'''''Monk''''' was a [[USA Network]] original series that aired for 8 seasons from 2002 to 2009 and starred [[Tony Shalhoub]] as Adrian Monk, a former homicide inspector with the San Francisco Police Department who quit the force following the death of his wife in a car explosion that led to a worsening of the symptoms of his obsessive compulsive disorder. Monk, with the help of his nurse, now works for the department as a special consultant to solve cases while continuing to cope with his disorder.

In Season 3's "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" (S03E09), "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever," (S03E12) Captain Stottlemeyer ([[Ted Levine]]) carries a Beretta 92FS instead of his usual [[Smith & Wesson 3913]].  In "Cabin Fever," both he and Disher use Berettas when they are attacked by Chinese hit men.

=="Lane & Westen" (Fictional name for Beretta)==
 
 
 
Possibly because of legal objections after the episode "Mr. Monk and the Very Old Man," subsequent Beretta pistols which appeared in the series were given the fictional name "Lane & Westen."
 
 
 
In Season 2's "Mr. Monk and the Three Pies" (S02E11), Monk's brother Ambrose ([[John Turturro]]) overhears his neighbor, Pat van Ranken ([[Holt McCallany]]) murder his wife, Rita, by shooting her with a 9mm "Lane & Westen."  Ambrose claims to be able to recognize the gun just by the shot it fired; Adrian is skeptical at first, stating that Lane & Westen doesn't make a 9mm pistol, but Ambrose counters that they did until 1992.  A pistol manufacturer that does not offer a 9mm caliber-weapon is virtually unheard of.
 
 
 
Monk's own police-issue sidearm, as seen in Season 6's "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part I" (S06E15) is also a Beretta 92FS described as a Lane & Westen. Corrupt Sheriff Rollins ([[Scott Glenn]]) frames Monk for murder by shooting a criminal with another Lane & Westen, after replacing the barrel with the barrel from Monk's own gun, then switching them back.  At times, the handgun Monk is seen handling is a [[Beretta 92SB]] as evidenced by the rounded trigger guard.
 
 
 
In Season 7's "Mr. Monk's Other Brother" (S07E10), Adrian's half-brother Jack, Jr. ([[Steve Zahn]]) "borrows" Monk's pistol and uses it to return fire when a suspect shoots at them.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
 
In Season 2's "Mr. Monk and the Very Very Old Man" (S02E05), Lt. Randy Disher ([[Jason Gray-Stanford]]), in trying to distract Captain Stottlemeyer's wife Karen, shows off his newly issued [[Beretta 92FS Centurion]] sidearm, correctly described as a "Beretta 9mm Centurion."

==Glock 17==
 
In the Season Three episode "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine," (S03E09) armed robber Lester Highsmith ([[Ken Marino]]) tries to kill Captain Stottlemeyer with a [[Glock 17]].

==Kahr K9==
 
In the Season Eight episode "Mr. Monk is the Best Man" (S08E13), criminal Stephanie Briggs ([[Teri Polo]]) holds Stottlemeyer and Monk at gunpoint after recovering a pistol that she stuffed in a garment bag.  When Stottlemeyer tells his girlfriend not to worry because the gun is not loaded, Stephanie responds by firing a round into the air - at which point the slide locks back, and Stottlemeyer informs Stephanie that the clip fell out into the garment bag, and she just spent the one round left in the chamber.

==Smith & Wesson 3913==
 
 
 
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer ([[Ted Levine]]) carries a [[Smith & Wesson 3913]] as his primary weapon (comically, in "Mr. Monk and the Old Man" (S02E05), he has to hide it whenever his wife comes around, since she is a pacifist and believes that he doesn't go armed).  The size and dimensions of the pistol, as well as the diameter of the barrel, indicate the model.  Various other cops and criminals use various Smith & Wesson pistols as well.
 
 
 
In the episode "Mr. Monk Can't See A Thing" (S05E04) Adrian Monk ([[Tony Shalhoub]]) grabs Stottlemeyer's gun and uses it to shoot an advancing criminal.
 
[[Image:3913.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Smith & Wesson 3913 - 9mm]]
 
[[Image:MonkJulies.01.JPG|thumb|none|500px|Stottlemeyer ([[Ted Levine]]) draws his [[Smith & Wesson 3913]] from a back holster. (Episode 6.13, "Mr. Monk and the Three Julies").]]

==Smith & Wesson 6906==
 
 
 
In the episode "Mr. Monk's Favorite Show" (S08E01), actress Christine Rapp ([[Elizabeth Perkins]]), the actress Monk is protecting, uses a [[Smith & Wesson 6900 pistol series#Smith & Wesson 6906|Smith & Wesson 6906]] to "defend herself" from an "assailant".

==Walther P38 (Water Pistol)==
 
 
 
In the episode "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" (S03E09) Monk uses a water pistol modeled on a [[Walther P38]] to bluff a criminal, only, to his embarrassment, to let the barrel drip, revealing its true nature.
 
 
 
In the episode "Mr. Monk is Underwater" (S07E05) Monk borrows a sidearm from Navy Lieutenant Albright ([[Casper Van Dien]]) to test whether a plastic bottle found at a murder scene could be taped around the barrel and used as a silencer.  The gun Albright hands to Monk is a [[Walther P38]], despite the fact that the [[Beretta 92FS]] was the sidearm issued to the U.S. Navy.  The Walther was probably used because its long, thin barrel makes it easy for Monk to make the experiment.

==Walther PPK/S==
 
In Season 1's "Mr. Monk Takes A Vacation" (S01E10), hotel security chief and cop wannabe Rita Bronwyn ([[Polly Draper]]) carries a [[Walther PPK/S]]. In the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk On Wheels" (S07E11) a criminal shoots Monk in the leg with a .32 caliber Walther PPK.  Monk's assistant, Natalie Teeger ([[Traylor Howard]]) blames herself, and, ironically, at the climax of the episode, saves the day by subduing the criminal and seizing the gun away, only to accidentally shoot Monk in his other leg (this contradicts a short scene from "Mr. Monk and the Three Julies" (S06E13), when Natalie tells Disher that her husband, a Navy pilot, taught her how to handle a gun).
 
 
 
In the Season Eight episode "Mr. Monk Is Someone Else," (S08E04) while masquerading as a mob hit man, Monk straps what looks like a Walther PPK to his ankle as a back-up gun.

==Colt 1908 Pocket==
 
In Season 4's "Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty" (S04E16), the girlfriend of a drug dealer hides what appears to be a [[Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket|Colt 1908 Pocket]] in her coffee mug and uses it to threaten Monk, then later to shoot at several police officers (to no effect, since they are all wearing body armor).

It is incorrectly described as a British-made rifle, when in reality the Mark V line is American-made.  It is also described as a hunting rifle that is popular with mercenaries and paramilitary groups for use as a sniper rifle.

== RGD-5 Hand Grenade ==
 
In the Season Three episode "Mr. Monk and the Election" (S03E15), an arms dealer throws an [[RGD-5 hand grenade]] (erroneously described as being manufactured in Chechnya) through Natalie Teeger's window. In a rather comical scene, Monk slo-mo runs and tosses the grenade into the refrigerator, but then re-opens the door and places it neatly in an empty compartment of an egg carton, before slamming the door and running away.  Even in slow motion, the grenade takes a ridiculously long time to explode.
