'''''Criminal Minds''''' is a US crime procedural series that focuses on an elite team of profilers who work out of the Behavior Analysis Unit of the FBI. In each episode, these agents of the BAU try to decipher the behavior of the criminal (who is commonly referred to in the series as an "Unsub" or "Unknown Subject") rather than strictly solving the crime. The series premiered in 2005 in the US on CBS. ''Criminal Minds'' would spawn two spinoffs:  ''[[Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior]]'', which starred [[Forest Whitaker]], and aired for one season in 2011, and ''[[Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders]]'', which starred [[Gary Sinise]], and premiered in March of 2016 and aired for two seasons until 2017. The show was renewed for its [[Criminal Minds - Season 15|fifteenth and final season]] (a shortened season consisting of only 10 episodes), which premiered in the US in January of 2020 and aired until February of 2020.
  
==Glock 17==
+
'''The following lists the seasons of the series ''Criminal Minds'':'''
Third-Generation [[Glock 17]] pistols were for a long time the predominant weapon carried by almost all of the show's main male characters. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Derek Morgan ([[Shemar Moore]]) carried his Glock 17 with a Streamlight TLR-2 weaponlight/laser module throughout most of his time on the show. B.A.U. (Behavior Analysis Unit) Chief SSA Aaron Hotchner ([[Thomas Gibson]]) and Dr. Spencer Reid ([[Matthew Gray Gubler]]) were also both frequently seen with standard Glock 17's. Of these three individuals, only Hotchner continues to carry a Glock 17. Jason Gideon ([[Mandy Patinkin]]) used a [[Glock 17]] in the pilot episode. Afterward, Gideon uses a [[SIG-Sauer P226]], while Reid later exchanged his own Glock for a .357 [[Smith & Wesson Model 65]] revolver. Sometime at the beginning of Season 6, Morgan started to carry a SIG-Sauer P226R (fitted with a TLR-1 Streamlight attachment) as his sidearm. At the end of the Season 2 Episode "The Big Game", 'Tobias' ([[James Van Der Beek]]) knocks down Reid and briefly threatens him with his Glock 17. Other FBI agents and some police officers are seen with Glock 17 pistols.

==Glock 19==

<gallery>
SSA Emily Prentiss ([[Paget Brewster]]) uses a Third-Generation [[Glock 19]] as her sidearm. Her predecessor, SSA Elle Greenaway ([[Lola Glaudini]]) also used the [[Glock 19]] throughout Season 1 and her episodes in Season 2. Another Glock 19 is used by a police detective to fire a few shots at a fleeing criminal, although he misses and the criminal commits suicide by driving off a cliff. Also carried by NYPD officers.

File:CMS9.jpg|<div align="center">[[Criminal Minds - Season 9|Season 9]]<br>(2013-2014)</div>
The [[Glock 26]] is the backup weapon carried by both Aaron Hotchner ([[Thomas Gibson]]) and Derek Morgan ([[Shemar Moore]]), both carried in ankle holsters. In the Season 1 episode "L.D.S.K.", Hotchner tricks the 'Long Distance Serial Killer' into letting him beat Reid ([[Matthew Gray Gubler]]), but the kicks are a ruse to allow Reid to take the gun from Hotchner's ankle holster. Reid then kills the LDSK with a shot to the forehead, though later claims he was aiming for the LDSK's leg. Morgan's Glock 26 is shown in two instances in Season 3 - First in the episode "In Name and Blood", where he gives it to Prentiss ([[Paget Brewster]]) to use when she enters the house of a unsub (She did not have her standard [[Glock 19]] at the time) and again in the episode "Penelope", giving it to B.A.U. Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia ([[Kirsten Vangsness]]) to defend herself when an unsub (later identified as Jason Clark Battle ([[Bailey Chase]]) comes to her apartment trying to kill her after failing the first time. She thankfully does not need to use the weapon however, Battle fleeing after a short firefight with Morgan. A Glock 26 pistol is also the duty weapon of the B.A.U.'s 'Communications Liaison' (and later active analyst) SSA Jennifer 'J.J.' Jareau ([[A.J. Cook]]). She is seen with it several times in the show, notably using it in the episode "Penelope" to kill Jason Clark Battle.

==Springfield Armory TRP==
 
SSA David Rossi ([[Joe Mantegna]]) carries a [[Springfield Armory TRP]], a model of which is used by the FBI's elite HRT, throughout the series, this suggests he may have been HRT/SWAT trained to use this weapon. Rossi also has a background of serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, which also possibly helps explain his use of a 1911-type pistol.

==SIG-Sauer P226==
 
FBI Senior SSA Jason Gideon ([[Mandy Patinkin]]) carries a [[SIG-Sauer P226]] as his sidearm during his time in the BAU. This is a realistic weapon since the FBI did issue the P226. Hotchner has been seen with one a few times, but almost always carries a Glock 17 pistol.
 
[[Image:SigP226.jpg|thumb|none|300px|SIG-Sauer P226 - 9x19mm.]]

==SIG-Sauer P226R==
 
Special Agent Derek Morgan ([[Shemar Moore]]) switches to a new [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] fitted with a Streamlight TLR-1 weaponlight, which he is seen carrying starting in Season 6. His SIG can be identified as the P226R by the tactical rail, redesigned grips and trigger.

