Monk

Monk (2002-2009)

Monk was a USA Network original series that aired for 8 seasons from 2002-2009 and starred Tony Shalhoub as a police consultant for the SFPD who helps solve cases while dealing with his obsessive compulsive disorder.

The following weapons were seen in the television series Monk:

Pistols

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS is seen used by various characters in the series including police consultant Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), and Lt. Randy Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford). The Beretta is Randy's sidearm throughout the first half of the series, before he swaps to using a Glock 17 sometime prior to the seventh season.

In the pilot episode, "Mr. Monk and the Candidate" (S01E02), Monk grazes a suspect with a blind shot in the dark using a Beretta 92FS, borrowed from Disher.

In Season 2's "Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife" (S02E14), bank robber Evan Coker (Daniel Goddard) uses a hunting rifle to stop a tow truck repossessing his car, which still contains his 9mm Beretta in the glovebox.

In Season 3's "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" (S03E09), "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever," (S03E12), Stottlemeyer carries a Beretta 92FS instead of his usual Smith & Wesson 3913. In "Cabin Fever," both he and Disher use Berettas during the shootout with two Chinese hitmen.

In the series finale "Mr. Monk and the End, Part II" (S08E16), Monk also holds a Beretta on Judge Rickover (Craig T. Nelson).

In the pilot episode, "Mr. Monk and the Candidate" (S01E02), Monk grazes Ian Sykes with a blind shot in the dark using a Beretta 92FS, borrowed from Disher.

On the right, Disher points his Beretta at ex-convict Chris Downey (Mark Sheppard) while forcing him out of his truck. Episode "Mr. Monk vs. the Cobra" (S03E11).

In Season 3's "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever," (S03E12) Stottlemeyer carries a Beretta 92FS instead of his usual Smith & Wesson 3913.

Disher points his gun at wanted fugitive Miguel Escobar (Carlos Gomez), who is holding a woman hostage. Episode "Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty," S04E16.

Sgt. Danny Weaver (Jack McGee) fires a Beretta on the indoor shooting range in Season 8's "Mr. Monk and the Badge".

In the series finale "Mr. Monk and the End, Part II" (S08E16), Monk also holds a Beretta on Judge Ethan Rickover (Craig T. Nelson).

"Lane & Westen" (Fictional name for Beretta)

Probably because of legal objections that came after the episode "Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man," subsequent Beretta pistols which appeared in the series were given the fictional name "Lane & Westen." Even with the alternative name, they are clearly Beretta pistols, and in "Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife," Evan Coker's handgun is explicitly referred to by Disher as a Beretta.

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 (Beretta) doesn't make a 9mm pistol, but Ambrose counters that they did until 1992 (and he wrote the manual for it). 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. In "Mr. Monk Is On the Run," John Rollins (Scott Glenn) frames Monk for murder by shooting Frank Nunn 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. Sometimes, it appears to be a Beretta 92FS.

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 prison guard Daniel Reese (Titus Welliver) opens fire on them.

Pat van Ranken (Holt McCallany) shoots his wife during a fight. The scene plays in slo-mo, allowing you to see the shell-casings being ejected. ("Mr. Monk and the Three Pies," Episode 2.11)

Monk removes his "Lane & Westen" from the lockbox in his bedroom. (Episode 6.15, "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part I). Here the handgun is a Beretta 92SB.

Seen in flashback, Sheriff Rollins (Scott Glenn) disassembles Monk's "Lane & Westen", replacing the barrel with the one from his own identical weapon. (Episode 6.15, "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part I). Here, the handgun is a Beretta 92FS. In reality, it would be impossible to frame a person for murder in this way, because even if the barrels were interchangeable, the firing pin from Rollins's gun would have left a different indentation on the shell casing than one left by Monk's.

Rollins aims his own "Lane & Westen" at Monk. (Episode 6.16, "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part II).

