on Kojak... Det. Crocker wears a second gun in a clip on IWB SOB or at 3 o'clock. later shows he has it in a shoulder rig opposite of his issued .38 spl snub. anyone know what he carried as a second gun?
 
Always liked that show, along with NYPD with Jack Warden and Frank Converse -all those old revolver guy shows were pretty cool
Did they carry Colt DS or S&W CS?
 
Whatever they carry, it beats what this revolver is getting loaded, yes loaded, with in the intro of the original Hawaii Five-O!

A 'New York reload' = 'The fastest reload is always a second gun.'

'Course, the 'NY reload' as a carry method is not limited to New York or to New York cops.

I remember once seeing a Miami-Dade County (Fla) vice detective toting a huge ol' 10mm shiny-something in a shoulder holster, and an Officers Model 1911 in an ankle holster.

I'm okay with a 2-gun set up; I'm just not a fan of parachute pants.
 
the best I can guess is that its a walther ppk. I say that because of the era and what would have been a quality and available gun.
 
Kojak was TV. Nothing on TV is real. Especially when Savalas(Kojak) would shoot a 2" .38 Special revolver from the ground at a guy on the second or third floor of a building and hit him. Every time.
"...Kojak had the lollipop..." As I recall, the story line was it kept him from smoking.
"...a huge ol' 10mm shiny-something..." Bren Ten. There was nothing else in those days.

Those were the then-new, experimental, multi-use primers--they were supposed to be good for 5 shots each, but in field trials they weren't reliable for more than three shots so they never made it into full commercial production.

For real, or are you talking the TV show Miami Vice. In which Sonny Crocket carried a Bren 10 for seasons 1 & 2. Then switched to a S&W 645 during season 3.
If you talking real life, maybe the officer was copying his favorite TV actor, and show.
