Criminal Minds - Season 1
The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series Criminal Minds:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Glock 17
The Glock 17 is the prominent weapon used by almost all of the male main characters in Season 1, being carried by FBI Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), SSA Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), and Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler). Second-generation and third-generation variants are seen. Senior SSA Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin), the initial B.A.U. (Behavior Analysis Unit) Chief, 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 19
SSA Elle Greenaway (Lola Glaudini) carries a third-generation Glock 19 as her duty sidearm. Glock 19s are also seen carried by various police officers.
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 "L.D.S.K." (S01E06), Hotchner's Glock 26 is first seen when he takes it from his ankle holster while on the firing range with Reid. Later in the episode, Hotchner 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. The weapon is referenced in "The Tribe" (S01E16) when the Native American tribal policeman assisting the B.A.U. 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 "Extreme Aggressor" (S01E01), 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. The weapon change presents a continuity error when Gideon is seen with his Glock at the end of "Extreme Aggressor" (S01E01) which changes to his SIG at the beginning of the next episode "Compulsion" (S01E02), despite both scenes taking place at the same time and location.
Beretta 92FS
Beretta 92FS pistols are used by many characters, including criminals and police officers.
Beretta 92FS Inox
A Beretta 92FS Inox is used by an 'Unsub' or Unknown-Subject (later identified as Tim Vogel) to hold a hostage in "Extreme Aggressor" (S01E01).
Taurus PT92
A Taurus PT92 is seen wielded by Franklin Graney AKA the 'Tommy Killer' (Kirk B.R. Woller) in "Plain Sight" (S01E04).
Colt 1911 Competition
In "Derailed" (S01E09), a man named Anderson who ends up as a hostage onboard a train can be seen with a stainless steel Colt 1911 Competition pistol 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).
M1911A1
An M1911A1 pistol used by an unsub known as 'The Fisher King' in the Season 1 finale "The Fisher King: Part 1" (S01E22).
Harrington & Richardson Model 929
In "Somebody's Watching" (S01E18), a helmeted serial killer uses what appears to be a Harrington & Richardson Model 929. Maggie (Katheryn Winnick) also wields what appears to be a Harrington & Richardson Model 929 against Lila Archer (Amber Heard). It is referred as .22 at a crime scene earlier in the episode.
Rifles / Carbines
M4A1
Throughout the series, FBI SWAT and several local police tactical units carry M4A1 carbines, both standard models and variants with various accessories. In "L.D.S.K." (S01E06), a serial 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.
Remington 700PSS
A SWAT sniper is seen with the Remington 700PSS rifle in "Derailed" (S01E08).
Winchester Model 1892
A gunman enters a tribal school armed with what appears to be a Winchester Model 1892 rifle in Season 1's "The Tribe" (S01E16).
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Collapsible-stock Heckler & Koch MP5A3s are seen used by SWAT officers of varying jurisdictions throughout the show.
Shotguns
Remington 870
A Remington 870 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun is held by a clerk (Lukas Haas) to threaten Gideon at the conclusion of the pilot episode "Extreme Aggressor" (S01E01) and at the beginning of the next episode "Compulsion" (S01E02). Gideon briefly wields the weapon himself after a brief struggle. Several Remington 870 shotguns (Some with extended magazine tubes) are used by several militant activists who try to massacre a tribal school in "The Tribe" (S01E16).
Mossberg 500
What appear to be Mossberg 500 are used by several militant activists who try to massacre a tribal school in "The Tribe" (S01E16). One appears to be fitted with a pistol grip on the pump.
Ted Williams Model 21 Deluxe (sawed off)
What appears to be a cut-down Ted Williams Model 21 is used by a militant activist in "The Tribe" (S01E16).
