Smith & Wesson Model 10

Uniformed NYPD officers carry the Smith & Wesson Model 10 with the 4" Heavy Barrel. This would be correct for the time period. The NYPD had transitioned to semi-automatic handguns in 1993, but allowed those officers employed before the transition to continue to carry the revolver if they so desired.

Smith & Wesson Model 10 HB (Heavy barrel) Revolver (Post 1950s Model) - .38 Special. Later incarnations of the Model 10 had a non tapered Heavy Barrel, which leads it to be commonly mistaken for a .357 revolver.

Ithaca 37

NYPD ESU officers are seen armed with Ithaca 37 shotguns. Some are seen with an extended barrel and tactical forelight as the ESU clears a house.
