NYPD Detective's Javier Esposito (Jon Huertas) and Kevin Ryan (Seamus Dever) use a Glock 17 as their primary sidearms throughout the series. Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) uses one until "Home is Where the Heart Stops". Criminals also like them, one was used with a suppressor to murder Roger Farraday (Dean Cates) in A Deadly Game.
Glock 19
Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) starts carrying the more compact Glock 19 during the events of "Home is Where the Heart Stops". Castle (Nathan Fillion) also uses Kate's while at the range, pretending to be completely inexperienced, then showing extreme proficiency after he's offered crime scene photos. Det. Tom Demming (Michael Trucco) also carries one.
Glock 26
A Glock 26 serves as Det. Beckett's backup gun, it's most notably seen when she hands it to Castle to defend himself from the "Tick, Tick, Tick..." & "Boom!" killer when they enter the warehouse he's hiding in. He uses it to shoot Kate's Glock 19 out of the killers hand. After wards Castle reveals that "he was aiming for his head". Castle again uses Kate's Glock 26 in order to defend himself in the season 3 premiere A Deadly Affair, he uses it to wound a gunman who came up behind Beckett.
Noteworthy is that his "Aiming for the head" remark is the third Firefly/Serenity reference in the series. The first two took place during the episode "Vampire Weekend" when Castle wore his Mal costume, and the second was a catalyzer sitting on his bookshelf. A catalyzer is required for any Firefly class ship to run, and was a large part of Out of Gas' story arc.

Noel du Preez (Michael Enright) uses a compensated 1911 to shoot at the team when he thinks they're robbers stealing from his store.