Jack Monk, Jr. (Steve Zahn) returns fire at Daniel Reese (Titus Welliver) with Monk's own gun. (Episode 7.10, "Mr. Monk's Other Brother).

Monk: "That's my gun!"
Jack, Jr.: "What...? Oh, yeah! No, I borrowed it - and be glad I did!" Jack pauses during the firefight with Reese. Natalie in the foreground is obviously unaccustomed to being caught in the middle of a shootout. (Episode 7.10, "Mr. Monk's Other Brother").

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." Karen, who happens to be pacifist, naturally recoils.

Beretta 92FS Centurion - 9x19mm

Randy shows Karen his Beretta 92FS Centurion sidearm. He's forgotten that Karen also happens to be against firearms (and is under the impression that Leland doesn't even use his gun).

Beretta 950 Jetfire

A Beretta 950 Jetfire is used by coin dealer Jacob Posner (J.P. Manoux) in "Mr. Monk Is Up All Night" (S06E09) to kill one of the con men who ripped him off.

Beretta 950 Jetfire. Note solid trigger, circle mark in the center of the grips, missing trigger bar and different trigger guard shape.

A shot of Posner's Beretta 950 Jetfire in his desk drawer during the flashback.

Colt 1908 Vest Pocket

In Season 4's "Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty" (S04E16), Miguel Escobar's girlfriend (Emmanuelle Vaugier) hides what appears to be a Colt 1908 Pocket in her coffee mug and uses it to threaten Monk and the other jurors.

Colt 1908 Vest Pocket - .25 ACP.

The drug dealer's girlfriend (Emmanuelle Vaugier) removes the Colt 1908 Pocket from her coffee mug.

A shot of the Colt being held on one of the jurors.

The girlfriend steps out of hiding and shoots the two federal agents escorting Escobar. The agents survive because they are both wearing Kevlar vests.

A close-up shot of the gun from the same scene.

Colt Double Eagle

A Colt Double Eagle is seen in the hands of the leader of a gang to threaten Karl Torini (Steve Valentine) in Season 7's "Mr. Monk and the Magician" (S07E15) after Torini makes the ringleader's watch disappear.

In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Dentist," (S04E15) Denny Jardeen (Steve Heinze) shoots an armored car driver with what appears to be a Double Eagle pistol.

John Keyes (Marcus Giamatti) uses this type of pistol in "Mr. Monk and the Lady Next Door" to rob a jewelry store, but when the store manager recognizes him, Keyes is forced to shoot and kill him.

Colt Double Eagle .45 ACP

A gang leader holds a Colt Double Eagle on Karl Torini (Steve Valentine) and threatens to shoot Torini if he doesn't return his watch (Episode S07E15, "Mr. Monk and the Magician").

Denny Jardeen (Steve Heinze) points a Double Eagle during an armored car hijacking ("Mr. Monk Goes to the Dentist," S04E15).

John Keyes (Marcus Giamatti) holds a Colt Double Eagle while he robs a jewelry store ("Mr. Monk and the Lady Next Door," SE7E12).

When the store manager recognizes Keyes (despite the fact that Keyes is wearing a ski mask), Keyes takes off his mask, admitting that he doesn't feel comfortable wearing it. Unfortunately, this means he will have to kill the manager.

Ruger KP89

Tony Gamelobo (Kirk Diedrich) holds a Ruger KP89 during Monk's summation of the bank robbery in "Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure". The appearance of the barrel and trigger guard makes it possible to identify.

Ruger KP89 - 9x19mm.

Tony Gamelobo (Kirk Diedrich) holds a Ruger during Monk's summation of the bank robbery. The appearance of the barrel and trigger guard and its stainless steel slide differ it from the Ruger P89. ("Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure," S06E06).

Colt Single Action Army

In Season 8's "Happy Birthday, Mr. Monk" (S08E09), Cowboy Hank (Jack Betts) carries dual Colt Single Action Army revolvers firing blanks.

Colt Single Action Army "Quick Draw" model.

