Law & Order - Season 1

Law & Order - Season 1 (1990 – 1991)

Law & Order premiered on Tuesday, September 13th, 1990, with the first episode "Prescription for Death". This episode actually was not the first episode produced as the original pilot "Everybody's Favorite Bagman" would eventually air as the sixth episode of the first season. This episode was produced two years earlier and had Roy Thinnes as District Attorney Alfred Wentworth rather than Steven Hill as DA Adam Schiff. Hill was eventually hired when Thinnes was not able to reprise his role when the series went into production.

Handguns

Smith & Wesson Model 36

Sergeant Max Greevey (George Dzundza) and Detective Mike Logan (Chris Noth) are armed with Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolvers. Captain Donald Cragen (Dann Florek) appears to be armed with one as well, but never draws it.

Smith & Wesson Model 36 - .38 Special - 5 shot

Greevey and Logan confront a suspected cop killer with revolvers drawn in "A Death in the Family" (S01E13).

Sgt. Max Greevey (George Dzundza) holds his S&W on a woman in Season 1's "The Violence of Summer" (S01E14).

Ruger Redhawk

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.

A lab technician fires the Redhawk into a water tank for ballistics testing. Many characters throughout the episode remark on the high quality of the revolver.

M1911A1

Sgt. Greevey pulls a M1911A1 out of a gunsmith's (John Capodice) drawer in "Poison Ivy" (S01E08).

Pre-War Colt M1911A1 Pistol Commercial - .45 ACP

Greevey lays the M1911A1 on the gunsmith's counter. It turns into a Beretta 92F in the next scene.

Beretta 92F

A Beretta 92F is the murder weapon in "Happily Ever After" (S01E05). It is described by the investigators as a "Beretta model 94, blowback semi-automatic. 9mm", which is completely made up. 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.)
