The Walking Dead (TV Series)

The Walking Dead (2010)

The Walking Dead is a television series airing on AMC that chronicles the actions of County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) as he leads a band of survivors after a pandemic has turned the population into zombies. The series was adapted for television by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) from the Image comic book series.

Handguns

Colt Python

Deputy Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) carries a six-inch barreled Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver as his duty sidearm in the series. Of note is that when Grimes fires the gun in a very tight, enclosed space (in this case, inside a tank), it actually severely disorients him and hurts his hearing, unlike most movies or shows that have people firing guns indoors or in other enclosed spaces without being phased.

Glock 17

A Glock 17 was one of the sidearms of the police in the first episode. One of the deputies was told by Grimes to have a round chambered and also (incorrectly) to make sure the safety was off.

Beretta 92FS

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) takes a Beretta 92FS (standing in for a U.S. Military-issue M9) from a dead soldier inside a tank, identifying it as a Beretta with 15 rounds. He fires it until dry then stores it in Glen's Backpack.

Andrea (Laurie Holden) carries a Smith & Wesson 3913 in the second episode. She later hands the pistol to Glen for his own protection.

Unidentified Snub-Nose Revolver

A stainless snub-nose revolver of unknown make/model is used by Morgan in the pilot episode. It has a 5-shot cylinder but is not of the S&W J-frame series. Most likely choices at present are a Taurus revolver (a stainless Taurus Model 85 or Model 617) or possibly even a Ruger SP101. More in the Discussion page.

Other Weapons

M67 Hand Grenade (M69 Training version)

Rick takes an M69 Hand Grenade (The inert training version of the live M67 grenade) from a tank and stores it in his pocket. It can be noted as an M69 not only by the inherent likelihood of it being so but also because it is seen in some shots with a bit of the blue paint showing through the overpainted OD green color.