A flashback of the younger Cowboy Hank with a Colt Single Action Army revolver.

Glock 17

In Season 2's "Mr. Monk Goes to the Ballgame" (S02E03), Walker Browning (Rainn Wilson) appears to use a Glock 17.

In Season 3's "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever" (S03E12), FBI Special Agent Grooms (Josh Stamberg) shoots a Chinese assassin with a Glock pistol (exact model unknown), possibly a Glock 22 since that is the standard issue sidearm of FBI agents.

In Season 4's "Mr. Monk Goes Home Again" (S04E02), Paul Gilstrap (David Weisenberg) shoots an armored car driver with his own Glock 17 in an attempt to cover up the fact that the driver had eaten a poisoned candy bar, which would have been evidence of an aborted serial killer scheme that Gilstrap would have concocted.

In Season 4's "Mr. Monk and the Secret Santa" (S04E09), criminal Frank Prager (Gill Gayle) fires five rounds at Captain Stottlemeyer with a Glock 17, leaving an "M" on the side of a wall to remind Stottlemeyer about his brother Michael.

In Season 6's "Mr. Monk Is Up All Night" (S06E09), a fake drug dealer "kills" an "undercover cop" with what appears to be a Glock pistol to con Jacob Posner (J.P. Manoux), but it is difficult to identify, since the scene where it appears is observed entirely through a window that Monk is peeking through.

Agent Grooms (Josh Stamberg) pops up behind a Chinese hit man and shoots him. Episode S03E12, "Mr. Monk Gets Cabin Fever."

After shooting the armored car driver on the left, Paul Gilstrap quickly wipes the prints off with his shirttail, drops the driver's Glock 17 on the ground, and runs away. Episode S04E02, "Mr. Monk Goes Home Again."

A shot from a flashback of the scene above, as Gilstrap pulls the gun out of the holster. Episode S04E02, "Mr. Monk Goes Home Again."

During the later seasons, especially seasons 7 and 8, Randy utilizes a third generation Glock 17 as his sidearm.

A Generation 3 Glock 17 9x19mm. Note the finger grooves, thumb reliefs, and accessory rail on the frame, which differentiate it from the older model.

Bursting in on the first class box where the Iceman is trying to shoot, Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford) draws his Glock 17 and Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) his S&W, respectively (Episode 7.04, "Mr. Monk Takes A Punch").

Believing that this egg-eating robot has become sentient, Randy draws his Glock and fires at it. The bullets only ricochet off the metal. Note that his gun has clearly sustained what is called a stovepipe jam. (Episode 7.12, "Mr. Monk and the Lady Next Door").

Kahr K9

In the Season 8 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.

Stephanie Briggs (Teri Polo) reveals her Kahr K9 to Martin Kettering and then shoots him.

SIG-Sauer P239

In "Mr. Monk Buys a House" (S07E01), money-seeking handyman "Honest" Jake Phillips (Brad Garrett) takes Monk and Natalie hostage with a SIG-Sauer P239. After subduing them, he then shoots and kills his Hispanic partner "Honest" Ramone (Ivo Nandi) using it.

SIG-Sauer P239 - 9x19mm.

"Mr. Monk, I've got a confession to make: they really don't call me 'Honest' Jake." Jake Phillips (Brad Garrett) uses a SIG-Sauer P239 to demonstrate to Monk and Natalie the accuracy of his nickname.

"And on second thought, I'm gonna retire." Jake prepares to shoot his hostages. Monk and Natalie had previously managed to incapacitate Jake by pushing a wall down on him, which is why his face is bloodied here.

SIG-Sauer P226

In the season 5 episode "Mr. Monk Is At Your Service" (S05E12), Paul Buchanan (Sean Astin) shoots and kills his butler with a SIG-Sauer P226 after figuring out who has been blackmailing him for months.

