Someone with more knowledge of guns may educate me on this matter, but I'm
pretty sure Barney's pistol was a Smith & Wesson .38. It's likely he carried
the same prop gun in every episode, but I can't confirm this. In Cyrano Andy,
he promises to tell Thelma Lou how to care for a .38 caliber revol
A couple of days ago the topic of Barney's gun came up. I had incorrectly
thought it was a Smith & Wesson, but thanks to research by Tom "Zumafan," we
have the correct answer.

That's a good one Ken. The first one that comes to mind is BIG and from
season one--he's armed now. : )

Good answers on Barney getting his gun taken away. I have to beg to differ
with Paul on two of his answers. Barney took his gun out of his holster
and handed it to Otis when Otis was in jail so he could teach Otis the fast
draw, so Otis didn't take the gun away at all. Also I wasn't considering
Well, now, when it comes to Barney's handgun, commonly called a pistol, he
never loaded it unless Andy told him to or it was an emergency, so how could it
misfire pulling it out of his holster if the bullet was in his shirt pocket?
Just wondering!

During the time period that TAGS was filmed, almost all Law Enforcement
Officers in NC carried Smith & Weason 38 cal. revolvers.
One would not be hard to find .

Last night at the car show a gentleman came up to me and told me that I was
wearing my cartridge containers on my gun belt upside down. Now I am
wearing them just like good old Barney did. He said very few people
realize it but they should be worn so when you open it the bullets will
fall right in
Do any of you experts out there have an idea what kind of gun Barney
carried. i.e.; the brand or model number and maybe anything about his belt
and holster or where one could purchase a replica of something similar. I

A while back I posted about Barney's cartridge pouches on his gun belt
being upside down. I have to correct myself and say I was mistaken. While
watching "The Cow Thief" today there was an excellent shot of his belt. I
froze the picture and took a good look. He had them on so they would open

Barney's Gun Nicknames
Some of the nicknames that I remember Barney using for his gun were, "Ole
Roscoe", "The Blue Steel Baby", and "The Little Persuader". Of course, Andy
thought the best name for Barney's gun was &qu
That's a tough'n Ken. In fact I rate that a 3-bucket level. I'm stumped.
Obviously Andy did and Gentleman Dan and the escaped convict from season 1 (

I was watching the episode tonight with Opie's friend Trey and Barney
accidentally shot his gun. I was wondering if any of you researchers knew the
exact amount of times Andy took his gun. Thanks.
