The following weapons can be seen in the television series Criminal Minds:
Handguns
Glock 17
Third-Generation Glock 17 pistols were for a long time the predominant weapon carried by almost all of the show's main male characters. FBI Supervisory Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) carried his Glock 17 with a Streamlight TLR-2 weaponlight/laser module throughout most of his time on the show. B.A.U. (Behavior Analysis Unit) Chief SSA Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) and Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) were also both frequently seen with standard Glock 17's. Of these three individuals, only Hotchner continues to carry a Glock 17. Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) used a Glock 17 in the pilot episode. Afterward, Gideon uses a SIG-Sauer P226, while Reid later exchanged his own Glock for a .357 Smith & Wesson Model 65 revolver. Sometime at the beginning of Season 6, Morgan started to carry a SIG-Sauer P226R (fitted with a TLR-1 Streamlight attachment) as his sidearm. At the end of the Season 2 Episode "The Big Game", 'Tobias' (James Van Der Beek) knocks down Reid and briefly threatens him with his Glock 17. Other FBI agents and some police officers are seen with Glock 17 pistols.
Glock 19
SSA Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) uses a Third-Generation Glock 19 as her sidearm. Her predecessor, SSA Elle Greenaway (Lola Glaudini) also used the Glock 19 throughout Season 1 and her episodes in Season 2. Another Glock 19 is used by a police detective to fire a few shots at a fleeing criminal, although he misses and the criminal commits suicide by driving off a cliff. Also carried by NYPD 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 the Season 1 episode "L.D.S.K.", Hotchner tricks the 'Long Distance Serial Killer' into letting him beat Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), 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 claims he was aiming for the LDSK's leg. Morgan's Glock 26 is shown in two instances in Season 3 - First in the episode "In Name and Blood", where he gives it to Prentiss (Paget Brewster) to use when she enters the house of a unsub (She did not have her standard Glock 19 at the time) and again in the episode "Penelope", giving it to B.A.U. Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) to defend herself when an unsub (later identified as Jason Clark Battle (Bailey Chase) comes to her apartment trying to kill her after failing the first time. She thankfully does not need to use the weapon however, Battle fleeing after a short firefight with Morgan. A Glock 26 pistol is also the duty weapon of the B.A.U.'s 'Communications Liaison' (and later active analyst) SSA Jennifer 'J.J.' Jareau (A.J. Cook). She is seen with it several times in the show, notably using it in the episode "Penelope" to kill Jason Clark Battle.
Springfield Armory TRP
SSA David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) carries a Springfield Armory TRP, a model of which is used by the FBI's elite HRT, throughout the series, this suggests he may have been HRT/SWAT trained to use this weapon. Rossi also has a background of serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, which also possibly helps explain his use of a 1911-type pistol.
SIG-Sauer P226
FBI Senior SSA Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) carries a SIG-Sauer P226 as his sidearm during his time in the BAU. 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.
SIG-Sauer P226R
Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) switches to a new SIG-Sauer P226R fitted with a Streamlight TLR-1 weaponlight, which he is seen carrying starting in Season 6. His SIG can be identified as the P226R by the tactical rail, redesigned grips and trigger.
SIG-Sauer P220 Sport
In Season 7's "Dorado Falls", Luke Dolan (Max Martini) is seen holding a SIG-Sauer P220 Sport during a flashback.
Smith & Wesson Military & Police
Reid's captor 'Tobias' (James Van Der Beek) uses a early-version Smith & Wesson Military & Police revolver to taunt Reid with a Russian-roulette like game several times in the Season 2 episode "Revelations". Reid gets a hold of the gun when 'Tobias' leaves it unattended and is forced to kill him when his evil personality attacks Reid. It can be noted as a M&P revolver due to the Smith & Wesson style cylinder latch (The earliest M&P revolvers lack the typical Smith ejector-rod socket, akin to most older Colt revolvers).
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Patrick Meyers (Michael Adler) uses a .38 Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver as his weapon of choice in the Season 5 episode "Faceless, Nameless".
Smith & Wesson Model 13
A Smith & Wesson Model 13 is used by former militia member Henry Frost (Kaj-Erik Eriksen) in Season 3's "Identity" (S3E07).
Smith & Wesson Model 27 / 28
A serial killer called 'Animal' in the Season 4 episode "Brothers in Arms" uses what appears to be an N-frame Smith & Wesson Model 27 / 28 .357 Magnum revolver (Most likely a Model 28) to kill at least six people (four of whom were cops).
Smith & Wesson Model 29
A serial killer known as the 'Hollow Man' is tracked down in St. Louis, where he uses a standard Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver, loaded with hollow point rounds (hence the name), to kill prostitutes in the Season 2's "The Last Word".
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Standard J-frame Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolvers are used by numerous unsubs (short for 'unknown-subjects') throughout the show. In the Season 3 episode "Lucky", Jason Clark Battle (Bailey Chase) uses a Model 36 to shoot Garcia on her doorstep. Flashbacks of this scene appear in the next episode "Penelope" as well. A Deputy Sheriff in Terlingua, Texas also uses a Model 36 in the Season 5 episode "Rite of Passage". In the Season 4 episode "The Angel Maker", a female unsub also has a Model 36 revolver.