In the Season 6 episode "Mr. Monk and the Birds and the Bees" (S06E05), sports agent Rob Sherman (Vincent Ventresca) shoots career burglar Dewey Jordan with his own 9mm pistol, and, when his wife comes running down to investigate, shoots her dead with a .38-caliber revolver, which he then places in the dead Dewey's hand, to frame him for the murder. When reconstructing the scenario for Monk, Disher describes the pistol as a Glock, but during the scene, Sherman is actually holding what appears to be a SIG-Sauer P226 Non Gun.

Rob Sherman (Vincent Ventresca) holds two pistols in his hand, reminding himself which one is supposed to belong to the "burglar" who "shot" his wife. The right one is Dewey's gun. The left one is the one he is going to use to kill the intruder. (Both guns appear to be Non Guns).

SIG-Sauer P228

In Season 5's "Mr. Monk and the Really, Really Dead Guy", FBI Special Agent Thorpe (Chris Williams) carries a SIG-Sauer P228 as his sidearm.

Undercover FBI agents and SFPD officers tackle a man they suspect to be a "serial killer" targeting street musicians.

Smith & Wesson 3913

Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) carries a Smith & Wesson 3913 as his primary weapon. Comically, in "Mr. Monk and the Very, Very Old Man" (S02E05), he has to hide it in a drawer whenever his wife comes around, since she is a pacifist and he is giving her the impression that he goes unarmed.

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), a blind Monk grabs Stottlemeyer's gun and uses it to shoot Peter Breen, advancing on them with a knife.

Smith & Wesson 3913 - 9mm

Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) draws his Smith & Wesson 3913 from a back holster after a suspect escapes custody. (Episode 6.13, "Mr. Monk and the Three Julies").

File:MonkRun20.JPG

"Monk, please drop the gun!" Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) aims his Smith & Wesson 3913 when Monk draws a bead on him. (Episode 6.15, "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part 1").

File:MonkRun17.JPG

Stottlemeyer fires his Smith & Wesson 3913, "hitting" Monk twice in the chest (Monk survives because he's wearing a bulletproof vest). He has a good aim and noticeably doesn't blink at the same moment that you see the muzzle flash.

"What have I done?" (Episode 6.15, "Mr. Monk Is On The Run, Part 1").

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 6906 to "defend herself".

This also appears to be the weapon utilized by Mandy Bronson (Sarah Brown) in "Mr. Monk and the Leper" (S05E10) to kill her accomplice and later when she opens fire on Monk and Natalie as they try to escape in a hot air balloon.

Smith & Wesson 6906 - 9mm

Springfield 1911 Loaded

In the Season 3 episode "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine," (S03E09) Lester Highsmith (Ken Marino) uses what appears to be a Springfield 1911 Loaded to open fire on police officers.

Kimber Custom TLE II - .45 ACP. This version has no rails and is the version used in the Television show The Unit.

Lester Highsmith (Ken Marino) aims out the passenger's side window of his Toyota Corolla at the cops on the other side of the intersection.

As Lester pulls the gun out of the glovebox, we get this nice closeup of the slide serations vs Kimber in above picture. You can also just make out the Springfield logo on the slide.

Walther P38

In the episode "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" (S03E09) Monk uses a water pistol modeled on a Walther P38 in an attempt to bluff Lester Highsmith (Ken Marino) at an industrial park, only, to his embarrassment, to let the barrel drip, revealing its true nature. Monk's water pistol, noticeably, lacks several safety features that are necessary on water pistols to tell them apart from regular pistols (to avoid the risk of child injuries).

In the episode "Mr. Monk is Underwater" (S07E05) Monk borrows a sidearm from Steven Albright (Casper Van Dien) to test whether a plastic bottle found at a crime scene could be utilized as a silencer, screwed on with surgical tape. The gun Albright hands to Monk is a Walther P38, despite the fact that the Beretta 92FS is the normal 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. In the flashback summation at the end of the episode, Commander Whitaker (William Atherton) is seen using a Walther P38 equipped with an improvised suppressor made from a cream soda bottle screwed on to the barrel and tightened with surgical tape.

