Sledge Hammer! (1986-1988)

Sledge Hammer! was a television parady of the Dirty Harry series that starred David Rasche as Inspector Sledge Hammer, a tough no-nonsense cop whose tagline was "Trust me, I know what I'm doing!" The aired for two seasons on ABC from 1986-1988.


The following guns were used in the television series Sledge Hammer! (1986):


Handguns

Smith & Wesson Model 629

Inspector Sledge Hammer (David Rasche) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 629 as his sidearm. The revolver is arguably the star of the show, as it gets the vast majority of the screen time during the opening credits. The plastic grips have the image of a sledge hammer on each side. Hammer talks to it sometimes, but when people catch him doing it, he always denies it. He also sleeps next to it and showers with it.
