I have to mention Jack Webb in the later color episodes of "Dragnet" vintage late 60's- early 70's. He carried the venerable 2" Model 10 round butt of LAPD issue. Or maybe Dan Akroyd same role in the movie "Dragnet" when he gives Tom Hanks (Det. Straibeck) a lesson on weaponry, namely his issue Model 10 4" heavy barrel .38 Special. Both are classics as are the guns.
