Miami Vice (TV Series)

From Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games

The following weapons were used in the television series Miami Vice:

SIG-Sauer P220

Don Johnson uses a SIG-Sauer P220 in the pilot episode of the show. Considering that the pilot episode was filmed in the spring of 1984 the model used would most likely have been a first generation "American" model.

Nope. The improved "American" model (with the 1911-style mag release that was introduced on the P226) didn't come out until 1986-87. All P220s available in 1984 (when the Pilot was filmed) would have had the heel-clip magazine release.

So it would have been the European model then. Jcordell

It was most likely a Browning BDA, which is what Browning used to call the P220 in the early-80s when they were the only company in the U.S. importing it.

M60 machine gun

An M60 can be seen in the back of a Van in the start of an episode.

Dornaus & Dixon Bren Ten

Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) uses a Bren Ten in the first and second seasons of the show. It was essentially a beefed-up CZ75 chambered for the original 10mm Norma Auto cartridge wich differs slightly in case length from later 10mm rounds. This round was HOT, and consequently damaged the guns. In the 80's this was a new cartridge,but rarely used in modern day. The company of Dornaus& Dixon was an ill-fated one, and since the producers of the Miami Vice-series would not use discontinued guns, it was replaced with the S&W 645 auto pistol

Dan Wesson Model 15 Revolver

A 6-inch barrel version of this revolver is used by Edward James Olmos as Lt. Castillo in most episodes. The Dan Wesson revolvers had veny ribs and the cylinder release was in front of the cylinder, above the trigger guard. Assuming that the revolver was a .357 magnum it would have been a Model 15 since it had adjustable sights. The Dan Wesson Model 14 had fixed or "service" sights.