Walther P38.

"No.... maybe." Monk holds a jet black Walther P38 water pistol on Lester Highsmith (Ken Marino), but is embarrassed when the barrel starts dripping. Notice that the water pistol is jet black and lacks the bright orange cap on the tip of the barrel that is necessitated by child-safety laws in order to tell water pistols and toy guns apart from real firearms. (Episode "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine" (S03E09)).

To perform an experiment, Monk fits a bottle onto the barrel of Albright's unloaded Walther P38, and then tightens it with surgical tape. The U.S. Navy actually uses Berettas as their choice of sidearms; the Walther seen here was probably used because of the thin barrel. (Episode "Mr. Monk is Underwater" (S07E05)).

Here's a better view of the finished product.

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 3 premiere "Mr. Monk Takes Manhattan" (S03E01), Steven Leight (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) shoots and kills his wife in Central Park with what appears to be a "Non Gun" version of the Walther PPK, then kills the Latvian ambassador and his bodyguards later on with the same weapon. Incongruously, the bullets recovered from the crime scene are described as .22 caliber, when the Walther PPK is chambered in .32 caliber and .38 ACP.

In the Season 6 premiere "Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan" (S06E01), John Ringel (John Mese) takes Monk and Marci Maven (Sarah Silverman) hostage with a Walther PPK. He later uses it during a shootout with Stottlemeyer and Disher.

In Season 7's "Mr. Monk on Wheels," (S07E11) criminal John Kuramoto (Alain Uy) shoots Monk in his left leg with a Walther PPK/S. Later in the episode, Sarah Longson (Pamela Adlon), his employer, turns on him and uses the same gun to kill him. The first good look at the gun comes at the end when Natalie (Traylor Howard) chases Sarah out of a bioengineering lab, and she pulls the gun out of her purse. After a struggle for the gun, it is knocked away and Natalie is able to grab it. She appears to be very inexperienced with firearms, as she unintentionally discharges a bullet into Monk's right leg when she turns around. This completely contradicts the fact that in "Mr. Monk and the Three Julies" (S06E13) dialogue hinted that Natalie had experienced marksmanship.

In Season 8's "Mr. Monk Is Someone Else," (S08E04) while masquerading as contract killer Frank DePalma, Monk straps what looks like a Walther PPK to an ankle holster as a backup gun (and then conceals it with his pant leg), though only to fit in with the character.

Rita Bronwyn (Polly Draper) with her Walther PPK/S drawn just before she and Monk search a hotel room. (Episode 1.10, "Mr. Monk Takes A Vacation").

Natalie takes cover as John Ringel (John Mese) fires at Stottlemeyer and Disher with a Walther PPK/S. (Episode 6.01, "Mr. Monk and His Biggest Fan").

Sarah Longson (Pamela Adlon) pulls the Walther she used on John Kuramoto from her purse, as Natalie chases her. (Episode 7.11, "Mr. Monk On Wheels").

A few moments later, as Monk hops towards them in the background, Natalie (Traylor Howard) manages to grab the Walther PPK/S and trains it on Sarah, forcing her to freeze. (Episode 7.11, "Mr. Monk On Wheels").

Steven Leight (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) shoots and kills his wife with a Non Gun version of the Walther PPK. Episode 3.01, "Mr. Monk Takes Manhattan".

Vektor CP1

During a shootout with the police in Season 5's "Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink" (S05E07), drug dealer Francis Merrigan (Gordon Clapp) shoots at Dr. Kroger (Stanley Kamel) with a Vektor CP1 handgun, but Harold Krenshaw (Tim Bagley) sees this and intercepts the bullet in the chest. Prior to this, Harold tries to sneak around Merrigan and his accomplice to get to Monk and Dr. Kroger and even picks up a spare Vektor (causing Monk and Dr. Kroger to gesture for him to shoot Merrigan), but he gives his position away when he makes a noise while reorganizing figurines on the shelf. In Season 6's "Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure" (S06E06), "Happy" Jack Connolly pistol-whips his brother with what appears to be a two-tone Vektor CP1 during a flashback.

