we are never told what kind of gun anyone used on the show but most likely it was a .38 caliber whch was carried by many police departments at that time.
Barney Fife's "Baby" was Colt Police Positive, 4 inch barrel in .38 special caliber.
It was actually a Colt Official Police... which was a slightly larger model than the Police Positive.
