I heard that and said to my wife...." who ever writes for this show doesn't know beans about guns". Even my wife cought the stupid statement.

No, but it does make it a good grizzly bear defense gun.

I thought that the sequence there the guy was cocking the guns behind her was more than a little stupid... The sound effect for the GP-100 was almost like someone was tuning a mouth harp! To take their word for it I expect I could hear someone cocking a GP-100 from the next town away. "Generic piece" is my guess.

Gp-100
As far as TV goes, CSI is one of the better ones. I recently found out that my nephew's mother-in-law is a CSI in Las Vegas and personally helped get that show set up. I thought that was super-neat! But it is just a TV show and written by uninformed people, liberals among them.
My beautiful blued, 4" short-shrouded bbl. GP is for sale for highest bid over $2000.00. Comes with a nice forward canted Bianchi thumb-snap leather holster, too. (Not Really, ha, ha!) (Or is it?)

Ben, that'd be CSI the original. IMHO, CSI Miami is the worst of TV.
The best episode was the one where they used a rifle with no iron sights, so the scope bases, no rings, no scope, just bases, worked as sights...
Rare, huh? ? ?
Where is the GP-100 in the ranks of sales, probably about the second or third most popular DA .357 now being made?
Sheeeeeeshhhhh...That's almost as good as saying the Colt Peacemaker was rare in the 1870's-1890's, and that the 1911-A1 was rare as issued to the US troops in WWII.

Ruger GP-100 and stated it had a different sound because of the hammer block safety.
"Isn't S&W using this same type of transfer bar now?"
I don't believe so.
Actually, Ruger doesn't use a "hammer block safety", the transfer bar doesn't "block" anything, it makes a connection between the hammer and firing pin.
Smith & Wesson DOES use a hammer block.
Another CSI hollywood-ism. They are always able to get DNA results in minutes. Real world generally takes 2 weeks, IF things go fast. Even in house.

Well, we can blame it on bad writing, or bad technical advising. Stopped watching this one a long ways back. Just couldn't deal with listeing/watching David Caruso anymore. Now, if I could watch Emily Proctor (the gun babe)...

Ya, and they can get rifling and match a bullet no matter how mangled it is. Even rifle bullets they can match in about 30 seconds. Don't forget the fingerprint system that finds THE suspect after only half an hour.

My favorite gun moment was in "Daredevil" when Jennifer Garner pulls the bodyguard's Glock on Ben Affleck and shoots it dry and it goes "CLICK CLICK CLICK" as she keeps pulling the trigger!!!!! I was watching it on a plane coming back from Tokyo and I sat up and said out loud "That's not right!" I felt silly, but it wasn't.

Guys, I think William Shatner said it best on an episode of SNL 15 years ago...

The real title of this thread should be;
Brains are rare ON CSI Miami.
Let's face the facts.
If it wasn't for Emily proctor NO ONE would watch that show.
David Caruso is the single most ONE DIMESIONAL actor since Jack Webb. But at least Jack Webb would crack a joke one in a while. Caruso plats the exact same character in everything he's ever done. That's why his movie career was so spectacular. (spectacularly short lived)
Caruso is just so smug I bet he yells his own name during sex. If they ever resurrect that old battery commercial where Robert Conrad was daring you to know the battery off his shoulder they should use him. Almost everyone would like to take a swing at Caruso.
His "mean face" reminds me of a security guard at the cineplex.
He wouldn't last a week on a real police department

Yeah, I feel guilty about shooting mine (a lot); I need to pick up another for investment purposes.

Also according to CSI: Vegas, a Smith and Wesson Sigma is a high-end pistol apparently in the same field as Sig and HK

I finally saw this episode. It looked like a plot quickly thrown together to explain why some characters will not be part of the new season. Gun Guru Babe, for one. Cubano cop babe for another. Hefty detective for three. Cleaning house.
Accuracy was not a priority for the writers, only speed in reacting to actors' contract negotiations, I'd guess.

CSI Miami is a love/hate thing for cops. First, as a man, I love to watch the hot detective shaking her long hair at the crime scene/the hot coroner shake her long hair at the crime scene/the hot 'gun girl' shake her long hair at the crime scene.
Second, as a cop, I hate to think how long it takes them to figure out why, at every one of their crime scenes, there's so much black, brown, on blond hair on each victim.