Francis Merrigan (Gordon Clapp) fires at Dr. Kroger with a Vektor CP1. Episode S05E07, "Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink".

Having tracked Monk and Dr. Kroger down, Harold Krenshaw (Tim Bagley) holds a spare Vektor while sneaking around Merrigan and his accomplice, but unwittingly gives his position away while reorganizing these figurines on the shelves. "Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink," S05E07.

Vektor CP1 9x19mm

"Happy" Jack Connolly pistol-whips his brother after forcing him to open the bank's safe at gunpoint. That appears to be a two-tone Vektor CP1 in his hand. This is revealed to have been done to make it look authentic. (Episode 6.06, "Mr. Monk and the Buried Treasure.")

Revolvers

Ruger Blackhawk

In "Mr. Monk Goes to the Circus" (S02E04), Natasia Lovara (Lolita Davidovich; stunt double Shauna Diggins) kills her ex-husband with a single shot from a revolver described as a "Ruger Casull" in .454 caliber from 30 feet away. The resulting slug actually goes right through the victim and lodges itself in a planter box behind him. The weapon the ninja holds appears to be a Ruger Blackhawk revolver, however, the Blackhawk does not come in a model that chambers the .454 Casull cartridge, as the Ruger Super Redhawk does.

Natasia aims her revolver at Sergi and then fires, killing him.

Smith & Wesson Model 10

In the Season Five premiere, "Mr. Monk and the Actor" (S05E01), Jack Leverett (Greg Grunberg) uses a bright, nickel-plated snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a square butt and pearl grips, to shoot pawn shop owner Lexus Orlov. It is referenced by Lt. Disher as a "Smith & Wesson 38 with a pearl handle".

Jack Leverett (Greg Grunberg) looks at the Smith & Wesson Model 10 in his hand.

Smith & Wesson Model 19

David Ruskin (Stanley Tucci), an actor who has immersed himself in playing Monk in a role, pulls a S&W Model 19 on Leverett during a standoff in Season 5's "Mr. Monk and the Actor".

Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat Magnum - .357 magnum

No that's not Monk here, but rather David Ruskin (Stanley Tucci) wearing a wig and dressed similarly to Monk, pulling a S&W Model 19 on Jack Leverett inside his showroom during a standoff in Season 5's "Mr. Monk and the Actor." Coincidentally, Tucci was one of the three final choices (along with Tony Shalhoub and Alfred Molina) for the part of Monk.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

In the season 6 episode "Mr. Monk and the Daredevil," Joey Krenshaw (David Koechner) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 36 to force his cousin Harold to the edge of a hospital roof at gunpoint, but drops it when Natalie attacks him with a metal pipe. As Monk and Natalie try to subdue Joey, the gun gets kicked away.

In the Season 6 episode "Mr. Monk and the Man Who Shot Santa Claus" (S06E10), Monk picks up a pearl-handled Smith & Wesson Model 36 dropped by a suspect and uses it to shoot the criminal dressed as Santa Claus.

Smith & Wesson Model 66

In "Mr. Monk and the Other Detective," (S04E01) Vic Blanchard (Rossif Sutherland) uses what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver to shoot and kill a security guard who has stumbled in on the robbery that Blanchard and his partner Eddie Dial (Reynaldo Gallegos) are committing, and whom has drawn a Glock 17 on them. After killing the guard, Blanchard shoots the store manager they were blackmailing to eliminate witnesses.

2.5" barreled Smith & Wesson Model 66

"Happy Halloween, man. Just relax." Vic Blanchard (Rossif Sutherland) shoots and kills a security guard with three shots to the chest at long range. Episode "Mr. Monk and the Detective," S04E01.

