TV Series "The Greatest American Hero"

For those of you who are familiar with this show from the early 80's, can anyone identify the custom pistols used by Bill Maxwell character played by actor Robert Culp? I can tell that one of the pistols was a Devel S&W Model 39 that the character carried in a custom tan colored shoulder holster rig. There was also standard blued 1911 Goverment Model. However, their was also a matching pair of polished blued long slide pistols the character would carry in custom black colored shoulder holster rig. I think they were Colt Model 1905's, but I'm not sure. Can anyone provide anymore info on these pistols and possibly who made the holsters? I have to believe that actor Robert Culp was in real life a firearms aficianado.

Google is a scary thing. Here is the George Costanza answering machine version of the song:

Try to get THAT out of your head

I found one picture of Robert Culp from the series - not worth posting - looks like a 1911.
