The following weapons were used in Season 2 of the series Magnum P.I.:
Pistols
Colt Government Model
The main handgun used by Thomas Magnum (Tom Selleck) is a Colt MKIV/Series 70 Government Model, which is a commercial version of the U.S. Military M1911A1. In "Mad Buck Gibson" (S2E08) Buck Gibson (Darren McGavin) takes Magnum's gun while he's asleep. When confronted by Magnum, he teaches him an incorrect "Mozambique Drill", shooting the head of a sillouette target, then the chest twice. The real Mozambique drill consists of 2 shots to the chest, one to the head, in that order. This handgun is supposed to be the one he carried during his service in Vietnam and is sometimes carried in a tanker-style holster, most often seen carried tucked into his waistband around the back. It is sometimes seen in Magnum's flashbacks to Vietnam. A former propmaster for the show has been quoted saying that the original gun was a traditional .45 ACP 1911, but was soon changed to a 9mm version because .45 ACP blanks were too hard to get on location for the show.
Star Model B
Occassionally Magnum's pistol is swapped for a Star Model B.
Beretta 92SB-C
The Beretta 92SB-C is seen various times throughout the season. Magnum picks one off the ground during a shootout in "The Jororo Kill".
K-54 (Type 54)
In "Memories are Forever" (S2E05), Magnum, TC (Roger E. Mosley) and Rick (Larry Manetti) are held at gunpoint by Vietnamese in Little Saigon. Although many Tokarev TT-33 copies have been made across the Eastern Bloc, the one most likely to fall into American hands is the 1980s were Chinese Type 54 pistols. K-54 refers to the Vietnamese designation for the pistol, which considering the context, is likely the pistol being portrayed. It is refered to as "Tokarev Star 9mm" by Rick. 9mm Norinco productions are said to have started around the mid/late 1980s, therefore Rick is incorrect, especially since he recognizes it a Vietnam War firearm. It had nicknames relating to the star on its grips such as "Black Star pistol" in China, therefore the nickname "Tokarev Star" is plausible.
Walther PP
Walther PP pistols are used throughout "Double Jeopardy" (S2E18), one meant to potray a movie prop, another, a real gun.
Walther PPK
Multiple character use Walther PPK throughout the season. The prop used throughtout the season has custom brown grips (Probably wood) featuring a large medallion.