"I'm not done." After shooting the security guard, Blanchard shoots and kills Harold Gumbal, the store manager that he and his partner Eddie Dial have just blackmailed into robbing his own store (by threatening to kill his pet dog) to eliminate their witness.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is used by SFPD SWAT team members, fitted with Navy trigger groups, Surefire dedicated forend weaponlights, and an unknown scope. The SWAT teams appear in several episodes, including "Mr. Monk and the Candidate, Part II" (S01E02) and Season Three's "Mr. Monk and the Kid" (S03E16). In "Mr. Monk's 100th Case" (S07E07), the H&K MP5A3 is seen being utilized by SWAT officers during a raid on a photography studio and later on a motel room.

In the Season Three episode "Mr. Monk and the Election" (S03E15) illegal arms dealer Jack Whitman (Nick Offerman) tries to disrupt Natalie's campaign headquarters by shooting up the office with a Norinco Type 56-1. From Monk's statement, Stottlemeyer determines that they are looking for a rapidfire semiautomatic. It is later revealed that he was actually trying to shoot out a copier machine with an incriminating document containing his client's names and the weapons being sold to them.

The AKM is also seen in the hands of an East Asian drug cartel member in the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk and the Magician" (S07E15).

The AKM is seen in the hands of an East Asian drug cartel member in Season 7's "Mr. Monk and the Magician" (S07E15).

Ruger Model 77

In Season 3's "Mr. Monk and the Employee of the Month" (S03E07), Monk grabs a Ruger Model 77 (identifiable from the paddle stock, and the built-in strap ring on the forestock, both of which are visible for a second) from the sporting goods section of the "Mega-Mart" and tosses it to his ex-partner, Joe Christie (Enrico Colantoni), who uses it to shoot out the tire of a bank robber gang's getaway van. In Season 7's "Mr. Monk Takes A Punch" (S07E04), professional killer Charles Bach, or "The Iceman" (Jon Sklaroff) prepares a takedown and probably customized version of this rifle equipped with a bipod in his attempt to assassinate boxer Ray Regis (James Lesure) during a title bout. The inserts on the pistol grip section of the stock are the same as the Ruger M77 "paddlestock." Then again, it is not hard to consider that the Iceman might have custom built this rifle so that it wouldn't be traceable.

In Season 3's "Mr. Monk and the Employee of the Month" (S03E07), Morris (Michael Weston) holds the Ruger rifle.

A desperate Monk grabs a Ruger Model 77 from the dimwitted Ronnie and Moris at Mega-Mart. Although the rifle is unloaded, Monk successfully uses it to force the employees into giving him the ammunition.

Joe Christie (Enrico Colantoni) jumps onto a car roof, aims the Ruger, and manages to shoot one of the tires on the fleeing van.

Remington 700PSS

SFPD SWAT snipers are seen using the Remington 700PSS sniper rifle, notably in Season 6, during "Mr. Monk on the Run, Part 1".

Ruger Mini-14

In the Season Seven episode "Mr. Monk's Other Brother" (S07E10) prison guard Daniel Reese (Titus Welliver) fires a semi-automatic Ruger Mini-14 from his rooftop at Adrian, Natalie and Jack Monk, Jr. (Steve Zahn), who returns fire with Monk's own "borrowed" pistol. During Jack's staged escape seen in flashback, Reese opens fire on Jack from the guard tower with what appears to be the same semiautomatic rifle. For a prison guard, he has very bad marksmanship because we see scenes of him firing on but missing targets twice during the episode.

Blued Ruger Mini-14 Standard Model Semiautomatic Rifle (Pre-2005) with 30 round magazine - 5.56x45mm

Reese (Titus Welliver) opens fire on Monk, Natalie, and Jack, Jr. Note how the squibs on the pavement are going off far below the trajectory of the barrel. Based on the aim, the squibs should be going off closer to Natalie's feet. (Episode 7.10, "Mr. Monk's Other Brother).

