Pistols

SIG-Sauer P226

FBI Special Agent John Doggett (Robert Patrick) carries a SIG-Sauer P226 as his sidearm. FBI Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) is also occasionally seen in S9 with a P226 instead of her usual SIG-Sauer P228, most notably in "Improbable" (S9E13). FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is also seen with a SIG P226. Other FBI agents and government personnel are seen with P226s.

During "Provenance" (S9E09), a continuity error is present as Scully is first seen wielding a SIG-Sauer P226, which then changes to her usual SIG-Sauer P228, and then back again to a P226 (see 'Special' section below).

Special

Scully is seen entering the room with a SIG P226 here in "Provenance" (S9E09). This is likely a rubber stunt version as it is knocked away in the next shot.

When the gun settles on the floor, it becomes a SIG-Sauer P228..

..But then changes back to a P226 when the rogue FBI Agent Comer (Neal McDonough) goes to pick it up.

SIG-Sauer P228

FBI Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) carries a SIG-Sauer P228 as her sidearm. FBI Special Agent Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) also carries a SIG P228. Other FBI and government agents on the show are also seen using P228s.

Lukesh (Dylan Haggerty) toys with the SIG P228 in "4-D" (S9E04).

Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) wields her SIG P228 in "Lord of the Flies" (S9E05). TRIVIA: "Lord of the Flies" featured Aaron Paul, who would go on to star in Breaking Bad, which was produced/written by The X-Files writer Vince Gilligan. Along with Bryan Cranston and Dean Norris, he is one of three Breaking Bad stars who first came to Gilligan's attention through their guest appearances on The X-Files.

Scully aims her P228 at Patti (Allison Smith), a woman who supposedly attempted to kidnap her baby son William, in "Trust No 1" (S9E06).

Agent Reyes struggles with an assailant with her SIG P228 in-hand in "Hellbound" (S9E08).

SIG-Sauer P225

During a single sequence in "Improbable" (S9E13), Dana Scully wields a SIG-Sauer P225 rather than either the P228 (which she normally carries) or the P226 she is seen with throughout the episode. This might have occurred because the show's armorer was unable to bring either of the other guns on-set for this particular sequence.

This same substitution of SIG pistols (A P225 in place of the other aforementioned SIGs) also appears to have been done in other instances late in the series; once each in the seventh season and eighth season - This was, however, a more common occurrence during the fourth and fifth seasons. It is interesting that these same weapon substitutions have occurred throughout the show, despite production of the series moving to Los Angeles (since season 6) from Vancouver (Seasons 1-5), the move including a change in armory. In this instance, the weapon is not fired, making the substitution even more intriguing.

SIG-Sauer P225 - 9x19mm

Special Agent Scully (Gillian Anderson) aims a SIG-Sauer P225 at 'Burt' in "Improbable" (S9E13). She is seen throughout the rest of the episode with a P226.

M1911A1

Standard M1911A1 pistols are seen occasionally throughout the series. Several are wielded by corrupt Mexican policeman in "John Doe" (S9E07).

Glock 17

John Doggett (Robert Patrick) is seen with a Glock 17 in a flashback to his time as an NYPD officer in "Underneath" (S9E12). This is incorrect as the full-size Glock 17 is not one of the NYPD-approved sidearms (The Glock 19, however, is) and at the time this flashback takes place (1989), most patrol officers were still issued revolvers - The issuance of semiautos in lieu of revolvers would not begin occurring in the NYPD until the early 1990s.

Glock 17 2nd Generation - 9x19mm

Doggett, here in 1989 as an NYPD officer, has a Glock 17 drawn near the beginning of "Underneath" (S9E12).

What appears to be an older Taurus Model 85 is briefly wielded by the Captain of an old US Navy ship (Ryan Cutrona), upon which secret experiments are being conducted, in the second part of the two-part season opener "Nothing Important Happened Today II" (S9E02). The revolver appears to be a 5-shot snub nose akin to a Smith & Wesson Model 36, however it appears to have a shrouded ejector-rod.

Rifles / Carbines

M16A2

Actual M16A2 rifles are seen in the later seasons produced in Los Angeles, California (Season 6 onward), rather than Olympic Arms variants as seen in the previous Vancouver-produced seasons of the show. These appear in the hands of police and law enforcement officers, as well as military personnel. Several are notably wielded by Mexican Federal Police near the conclusion of "John Doe" (S9E07), and US soldiers during a battle scene set in the Persian Gulf War, shown in a flashback at the beginning of "Providence" (S9E10).

XM177 / CAR-15 (mock-ups)

Several XM177-type carbines are seen used by military personnel and SWAT officers, notably by a squad of US troops (which are actually alien 'Super Soldier' human replacements) in a Gulf War battle flashback near the beginning of "Providence" (S9E10). These appear to be the same weapons from Season 6 and Season 8 - Mocked up from newer Colt Carbines with A2 receivers (distinguished by the brass deflector and A2 rear sights) with mock XM-type flash moderators, similar to those commonly seem on carbines in LA productions. Unlike those earlier carbines, the weapons shown in "Providence" do not have mounted weaponlights.
