Firearms in Miami Vice

Sonny Crockett (played by Don Johnson) was to have used a SIG Sauer P220,[1][3] but this was replaced by the then more modern Bren Ten.

[4] Another example of a iconic firearm is Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs' sawed-off double-barred shotgun which is prominent in Rockstar Games's landmark video-game GTA Vice City as the inspiration for the Stubby Gun.

[1] During the first season, he used a Bren Ten pistol carried in a Ted Blocker Lifeline shoulder holster rig.

[4] The Bren Ten, manufactured by Dornaus & Dixon, was a stainless steel handgun notable as the first ever chambered in the powerful 10mm Auto caliber.

In the Galco Gunleather headquarters, there is a large display that contains the Miami Vice shoulder holster rig that Don Johnson wore, accompanied by an autographed photo of him.

[7] Sonny also carried a .45 ACP Detonics Combat-Master backup gun in an ankle holster on his left leg, replacing the Pocket 9 from the pilot episode.

[8] In the last series episode "Freefall" Crockett is placing what looks to be a S&W CS45 (compact alloy framed .45 ACP) in his ankle holster.

For additional firepower when arresting heavily armed drug dealers, other weapons were occasionally used, including the Steyr AUG,[5] M16 assault rifles,[1] H&K MP5 submachine guns, and the Street-Sweeper shotgun.