Reese raises his Ruger as he closes in for the kill. Adrian and Natalie are hidden behind this log pile. (Episode 7.10, "Mr. Monk's Other Brother).

Reese looks up from the sights of his rifle after failing to hit the escaping Jack Monk, Jr. (Steve Zahn) (Episode 7.10, "Mr. Monk's Other Brother).

Weatherby Mark V Fibermark

In the pilot episode, "Mr. Monk and the Candidate" (S01E01-02) hit man Ian Sykes (Shawn Reis) uses a bolt-action rifle identified later in the episode as a "Weatherby Mark V Fibermark" as his weapon of choice. It is incorrectly described as a British-made rifle, when in reality the Mark V line is American-made. Monk describes it as a hunting rifle that is popular with mercenaries and paramilitary groups for use as a sniper rifle.

Winchester Model 70

In the Season 2's "Mr. Monk and the Captain's Wife" (S02E14), Evan Coker (Daniel Goddard) guns down a tow truck driver with a single shot to the head from a long range position with Winchester Model 70 rifle, which is described by Disher as a "Winchester bolt-action rifle" in 30-.06 caliber.

Shotguns

Mossberg 500

The Mossberg 500 shotgun fitted with a Surefire tactical light is often seen carried by SFPD SWAT officers.

Mossberg 500 - 12 gauge

A SWAT officer holds a Mossberg 500 fitted with a tactical light and ghost ring sights when kicking in the door of Douglas Thurman's motel room, only to find that he has shot himself (Episode 7.07, "Mr. Monk's 100th Case").

12 Gauge Over/Under Double Barreled Shotgun

In Season 5's "Mr. Monk Is At Your Service" (S05E12), Paul Buchanan (Sean Astin) tries to kill Natalie with an over/under 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun, though is distracted when Monk shows up with an identical shotgun taken from one of Paul's hunting friends, and Monk shoots down a quail with a single shot. Natalie then grabs the gun from Buchanan and she and Monk train both shotguns on Buchanan.

An unknown 12 Gauge shotgun is utilized as one of Bennie Wentworth's (Tom Bower) booby traps in "Mr. Monk Paints His Masterpiece" (S06E14).

Monk and Natalie train their over/under shotguns on Paul Buchanan. Notice that Natalie has stuffed a pillow down the front of her shirt, pretending to be pregnant in an attempt to ward off Paul's advances. This cover is because when this episode was filmed in 2006, Traylor Howard was pregnant, so various hides and pretexts were necessary during the latter half of the season to conceal her stomach. ("Mr. Monk Is At Your Service," S05E12).

Remington 870 Field Gun

In Season 6's "Mr. Monk and the Bad Girlfriend" (S6E04), the shotgun that Linda Fusco (Sharon Lawrence) uses when she shoots and kills Sean Corcoran, (Mark Sivertsen) her real estate partner, appears to be a Remington 870 Field Gun. Later, when Monk and Natalie interview Linda at her office about the murder, Monk notices a photo of a younger Linda standing by her grandfather, apparently carrying the same kind of shotgun, which is what causes him to suspect Linda of the killing.

Remington 870 Shotgun with 28" barrel - 12 gauge.

Linda, careful to conceal her facial identity, steps out of her hiding place in the bathroom and delivers Sean Corcoran (Mark Sivertsen) a single blast to the chest.

As can be seen here, the blast is so strong that the victim is sent flying backwards across the next room and crushes a table.

Other

Starter Pistol

Monk's assistant Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram) uses a starter pistol in "Mr. Monk and the Candidate, Part II" (S01E02) to test a suspect's claim that he located a sniper by the sound of his shot.

Sharona (Bitty Schram) fires a starter pistol (Episode 01.02, "Mr. Monk and the Candidate, Part II").

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's window. In a rather comical scene, Monk slo-mo runs and tosses the grenade into the refrigerator... but then reopens 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. The plausibility of this scene was later tested and declared busted on an episode of MythBusters.
