==Colt Official Police==
[[Colt Official Police]] Revolvers in .38 Special are used by Sheriff Sid Hatfield ([[David Strathairn]]). Although the Colt Official Police is technically anachronistic, it is most likely standing in for its predecessor, the Colt Army Special. The coal mine company detective Bill Hickey ([[Kevin Tighe]]) also uses the [[Colt Official Police]] as his main sidearm.

[[Image:Tags_dvd_cover.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''The Andy Griffith Show'' (1960-1968)]]

'''''The Andy Griffith Show''''' was a television comedy that ran on CBS from 1960 to 1968, and has been in syndicated reruns ever since. The series starred [[Andy Griffith]] as Andy Taylor, a widower raising his young son while serving as sheriff in the small town of Mayberry, North Carolina. The series cast included [[Don Knotts]] as Deputy Barney Fife and [[Ron Howard]] as Opie Taylor. The series also spawned two spinoffs: ''Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.'' and ''Mayberry, RFD''.

'''The following weapons were used in The Andy Griffith Show:'''

__TOC__ 
=Handguns=

==Colt Official Police==
The standard sidearm of the Mayberry sheriff's office is the [[Colt Official Police]] revolver, normally carried in a swivel-type holster. Andy Taylor ([[Andy Griffith]]) does not normally carry a weapon in his daily duties as sheriff, in the episode "TV or Not TV" (5.23) he explained that he wanted people to respect him as a person and not to fear him because he carried a gun. In the episode "High Noon in Mayberry" (3.17) Andy's revolver is shown to be kept at home, unloaded, hidden on the top of a china cabinet. Deputy Barney Fife ([[Don Knotts]]) always carries his revolver while in uniform, but due to problems with accidental discharges the sheriff requires Barney to carry the revolver unloaded with one round of spare ammunition, which he keeps in his shirt pocket. Only when action was imminent did Andy allow Barney to fully load his revolver. Barney also used the four-inch Official Police for plain-clothes duty, simply stuck in his waistband at the small of his back. Barney's replacement as deputy sheriff, Warren Ferguson, carried the same type of revolver but added a shoulder belt to his Sam Browne gear.

==Colt Detective Special==
After becoming a detective on the Raleigh, North Carolina Police Department, Barney Fife ([[Don Knotts]]) carried a [[Colt Detective Special]], which he wore in a crossdraw belt holster.

==Thompson M1928A1==
In "A Black Day for Mayberry" the Treasury Guard is armed with a [[Thompson Submachine Gun]] with a drum magazine. During the changing of the guard, Barney is given the Thompson, and after the cover is blown, Andy quickly disarms Barney before he can fire at the Armored Truck. (It should be noted that the armor would have easily stopped the .45 ACP rounds. On closer examination of the gun, it appears to be either an early MGC replica, or a demilled non-gun, due to the lack of any markings on the left side of the receiver)
[[image:Tags tommygun 4 copy.JPG|thumb|none|500px|Barney waits in the Armored Truck.
