Criminal Minds - Season 1 (2005-2006)

The following weapons can be seen in Season 1 of the television series Criminal Minds:

Handguns

Glock 17

Third-Generation Glock 17 pistols are the predominant weapon used by almost all of the main male agents in Season 1, being carried by FBI Supervisory Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), SSA Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) and Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler). Morgan's Glock 17 has a distinctive Streamlight TLR-2 weaponlight/laser module mounted. The initial Behavior Analysis Unit (BAU) Chief SSA Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) also used a Glock 17, but only in the pilot episode. Afterward, Gideon uses a SIG-Sauer P226. Other FBI agents and some police officers are seen with Glock 17 pistols.

Glock 26

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 episode "L.D.S.K." (S1E06), the weapon is first seen used by Hotchner at the firing range when coaching Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler). It is later seen in the episode when Hotch tricks the 'Long Distance Serial Killer' into letting him beat Reid, 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 (jokingly) claims he was aiming for the LDSK's leg. The weapon is referenced in the episode "Tribe" (S1E16) when the Native American tribal policeman assisting the BAU team calls Hotch a 'real gun-hand' to which he adds "You carry two guns." A Glock 26 pistol is also the duty weapon of the B.A.U.'s 'Communications Liaison' SSA Jennifer 'J.J.' Jareau (A.J. Cook).

SIG-Sauer P226

After the pilot episode, FBI Senior SSA Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) carries a SIG-Sauer P226 as his duty sidearm. 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.

Beretta 92FS

Beretta 92FS pistols are used by many characters, including criminals and police officers.

M1911A1

Various M1911A1 pistols are seen several times throughout the series. In the Season 1 episode "Derailed" (S1E09), a man named Anderson who ends up as a hostage onboard a train can be seen with a stainless steel M1911A1 in his briefcase, a flashback at the start of the episode showing him having packed it when heading to Dallas to meet his wife to resolve a dispute. 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' in the Season 1 finale episode "The Fisher King: Part 1" (S1E22).

Reid gets ahold of this weapon in a struggle and holds it on Maggie. It is referred as .22 at a crime scene earlier in the episode.

Rifles

AR-15/M4 Carbine Variants

Throughout the series, FBI SWAT and several local police tactical units carry M4A1 carbines, both standard models and variants with various accessories. In the Season 1 episode "L.D.S.K." (S1E06), 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 (being a paramedic) can attend to the wounds as part of a hero complex.
