Frank cannon revolver, 70s tv series?

I grew up watching him also, and I have some of the Cannon DVD's. Back in that era, I remember the bad guys and good guys running around with suits, hard shoes, and a 38 snubby, but I couldn't make out exactly what model gun they were, but I would like one for the sake of posterity, and PD.
 
Yep....even the creeps in those TV shows dressed a lot neater than most people do today.....

.....and it's nice to see shows where old fat guys like William Conrad & Karl Malden can get the job done in a fight....gives my hefty self a little confidence... :D
 
I saw some pictures of local people including my parents before marriage, taken around 1910. There were no fat people. Nobody was even slightly obese.There were no supermarkets or grocery stores. This being rural Southern Indiana, what you had to eat was what you could grow or kill. I would assume this was the case nationwide for this time period and earlier.
 
I don't reminder which of the TV detectives told this but he said that he had ended up with a Bankers Colt revolver instead of the Detective special called for in the script. Whatever caliber it was they had blanks that fit it so they never got around to switching it out.
 
I usually don't watch much TV anymore, certainly not much broadcast television. This last Monday night though, I watched the new Hawaii Five-O. Four people were graphically shot in that particular episode and two of them died. It made me think of this thread. The weapons weren't portrayed in a positive, or negative way. Just as being incidental to the story, like a car, a two way radio, etc, etc. No anti-gun message, like the old Five-O would slip in from time to time.
