Nope, Magnum carried a 1911.
Having just done a review of Starsky and Hutch... yeah it's a comedy, its made by the same director that did Old School so it's a lot of slapstick directed at the '70s.
Back then you realize the LAPD only had 4 guys on the SWAT Team and everything happened during the day.. oh and every car, no matter what surface it was on (like dirt roads) made squealing tire sounds. And Glen Larsen owned the universe. And no woman alive on TV owned a bra. Go figure.
But back to basics....
I always liked the fact that Detective Russell on NYPD blue carried a Colt Detective Special, while Andy packs a J-Frame. However I always thought it was a little wierd to see cops armed with a 5 shot 38 taking the lead in an entry.
Didn't McCloud pack an SAA .45?
Hunter packed an HK P9S target model, super cool.
Rico Tubbs packed a sawed off 870... now there was a "talking stick"
But as for my favorite cop...
Nobody beats Dirty Harry. Nobody.
