'''''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit''''' is the first television spin-off of the series ''[[Law & Order]]''. The series (sometimes referred to as ''Law & Order: SVU'') focuses on the detectives working in the NYPD's Special Victims Unit, who investigate primarily sexually-based offenses. For the first 12 seasons, the primary detectives on the series were Olivia Benson ([[Mariska Hargitay]]) and Elliot Stabler ([[Christopher Meloni]]).  Also joining the regular cast were [[Dann Florek]], reprising his role as Captain Don Cragen from the first three seasons of ''[[Law & Order]]'', and [[Richard Belzer]] as Detective John Munch, a character he had portrayed for seven seasons on the series ''[[Homicide: Life on the Street]]'' and in a crossover episode of the original ''[[Law & Order - Season 8|Law & Order]]''.  Beginning in ''[[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Season 2|Season 2]]'', [[Ice-T]] (who had portrayed a different character in the ''[[Law & Order]]'' television film ''[[Exiled: A Law & Order Movie]]'') joined the cast as Det. Fin Tutuola. In ''[[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Season 20|Season 20]]'', [[Philip Winchester]] from ''[[Chicago Justice]]'' joined the cast portraying Peter Stone, the son of original ''[[Law & Order]]'' EADA Ben Stone ([[Michael Moriarty]]). After an absence of nearly ten years, Meloni would return as Stabler in the 2021 series ''[[Law & Order: Organized Crime]]''. ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' premiered in 1999 in the US on NBC and launched its [[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Season 21|21st season]] in September of 2019, breaking the record for the longest-running live-action primetime series in US television history, surpassing the 20 seasons of ''Gunsmoke'' as well as the 20 plus seasons of the original ''[[Law & Order]]''. The series also has had crossover episodes with ''[[Chicago P.D.]]'' and ''[[Chicago Fire]]'', which are also being executive produced by ''[[Law & Order]]'' creator Dick Wolf.

2nd and 3rd Generation [[Glock#Glock_19|Glock 19s]] are used by the majority of NYPD detectives in the Special Victims Unit including Detective Elliot Stabler ([[Christopher Meloni]]), Detective Olivia Benson ([[Mariska Hargitay]]), Detective (later Sergeant) John Munch ([[Richard Belzer]]), Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola ([[Ice-T]]), Detective Brian Cassidy ([[Dean Winters]]), Detective Chester Lake ([[Adam Beach]]), Detective Nick Amaro ([[Danny Pino]]), and Detective Amanda Rollins ([[Kelli Giddish]]). Captain Donald Cragen ([[Dann Florek]]) is sometimes seen carrying one in some episodes. Uniformed NYPD Officers and FBI Agents, including Special Agents Dean Porter ([[Vincent Spano]]) and Dana Lewis ([[Marcia Gay Harden]]) are seen using Glock 19s as well.  Like many television shows and films, every time a Glock is seen being drawn, the sound effect of a hammer cocking is heard (despite the fact that Glocks are hammerless).
