[edit] Taurus PT92

The Taurus PT92 is used as a stand-in for the Beretta 92 on the show. Carried by many law enforcement officers, villains, and military personnel. Most notably carried by Cordell Walker (Chuck Norris) throughout the series as his primary sidearm. His was nickel plated with custom pearl grips that had the Ranger's star engraved on them. He carried it in a unique strap holster. He stopped using it prior to the final season for an unknown reason. Notable other users of the "Beretta 92" are Joey Prado in the episode "Rookie" (he uses a silenced version to stage a mock killing), the gunrunner "Trigger" in the first season episode "End Run," and the sergeant in the episode, "The Fighting McLains."

[edit] Smith and Wesson Model 29

Walker carries a Smith and Wesson Model 29 with a 4" barrel in the first season and a half. He loses it in the "Rainbow Warrior" episode of season 2. The weapon was hit by a bullet from a Tech-9, which destroyed the cylinder. The bore diameter suggests that it is a .44 magnum 29. The gun also seems to be loaded with cartridges that produce a large amount of smoke for theatrical effect.

Walker's partner James Trivette (Clarence Gilyard Jr.) carries a Walther P-5 from season 2 onwards. He previously used a black SIG P226 and carried in a hip holster. He began carrying the P-5 in a shoulder rig starting in Season 2.

Carried by various military personal, lawmen, and criminals throughout the series. Confiscated from a group of gunruners who spring their fellow gang member out of trial at the begining of the episode "End Run." Walker identifies it as "M16, vintage, Vietnam." Gunrunners are seen shooting a similar weapon in the following scene.

M16A1 with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm.  What distinguishes it from the original M16 was the addition of a raised rib around the magazine release button, changing of the forward Receiver pins, and the addition of the forward assist button on the upper receiver.

[edit] Heckler & Koch MP5

A bad guy hunting walker is seen with one, before walker jumps out of the leaves and incapacitates him. Walker also uses one from the back of a speeding police truck at the begining of the season 2 episode "Road to Black Bayou," in an intense drug bust. In the previous episode ("Rainbow Warrior), Walker's revolver is broken when it gets shot by an oil tycoon and his hired guns on the Cherokee reservation. Those men also use mp5's. At the end of the episode, Walker is given his nickel plated Beretta M9 at CD's by CD, Alex, and Trivette. Trivette remarks that the gun was very expensive, and Walker calls it a "Beauty."

[edit] Winchester Model 1894

Used by several characters, including rangers. It is also used in the fifth season episode called "Chief" by Walker's two friends, the Reservation Policemen Sam Coyote and Black Fox. They use the rifles during a shootout with a thug who works for an oil company and who tried to frame Coyote for the killing of an archeologist. The rifle is also used by rangers during a drug bust outside a run down shack in Part 1 of the episode "Something out of the shadows."

[edit] SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series

Walker is seen with a nickel SIG-Sauer P226 pistol in the Pilot episode. Trivette also carried one during season 1, before switching to a Walther P-5 at the beginning of season 2. Walker's original partner, who was killed in the pilot, also carried a P226. The issuance of this gun is accurate, as it is the official sidearm of the Texas Rangers. The leader of the robbers in the season 2 episode "Flashback" wielded a nickel 226 alongside a Beretta 92. Interestingly, in "Silk Dreams" (2x3), Trivette uses a nickel P226 to shoot Walker in Alex's nightmares.

[edit] Smith & Wesson 4506

During the pilot episode, the bank robber posing as a blind man uses a S&W 4506 to kill Walker's original partner.


[edit] Colt Single Action Army

During the early years of the show, retired Ranger C.D. Parker carries a Colt SAA as his personal sidearm on several occasions. He also apparently carried the weapon when he was an active duty Ranger, as seen in "An Innocnet Man". During the season 2 episode "Flashback", Hays Cooper(Chuck Norris) uses two SAA's. What looks to be a calvary model and later a silver "quickdraw" model. The leader of the Dealy Gang used 2 of these in his final gunfight with Hays Cooper. The use of the SAA is anachronistic because the episode tales place in 1866. The SAA was not produced until 1873.

[edit] Sharps Carbine

During "Flashback", Hays Cooper's, Lockett(Gilyard), carries a Sharps Carbine as a Buffalo Soldier. Cooper later uses the carbine to fatally wound the leader of the Dealy Gang before dying.
