Old time TV guns

Not exactly TV.....but in the original Magnificent Seven the Robert Vaughan character pull out an SAA, enters a room and shoots 6 or 8 bad guys, and holsters what looks like a S&W DA; which one I couldn't make out.
 
The Avengers was made at Elstree Studios - the studio, which was in dire straits financially, like most of the British film industry at that time, only seems to have had a small number of guns as the same ones turn up again and again. A Beretta M1934 (they seem to have had two of these as there are occasionally two in the same shot) and a Colt Dick Special are the most common. A P38 often shows up, and occasionally a Polish Radom/Viz when they needed something extra. Patrick MacNee hated guns, and repeatedly said so, despite having worked in North America for most of his career and becoming a US citizen in the 1960s. His character frequently avoided using them.

Roger Moore wasn't very happy with them either. He always flinched while shooting them. Liam Neeson REALLY hates guns.

Starts at about a minute and a half into this clip.



You're right. Looks like a Smith hand ejector.
 
Remember when Sonny Crockett carried a Bren Ten on Miami Vice. People were jealous because he had magazines.
