The use of the Beretta 92F series pistols is a prop masters preference unless the script calls for something special. The few shows done using a rural PD have used revolvers as in Jesse Stone series and In the Heat of the Night series. It's just a fact of art imitating life that Gang Bangers caught to day with weapons have a semi-auto although they are mostly cheap pistols like the Lorcen .380 they also weapons as nice as a custom 1911. The mix of revolvers to pistols is about 70% to 75% in favor of the pistol. It's all about image with gang members and using a revolver (Grandpa's Gun) does not help their image with other gang members.
