I love it when the crime scene people can tell the cartridge from the wound. "Looks he was shot with a nine!" Which usually turns out to be a Glock. I think they only come in "nine" and "foutay."
I was impressed with an episode from the first season of Blue Bloods starring Tom Selleck as Police Commissioner Frank Regean. A bad guy is attacking Selleck's daughter, the Assistant District Attorney. Frank arrives on the scene, draws his revolver (looks like a Fitzed Colt DS). He says "Get your hands off my daughter!" The guy, holding a knife to Erin's throat, turns toward Frank who promptly shoots him in the head. No discussion, no standoff, just the right damn thing to do. The guns on the show are interesting. I'd swear they took an H&K P7 off a bad guy. Lots of Glocks. Frank's son Danny is an NYPD detective. Some scenes it looks like he's using a Smith semi-auto and others it looks like maybe a Kahr .45? I don't watch much TV, but this is a pretty good series on NetFlix.
