Law & Order (1990-2010)

Law & Order was a crime procedural series that originally aired on NBC from 1990 to 2010. Each episode in the series followed a particular case from the perspective of the police that investigated the crime to the district attorneys who prosecuted the offenders. Despite several cast changes over its two decade run, the show endured to be tied for the longest running drama in US television history. The show would also spawn several direct spinoff series including Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, and Law & Order: Los Angeles.

The following weapons were used in the series Law & Order:

Handguns

Glock 19

The Glock 19 is the main sidearm carried by the majority of NYPD detectives on the show. The first regular detective seen carrying the Glock was Det. Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt). The other detectives seen carrying the Glock include Detectives Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin), Nick Falco (Michael Imperioli), Nina Cassidy (Milena Govich), Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson). NYPD Officers are seen carrying Glocks as well. The Glock Model 19 is one of the three semi-automatic 9mm pistols authorized by the NYPD for their officers to carry.

Detective Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) can be seen carrying a Smith and Wesson Model 36 during his time on the show. Det. Mike Logan (Chris Noth), Sgt. Max Greevey (George Dzundza), Sgt. Phil Cerreta (Paul Sorvino), as well as Lt. Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson) and Captain Donald Cragen (Dann Florek) are seen carrying Model 36s as well. Van Buren notably using hers in Season 5's "Competence" (S05E18). The Model 36 is used by many veteran NYPD Detectives.

Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub

Detective Joe Fontana (Dennis Farina) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 19 with a 2.5-inch barrel. It could be assumed that his revolver is loaded with .38 special rounds since .357 Magnum revolvers are not on the approved carry list.

In the opening to Season 3's "Mother Love" (S03E15), NYPD Officer O'Brien is seen carrying a Smith & Wesson Model 64 as his sidearm. Other NYPD Officers are seen with Model 64s as well. The S&W Model 64 was modified to meet NYPD requirements and designated as the Model NY-1 by the NYPD and was the authorized issued revolver for all officers of the NYPD who entered on to "the Job" after 1986 until the department stopped issuing revolvers and began issuing semi-automatic 9mm pistols starting around 1992.

Charter Arms Undercover

A Charter Arms Undercover is found in a victim's apartment in "Mushrooms" (S01E17). Another one appears in Season 5's "Wannabe" (S05E16). The gun is said to be chambered in .32 H&R Magnum, which is incorrect, since the Undercover is only chambered in .38 Special, and would therefore be the Undercoverette model, which would be chambered in .32 H&R Magnum.

A Kahr K9 can be seen wielded by Henry Young (Bambadjan Bamba) when he takes Det. Falco "hostage" in Falco's apartment in the episode "Hindsight" (16.21).

Beretta 92F/FS

A Beretta 92FS is found in Season 3's "Securitate" (S3E20) and is identified as a "Beretta nine millimeter" by Detective Logan. In a continuity break, a M1911A1 on the counter turns into a Beretta 92F in "Poison Ivy" (S01E08). (It's likely a 92F rather than a 92FS because the episode was filmed in 1990.)

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm.

A good shot of a Beretta 92F. Too bad it was an M1911A1 in the previous scene.

A .357 Magnum Ruger Redhawk is a piece of evidence in "Poison Ivy" (S01E08). While it is never called that by name, characters refer to it as a Magnum and say that it was chambered in .357 Magnum.

Ruger Redhawk, Stainless steel - .44 Magnum. The one in the episode was chambered in .357 Magnum, however.

What appears to be a Astra 200 is used to kill a police officer in "A Death in the Family" (S01E13). It is picked up off the street by Revina (Karina Arroyave) who draws it on Dets. Greevey and Logan. It is described as a "Smith & Wesson .32."

MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle

An ESU officer is seen with a MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle with A2 handguards in "We Like Mike" (S07E20).

The MGC M16 Assault rifle: a non firing metal replica built by the Model Gun Corp of Japan and one of the most used non firing replicas of the M16 in movies and television. The 'forward assist' on the early models like the one imaged here are bolt inserts to keep the receiver together. Modern MGC M16 replicas have improved by third parties over the years (like adding A1 flash hiders) making it more accurate to the real thing making it harder for 'Connoisseurs' to identify

It's a good thing that's only a replica, because not only is the ESU officer's finger on the trigger, he appears to be pulling it as well.

Miscellanea

The episode "A Death in the Family" (S01E13) features a scene at John Jovino Gun Shop, the oldest gun shop in New York City, and possibly the oldest one in the nation.
