Hill Street Blues (1981-1987).

The following firearms were used on the television series Hill Street Blues:



Beretta M1934

During the roll call in the pilot episode, "Hill Street Station" (1.01), an undercover detective can be seen placing a Beretta M1934 during Sgt. Esterhaus's weapons inspection due to "alleged carrying of bizarre and unauthorized weapons by the officers of this precinct".

LaRue's partner, Sgt. Neil Washington (Taurean Blacque), places a pistol-gripped Mossberg 500 on the table during the pilot episode's weapons inspection. This appears to be the same shotgun seen later in the episode as used by Hector, one of the convenience store robbers.

Colt Detective Special (1st Generation)

Capt. Frank Furillo (Daniel J. Travanti) carries a first generation Colt Detective Special in a shoulder holster, notably seen when he removes the holster upon confronting Hector in the pilot episode. Det. Henry Goldblume (Joe Spano) reluctantly draws his Detective Special when he is cornered by thugs after his car blows a flat tire while driving through the ghetto in "Double Jeopardy" (1.05). He tells his supervisor that, until Capt. Furillo noticed, he had always carried the revolver unloaded, never expecting to use it.

Based on the muzzle breaks on some of the guns, they could be carrying MGC-M16 props, which are good stand ins when no one is firing. - Gunmaster45
