Revision as of 21:15, 27 July 2011
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 "Mr. Monk and the Other Detective," (S04E01) Vic Blanchard (Rossif Sutherland) kills two people with a Beretta revolver.
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."

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..

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.
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