==Smith & Wesson Military & Police==
 
Reid's captor 'Tobias' ([[James Van Der Beek]]) uses a early-version [[Smith & Wesson Model 10|Smith & Wesson Military & Police]] revolver to taunt Reid with a Russian-roulette like game several times in the Season 2 episode "Revelations". Reid gets a hold of the gun when 'Tobias' leaves it unattended and is forced to kill him when his evil personality attacks Reid. It can be noted as a M&P revolver due to the Smith & Wesson style cylinder latch (The earliest M&P revolvers lack the typical Smith ejector-rod socket, akin to most older Colt revolvers).

==Smith & Wesson Model 27 / 28==
 
A serial killer called 'Animal' in the Season 4 episode "Brothers in Arms" uses what appears to be an N-frame [[Smith & Wesson Model 27 / 28]] .357 Magnum revolver (Most likely a Model 28) to kill at least six people (four of whom were cops).

== Smith & Wesson Model 29==
 
A serial killer known as the 'Hollow Man' is tracked down in St. Louis, where he uses a standard [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] revolver, loaded with hollow point rounds (hence the name), to kill prostitutes in the Season 2's "The Last Word".

==Smith & Wesson Model 36==
 
Standard J-frame [[Smith & Wesson Model 36]] revolvers are used by numerous unsubs (short for 'unknown-subjects') throughout the show. In the Season 3 episode "Lucky", Jason Clark Battle ([[Bailey Chase]]) uses a Model 36 to shoot Garcia on her doorstep. Flashbacks of this scene appear in the next episode "Penelope" as well. A Deputy Sheriff in Terlingua, Texas also uses a Model 36 in the Season 5 episode "Rite of Passage". In the Season 4 episode "The Angel Maker", a female unsub also has a Model 36 revolver.

==Smith & Wesson Model 65==
 
Special Agent Spencer Reid ([[Matthew Gray Gubler]]) switches to a 3" barrel [[Smith & Wesson Model 65]] with wood-colored grips in Season 4. He still carries his sidearm in a manner where a militia leader once said ''"The way you wear that gun - you're just asking someone to take it off of you boy."'' In addition, he carries the double action revolver in a holster that does not cover the trigger guard, something that is not generally advisable. Reid notably uses it in Season 5 opening episode "Nameless, Faceless" to shoot Patrick Meyers ([[Michael Adler]]) when he raises his gun back up (after having previously lowered it).

==Smith & Wesson 4506==
 
An older model [[Smith & Wesson 4500 pistol series#Smith & Wesson 4506|Smith & Wesson 4506]] with the square trigger guard and frame bulge is used in the Season 4 episode "Minimal Loss" by Benjamin Cyrus ([[Luke Perry]]). A serial arsonist also uses one in the Season 2 Episode "Ashes & Dust", but refuses to fire it noticing the benzene-filled building would explode from the muzzle flash.

Various [[M1911 pistol series#M1911A1|M1911A1]] pistols are seen several times throughout the series.

He ultimately uses it to end the hostage crisis by shooting the hostage-taker as he's struggling with Reid ([[Matthew Gray Gubler]]). Also used by an unsub known as the "Fisher King" to shoot Agent Elle Greenaway ([[Lola Glaudini]]) in the Season 1 finale episode. In the Season 5 episode "100", George Foyet/'The Reaper' ([[C. Thomas Howell]]) uses an M1911A1 to shoot U.S. Marshal Sam Kassmeyer ([[D.B. Sweeney]]) several times when interrogating him on the location of Hotchner's wife & child, as well as fatally shooting Hotchner's wife when he finally finds them. He also fires it several times at Hotchner while fighting with him, but misses him.

=Rifles=
 
==AR-15/M4 Carbine Variants==
 
Throughout the series, FBI SWAT and several local police tactical units carry [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 carbines]], both standard models and variants with various accessories. A militia member is seen with one holding a hostage on a hilltop in the Season 3 episode "Identity". A teenage unsub also uses a standard M4A1 throughout the Season 3 episode "Elephant's Memory". In another episode, a killer guns down 3 of his enemies with a fully automatic AR-15, possibly class 3 or illegally converted since it is described as privately owned. In the Season 1 episode "L.D.S.K.", a shooter uses a modified scoped AR-15 from the trunk of a car (reminiscent of the D.C. sniper incident), aiming to wound people so he can attend to the wounds as part of a hero complex.

Criminal Minds (2005-2020)

Criminal Minds is a US crime procedural series that focuses on an elite team of profilers who work out of the Behavior Analysis Unit of the FBI. In each episode, these agents of the BAU try to decipher the behavior of the criminal (who is commonly referred to in the series as an "Unsub" or "Unknown Subject") rather than strictly solving the crime. The series premiered in 2005 in the US on CBS. Criminal Minds would spawn two spinoffs: Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, which starred Forest Whitaker, and aired for one season in 2011, and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, which starred Gary Sinise, and premiered in March of 2016 and aired for two seasons until 2017. The show was renewed for its fifteenth and final season (a shortened season consisting of only 10 episodes), which premiered in the US in January of 2020 and aired until February of 2020.

The following lists the seasons of the series Criminal Minds:
