I caught an old rerun. Everyone seemed to be carrying these strange sidearms. The grips looked to be covered with what looked to be some kind of wood, but the grips didn't seem thick enough to hold a clip, unless maybe they were chambered for .22lr. On top of that, it didn't look like there was nearly enough room to feed cartridges to the chamber. And that chamber was very oddly shaped; some sort of cylindrical-shaped affair. The barrel itself was also strange - round in cross section and quite thin.

My grandpa told me those were known as 'revolvers'. The round cylinder like thing revolves around bringing a new bullet in line with the barrel. It could fire 5, maybe six bullets. I know, weird!

God I loved that show... remember watching the pilot... It was off the charts in what was 'proper' for a typical TV show at that time... when I saw it, I figured immediately it would be a smash hit...or that would be the one and only time it was ever shown on TV.... I admit to have a Joyce Davenport thing going on in the early 80s...Veronica Hamel was HoT!! in those days... ![[Linked Image]](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/9e/e6/cf/9ee6cf184dadb878933d22179ff65364.jpg)

My all time favorite cop show, came closer than anything else to the real cop life I knew, Of course Veronica Hammel sure helped with the scenery.
Based on Chicago PD of the day and filmed there.

I was already traveling the back side of thirty when that show started. Many years of revolver carry, hunting and shooting by then.
Great show.

Well, I came up in the loaded six shot revolver and 12 extra rounds as load out plus a nightstick and Mace, leave the car, leave the radio.
Never felt under armed but went with a 9 shot Colt Commander .38 Super with two spare mags when we were allowed to switch.
Wild west days compared to today's environment.

My all time favorite cop show! I think that I watched every episode. I always liked Lt. Howard Hunter's line "genetically disenfranchised third world degenerates" still use it at times...

Based on Chicago PD of the day and filmed there. You are mostly correct. It was filmed with scenes from quite a few places, including here in columbus ohio. The court house shown is in philly, and it was based on Chicago. They go to great pains NOT to name it, but the street addresses given don't lie. (They even hid most of the call letters from radio and tv station to hide the location.)
