I was watching an episode of Kojak tonight, season 1 episode 20, Mojo, and there was a full screen close up of this and the grip intrigued me. I think it was a small caliber. Due to the date of the episode, it would have been produced at least before 1974. Anyone have a clue what it is?
What gun is this?

It was a very nice gun. It even has a lever that lets you re-set the trigger for dry fire practice.
This is how they were shipped, in a wood box...
Yeah, it looks nice. I'd love to shoot one.
It really stood out because basically every single person up until this episode always had a snubbie revolver of some sort. Recycling the same props over and over again I imagine. Then they showed that and in addition to them finally showing a semi-auto, it looked nice. Don't get too many close up shots like that.

I worked in a sporting goods store, mostly a gun store when I was a teen. Sold several Medalists and shot a few. At 25 yards you could hit a dime every time from a sandbag rest.

I knew it was a Browning the minute I saw that distinctive angle of the front sight.
Not good enough to recognize the gorgeous grips, or that quick.
I'd love to shoot one of those, gotta be a tack driver, Mom's old Browning Nomad was the first handgun I ever fired and a lot more accurate than I was at 12 years old.
I've never met a Browning I didn't like.
Wait, come to think of it I've never met any handgun I didn't like:blink:

Future reference... this link is awesome for figuring out "what gun that was" in any movie or show.
Main Page - imfdb :. guns in movies :. movie guns :. the internet movie firearms database
Just type the movie or show into the search box, and it should give you a list of firearms complete with pictures. It's pretty neat.
The Medalist is a fine target gun, not as loved or as many as the Smith Mod 41 or High Standards but it was / is a work of art. I have a 1970 that I have owned new since 1971. Trigger is adjustable for pull weight, over travel and take up. It even has a dry fire position so you do not need snap caps. I have never used tha addition weights, the balance is fine. I shoot my other .22's more because this gun is TOO PRETTY to bring to the dirt range (but I do at times). It's a piece of ART.
