A couple of fairly well-known ones:

Joe Friday [Jack Webb] with his Detective Special:

General and Chief of National Police Nguyen Ngoc *Larry* Loan, 01 February 1968 with his .38 S&W M49 *Bodyguard and Viet Cong assassination platoon leader Nguyễn Văn Lém:*

My old S&W M49 is showing its age. I've had it nearly 40 years now.

Detective Special was my issue weapon back in the day.
Loved that little guy and shot it better than issue 1911.
Now I stash a Model 36 and pine for a good price on a Colt.
