Current Status: Season 1 - Complete; Season 2 - Underway (episode: "French Twist"); Season 3-5 - Coming soon
The following weapons were used in the television series Miami Vice:
Handguns
SIG-Sauer P220
Det. Sgt. James "Sonny" Crockett (Don Johnson) uses a SIG-Sauer P220 in the pilot episode of the show. Considering that the pilot episode was filmed in the spring of 1984 the model used would most likely have been the European model with the heel-clip magazine release.
SIG-Sauer P220 1st Generation "American" model - .45 ACP
Crockett holds his SIG-Sauer P220 on Tubbs after Tubbs steals his boat. Neither knowing the other is a police officer.

Dornaus & Dixon Bren Ten
Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) uses a Bren Ten in the first and second seasons of the show. It was essentially a beefed-up CZ 75 chambered for the original 10mm Norma Auto cartridge which differs slightly in case length from later 10mm rounds. This round was HOT, and consequently damaged the guns. In the '80s this was a new cartridge, but is rarely used in modern day. The company of Dornaus& Dixon was an ill-fated one, and since the producers of the Miami Vice-series would not use discontinued guns, it was replaced with the S&W 645 auto pistol
"The two guns were ordered specifically for the show by Michael Mann's production company. They did not come off the assembly line, but were built by Tom Dornaus personally. Tom did the initial blank conversion, if you want to call it that, but actually these two guns were built from the ground up specifically for firing blanks. He used major components which were not deemed suitable for production guns, but were perfectly adequate for a blank gun. The two guns were Standard Models with the old style rear sight assembly and no trigger stop screw. All external markings were standard Bren Ten. The only difference being that the guns had recoil springs and barrels designed to fire .45 ACP blanks. The barrel does not carry any caliber designation roll mark however. Because the ejection port on a Bren Ten is so large I don't believe that it had to be enlarged to accommodate the elongated .45 ACP blank cases. (Remember that the blank cases are in the shape of a loaded round WITH bullet seated.) Michael Mann requested specifically that the slides be a light color (hard chrome) for enhanced visibility. The hard chrome work was done by a small firm in the Huntington Beach area at that time. Both guns carry a special serial number. One of the guns is in the possession of a major collector in Pennsylvania and the other is owned by one of the show's producers, I believe. They weren't Marksmans or Standard Models with conversion kits. They were two specially built guns". from http://www.bren-ten.com/website/id5.html

In "The Maze", Lt. Jack Davis (Joe Morton) is seen carrying a Colt Python in his holster, as noted by it's Colt grips.

In "Definitely Miami", Clemente's messenger's revolver switches from a Smith & Wesson Model 29 to a Colt Python in a brief continuity error. It is noted as so because in one shot his revolver has a half lug running under the barrel (S&W) and then a full lug (Colt).

Ludovici Armstrong (

Jim Zubiena himself. "During the above scene I had a misfortune that could have been reeeeeal bad but as it turned out is just an incident to learn from. The restrictor for the blanks was installed in the flash suppressor instead of in the barrel. The Director wanted to shoot a continuous motion master of the entire scene from first shot to last (going through the window). That entailed firing approx. 60-80 rounds of automatic machine gunning with 2 reloads of 30 rnd mags after the initial mag. was in place. The camera was set up in front of the window with a large Lexan sheet between myself and the camera operators. During the portion of the scene where I am in the air jumping over Ms. Montgomery in the doorway I was hit with something in my left shoulder near the collarbone which spun me around to the left and knocked me on my..... you know. A bit dazed 'we' asked what that was all about and realized quickly that the suppressor had expanded due to the amount of heat created by the many rounds. It slipped off of the threads and went flying at the Lexan. It proceeded to come back at me with enough force to spin and put me down. At the time I didn't freak about it but later realized it could have been bad if it had hit me just about anywhere in the head. Lesson learned ????? ALL barrel plugs are in the BARREL for the rest of time wherever I am."

Trivia
Scene from "The Hit List". Quoted from Jim Zubiena. "The above clip could have ended 'Vice' quickly. The squibs that simulate the bullets hitting the wall where electrically triggered too early...... supposed to wait until Don backed out. As you see, they went off in his face. Don was wearing a very expensive watch, as always, and ..... the squib blew the glass face right off the watch. Glad he reacted quickly to the mishap".
Switek uses Crockett's Bren Ten in "The Hit List", most likely his silver chrome Hi-Power wasn't available and needed a substitute.
One of the SRT members has an accidental discharge in "The Maze".
A Detonics Combatmaster has a 6 round magazine with 1 round in the chamber. Yet, somehow, in this scene from "The Prodigal Son", Crockett manages to squeeze off
13 rounds.
