God I wanna love that 1076. So much. I’ve owned a few.

Every time. Same thing. It’s massive. Trigger is awful. Weighs a ton. Decocker is awkward.

I'm not 100% sure of the year that it came out, but if it makes the list a S&W 4566 would be a good choice.

I had a been ten and a marksman special match in .45


They were beautiful. But I was so scared to shoot them and destroy them they were just conversation pieces

I really wanted the VLTOR clone to get made

I don't think the Heckler & Koch P7 ever showed up on Miami Vice, but it would have been an excellent choice for someone.

What did the lieutenant carry? I only recall him with some type of wooden sword.

Stone's War October 3, 1986 and "Baseballs of Death" February 19, 1988. Hard-chromed P7 M13

A Colt Trooper Mark V with a 6" barrel. He had the economy version, which had a parkerized finish, and in that configuration, was known as the Peacekeeper.

Ugh. Teal and mauve...yeah, I think I can leave the heart of that decade in the past.

Okay, I'll be the boring one: G19, since it went live a year before the series ended. And I bought my first G19 the same year the series finished. Plus it was the first pistol that I ever bought.

But if I have to choose a sidearm that existed around the time of the start of the series, I'd pick a Walther P1 just because I've always like the look of the P38. The P7 suggestion mentioned above is cool as well. But honestly I'd rather have a 3" blued Colt Python. Just 'cause. Plus it goes very well with the grunge flannel era that was about to come...

One of these:



Or a Walther P5, or a HK P7, or a S&W 469, or a S&W J frame.

In addition to the Colt Trooper that he carried; he also used a long slide Detonics on a couple of episodes. The Prodigal Son, where they are waiting in the swamp for the drug dealers to arrive is the one episode that stands out in my mind.

I am so far out in the boonies, the only way to stream anything is to get 10 neighbors in the surrounding 20 square miles to act the scenes out.

Toss up between the 4506 and Switek's Hi-Power.

...the real version of the first Airsoft pistol I bought. That was a two-tone Smith 59.

Let me guess - Daisy Soft Air Model 59? Big Grin

I had one as a kid and LOVED that pistol.
(Honestly, if I found one nowadays relative cheap, I might pick one up for nostalgia sake. Big Grin )

With enough whiskey, that could actually be a good time.

Bought a S&W 669 in the mid eighties, sold it several years later as I could never get used to the extremely long double action trigger pull.
