The X-Files - Season 4 (1996-1997)

The following firearms were used in Season 4 of the television series The X-Files.

Pistols

SIG-Sauer P226

Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) carries a SIG-Sauer P226. Mulder carried the P226 for the entirety of the show from Season 2 onwards, with the exception of Season 3, when he and Scully both used Smith & Wesson 5906s.

From S4E18 "Max". This is probably the best close-up of Mulder's SIG P226 in the entire show.

SIG-Sauer P225

Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) carried a SIG-Sauer P225 rather than the P228 she used normally. This might have occurred because the show's armorer was unable to bring a P228 on-set for those particular episodes. Scully used the P225 from "Unruhe" (S4E02) until "The End" (S5E20). Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) also occasionally carried a P225.

Walther PPK

Fox Mulder carries a Walther PPK in an ankle holster when he loses his SIG-Sauer P226 during "Paper Hearts" (S4E10). This gun was seen previously as Mulder's backup pistol in Season 3's "Nisei" and "731".

Smith & Wesson 5906

Dana Scully uses the Smith & Wesson 5906 handgun that she used in Season 3 in the Season 4 premier episode "Herrenvolk" (S4E01).

NOTE: Several users have suggested that these pistols might be the Smith & Wesson 1076 in 10mm, which was briefly used by the FBI. This is incorrect; the 1076 has a single-stack frame, while the pistols in the show have double-stack frames, meaning that they can only be the model S&W 5906. The show's guns are not the .40-caliber model 4006, because the 4006's frame features checkering on the grip, missing on the show's Smith & Wessons (the 5906 frame has vertical grooves on the grip). The model S&W 1076 can be easily distinguished from the S&W 5906, as the 1076 is hammerless, has no manual safety and a frame mounted de-cocking lever. This is a TV show, not real life, and movie/television armorers have always tended to use 9mm pistols rather than larger calibers, because 9mm blanks are more reliable to cycle in pistols than larger calibers.

In a dream during "Paper Hearts" (S4E10), Fox Mulder grabs his father's revolver from a box. This is the same revolver he attempted to use to save his sister Samantha from alien abduction as a child, seen during Season 2's "Little Green Men" (S2E01).
