Homicide: Life on the Street
The following weapons were used in the TV Series Homicide: Life on the Street :
Handguns Glock pistols The standard issue to the Baltimore Police Department is the Glock 17 and the Glock 19 , which at the time was standard issue in real life. Detectives appear to switch between Glock 17s and Glock 19s throughout the series. Glocks are carried by Detective John Munch (Richard Belzer ), Detective Beau Felton (Daniel Baldwin ), Detective Meldrick Lewis (Clark Johnson ), Detective Mike Kellerman (Reed Diamond ), Detective Tim Bayliss (Kyle Secor ), Detective Frank Pembleton (Andre Braugher ), Detective Stu Gharty (Peter Gerety ), Detective Laura Ballard (Callie Thorne ), Detective Paul Falsone (Jon Seda ), and Captain Megan Russert (Isabella Hofmann ), as well as most of the lesser officers and detectives. BPD officers nowadays use Glock 22s in real life. Lieutenant Al Giardello (Yaphet Kotto ) briefly uses one in the episode "Fallen Heroes". In the episode "Fallen Heroes", Junior Bunk (Mekhi Phifer ) takes a detective's Glock from his desk and uses it to kill three police officers in the Homicide Squad room. He then continues firing at other officers and detectives before being shot and killed. Of an interesting note, while most detectives fire their weapon using a two-handed grip, Detective Frank Pembleton often fires his Glock one-handed. Detectives Munch, Felton, and Falsone carry their Glocks in shoulder holsters, while all other detectives carry them in paddle holsters.
