Talk:Walker, Texas Ranger

Okay everybody, I'm making it my mission to get this page finished, so I need a few things. First, can anyone check the S&W model used in the pilot? I just saw it today, but I can't recognize the model. It looks like 4506, but all the S&W semi-autos look the same to me. Seconde, can anyone confirm what 92 Norris uses? I think it's at least supposed to be a Beretta (seeing as how Trivette coments on the price), but it might be a Taurus used as a Beretta stand-in. Finally, can anyone check the model of revolver used by both Walker and the pilot's CD? - Snake Doc

Here's what I can tell you...

• Contrary to what the page says, there are almost no Beretta 92Fs ("M9" is the wrong designation for civilian models) used in the show. Most of the bad guys and cops use Taurus PT92s.

• Walker used a nickel-plated Taurus PT92 in several of the later seasons. He did use a two-tone Beretta 92FS (with a nickel barrel and frame, and a black slide) in one season, I can't remember which. But the all-nickel gun he uses is actually a Taurus.

• The S&W I remember as a 4506, but I will have to check again.

Hope that helps. -MT2008 05:18, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks MT. One more thing, can anyone confirm what type of S&W revolver Walker uses, I did some checking, and I think it might be a pre-war Registered Magnum. I know that's basically a 27, but the rarity of the RM makes me think it'd be the perfect gun for Walker.

Shotguns. In the Pilot, the Remington 870 Walker had looked like a short-barreled Scattergun Technologies model. Later on, he had a Remington 870 Marine Magnum fitted w/ a SideSaddle, as noted by the finish. - BC2009 25 March 2010

Does anyone know the revolver C.D. used in "An Innocnet Man" (1x12)? It looks like a Colt SAA or a possibly and old S&W (possibly a model 15).

Sydney and Gage's sidearm

Snake Doc: Sydney and Gage actually carry a Smith & Wesson Performance Center PC9 MKIII Two- Tone. This is a variant of the Shorty 40 series. I was able to identify it from the Season 8 opening credits after comparing with various 3rd generation S&W autos. During Nia Peeples' credit roll, they took part of the shootout scene from the episode "Tall Cotton", where she emerges from taking cover with her PC9 drawn. It has distinctive features which are easily identifiable in that shot: 6906 muzzle face styling, rearward tapering of the dust cover, black slide and satin alloy frame with rounded smooth surface trigger guard; the barrel, barrel ring and recoil assembly are all stainless; the 2 satin trim accents on the left and right edges behind the magazine well.

In Season #8, Walker carried a Smith & Wesson Model 945. In the second half of the season, he had switched back to the Taurus that he used in the previous seasons.

In Season #9, Walker carried a Smith & Wesson auto, similar to the ones used by Gage & Cooke. It looked like it came from the Smith & Wesson Performance Center as well. The pistol is a bit larger that the compact 9's used by Gage & Cooke, and I can't tell the caliber of the weapon. It is best seen in Season 9, Episode #8, titled "Retribution".

Lastly, I'm pretty sure that Walker's Smith & Wesson Model 66, referred to on the page is actually a Smith & Wesson Model 60.
