Both revolvers are very clearly shown in several episodes, but one that comes to mind is the episode where Friday has Gannon and Gannon's wife over to his apartment for dinner and another resident of Friday's apartment building, a so-called "police buff," telephones Friday to let him know that there are two suspicious-looking guys in the laundry room breaking into the coin operated washers and dryers. No shots were fired, but both Friday and Gannon had their guns drawn, and there are plenty of close-ups.
