Armys in "El Viejo" (Crockett specifically says it's a 1936 model). He sells one of them to a pawn shop for extra cash. In the episode it is referred to as a Colt Peacemaker, a common name for Colt SAAs.
Smith & Wesson 669
One of Mendez's thugs uses a Smith & Wesson 669 in "El Viejo". Another thug in "Theresa" also uses an S&W 669.
Desert Eagle Mark I
Howard Famiglia (Tommy Koenig) is seen with a chrome Desert Eagle in a holster at the beginning of "Baby Blues". Reb Gustafson (Reb Brown) uses one throughout the "Viking Bikers from Hell" episode.
Glock 17
A Glock 17 is carried by a Cuban rebel in "Cuba Libre". Crockett takes it off him and uses it through the rest of the episode as he was forced to give up his Smith & Wesson 645 earlier in the episode.
Colt Python
Several characters use Colt Python's throughout the series.
The M1911A1 pistol series are used many characters throughout the series.
Walther PPK/S
Senor Espinoza uses a Walther PPK/S when he hears someone break into his home in "Duty and Honor". Alexander Dykstra (Yorgo Voyagis) also uses a PPK/S with a suppressor in "Lend Me an Ear".
Esteban Montoya (Ian McShane) uses a Taurus PT92C in "Knock, Knock, Who's There?". (Trivia: Ian McShane would later play General Manuel Borbon in the series finale "Freefall")
Info about this custom shotgun:
Wilson Combat has been given permission by Mossberg to modify the M-3000 and sell those modified versions. Wilson cuts off the barrel to 7.9 inches (and other barrel lengths are available at customer request), shortens the action bars and magazine tube, moves the barrel mount back, and adds a forward handgrip on the pump slide which can also be folded flush with the rest of the pump slide if desired. The resulting weapon, called the Executive Protection Shotgun, uses synthetic Pachmayr Vindicator furniture and has no buttstock. Despite the short barrel, the shot spread is not extreme due to the tight choke used on the barrel; however, muzzle blast and noise are extreme. Of course, the Executive Protection Shotgun requires a lot of taxes and red tape to legally acquire, and is therefore used only by certain bodyguards and military and government concerns.
