The Desert Eagle Mark I is a frequent weapon of McCall's throughout the series.

==Detonics CombatMaster==
In "Desperately" (S1E11), Geoffery Dryden (Ray Sharkey) is seen carrying what appears to be a stainless Detonics CombatMaster in an ankle holster. He is seen using the pistol mainly with a suppressor.

==Taurus PT92==
In "Out of the Past" (S1E14), a Taurus PT92 is seen being handled by Walter Wesley (Barry Primus), who says, "this thing, no matter whether I know how to use it or not, makes me less scared". This pistol has the curved trigger guard and has no safety selector on the frame. Because this episode was filmed in the early 1980s, this is likely one of the earliest appearances of this pistol in a feature film or television series.
