MacGyver is an action series starring Richard Dean Anderson as a government troubleshoot who uses his wits as well as everyday items to create devices to get out of sticky situations. The show was also notable for the main character's adversion to guns, which was attributed to a tragic childhood accident. While the character never was seen firing guns (save for the pilot episode), that didn't preclude him from using them in a non-lethal manner.

The following weapons were used in the television series MacGyver:


Handguns

Smith & Wesson Model 28

In Season 1's "Flame's End", MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) takes the frame of a Smith & Wesson Model 28 to remove a bolt from a leaking pipe.

This is the hero screen used live firing gun in both films and has since been 'retired' to a glass museum case. Note the extended slide catch.
