Hey guys

This is going to date me like crazy but does anyone know which S&W the two good guys carried in this show? I think they were model 14's

In the beginning, Model 14s.

But then the real LAPD transitioned to Model 15s
or had some 14s chopped to 4-inches.

So Adam 12 reflected the change to Model 15s which
were after a time rendered DAO. And a bit later on
the Model 67 was authorized/issued.

And yes, the Model 36 was the off-duty/backup gun.

Martin Milner's 15 and maybe before that the 14 sported
Fuzzy Farrant stocks; Farrant was with the LAPD and did
custom wood.

Milner's Model 15 with the Farrant stocks was auctioned
off from his estate not too long ago.

They state models 14, 15 and 36.

IMGDB is great for finding which firearms are used in various movies, tv shows, etc

Thanks for the link to the Cool Site ... I watched a lot of TV in the old days , westerns , cop shows , private eye , army and action shows and had lots of questions about the arms they carried ,
this can answer a lot of those questions...Appreciate it !

You can also type in a search for a particular firearm, and the database will list all the shows, movies, series, films that that gun has been used in!
 
Car 54 sidearms?

Since it was the NYPD, one may assume
they were Model 10s or Official Police since
they was carried since before Moses was
born. ;)
 
CHiPs?

Smith 5906

as per the IMFDB

Despite similarities, CHiPs as portrayed in the
TV series were not supposed to be descendants
of the Keystone Kops.

The few pictures I could find from CHIPS show revolvers in their holsters.

Here's a link with a clear picture:

Can't vouch for the authenticity, but here's an auction that is supposed to be of the gun Estrada wore in the show. It's a Colt Python.

Yup, the barrel is definitely not from Colt. The description mentions that the gun had a "blocked barrel" but that it was a real weapon.

I don't mess around with Colt revolvers to be able to tell if the rest of the gun is genuine Colt or not.