Smith & Wesson Model 442 Airweight
A Smith & Wesson Model 442 revolver is seen in an Unsub's confiscated backpack.
Smith & Wesson Model 629 V-Comp
Identified as a .44 Magnum, a Smith & Wesson Model 629 V-Comp is used as the weapon of choice for George Foyet aka 'The Boston Reaper' (C. Thomas Howell), an infamous serial killer and the nemesis of Agent Hotchner (Thomas Gibson).
Smith & Wesson Model 65
Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) carries as his main weapon a 3" barrel Smith & Wesson Model 65 with wood-colored grips starting in the Season 4 episode "The Angel Maker". He carries his sidearm in a very frontal appendix-carry (as he also did with his previous Glock 17), a manner in-which a militia leader once said "The way you wear that gun - you're just asking someone to take it off of you boy." In addition, he carries the double action revolver in a holster that does not cover the trigger guard, something that is not generally advisable. Reid notably uses it in Season 5 opening episode "Nameless, Faceless" to shoot Patrick Meyers (Michael Adler) when he raises his gun back up (after having previously lowered it).
Smith & Wesson 4506
An older model Smith & Wesson 4506 with the square trigger guard and frame bulge is used in the Season 4 episode "Minimal Loss" by Benjamin Cyrus (Luke Perry). A serial arsonist also uses one in the Season 2 Episode "Ashes & Dust", but refuses to fire it noticing the benzene-filled building would explode from the muzzle flash.
Beretta 92FS
Beretta 92FS pistols are used by many characters, including criminals and police officers, notably by the terrorist Ben Abner to kill three Secret Service agents exiting a hospital elevator in Season 4's "Mayhem". Jason Clark Battle (Bailey Chase) is seen with a 92FS at BAU headquarters.
Beretta 92FS Inox
A Beretta 92FS Inox is used by an 'Unsub' (Unknown-Subject) in the pilot episode "Extreme Aggressor" to hold a hostage.
Beretta 950 Jetfire
A terror cell kills several civilians and and one member wounds a detective, using Beretta 950 Jetfire pistols. Police ballistic analysts state it is chambered in .22 long rifle, and explains the caliber was most likely used since NYC background noise was often louder than the report of a .22lr.
Colt Official Police
In the Season 1 Episode "Somebody's Watching", Maggie (Katheryn Winnick) wields what appears to be a Colt Official Police against Lila Archer (Amber Heard), who is being protected by Reid. Reid gets ahold of this weapon in a struggle and holds it on Maggie.
SIG-Sauer P232
A female serial killer is seen pulling what appears to be a SIG-Sauer P232 on one of her victims in a Dallas parking garage in Season 4's "Pleasure Is My Business" (S4E16).
M1911A1
Various M1911A1 pistols are seen several times throughout the series. In the Season 1 episode "Derailed", 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" to shoot Agent Elle Greenaway (Lola Glaudini) in the Season 1 finale episode. In the Season 5 episode "100", George Foyet/'The Reaper' (C. Thomas Howell) uses an M1911A1 to shoot U.S. Marshal Sam Kassmeyer (D.B. Sweeney) several times when interrogating him on the location of Hotchner's wife & child, as well as fatally shooting Hotchner's wife when he finally finds them. He also fires it several times at Hotchner while fighting with him, but misses him.
Heckler & Koch USP
In the episode "Lauren", Prentiss leaves her issue Glock behind when going it alone to find Ian Doyle (Timothy V. Murphy). She then interrogates an Irish mob informant at gunpoint with a Heckler & Koch USP, shooting his ear off when she finishes questioning him.
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. A militia member is seen with one holding a hostage on a hilltop in the Season 3 episode "Identity". A teenage unsub also uses a standard M4A1 throughout the Season 3 episode "Elephant's Memory". In another episode, a killer guns down 3 of his enemies with a fully automatic AR-15, possibly class 3 or illegally converted since it is described as privately owned. In the Season 1 episode "L.D.S.K.", 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 can attend to the wounds as part of a hero complex.
Norinco Type 56
In the Season 2 episode "Distress", Roy Woodridge (Holt McCallany), a U.S. Army Ranger and veteran of Somalia suffering from a PTSD-related psychotic break, sees militia with various AKMs, but it's an illusion as they are actually SWAT officers with M4A1 Carbines. In a retelling of his past, he can be seen killing a child soldier armed with a Norinco Type 56.
AKM
In the episode "Minimal Loss", members of a polygamist cult use AKM assault rifles in a shootout with the Colorado SWAT team.
AKMSU
Another weapon used by the cult in the episode "Minimal Loss" is the AKMSU carbine, notably the leader Benjamin Cyrus (Luke Perry). Like many AKMSUs in the film industry, these guns are outfitted with Krinkov parts kits to resemble AKS-74U carbines, but have a notably more curved 7.62x39mm magazine, as opposed to the AKS-74U's relatively straighter magazine. In the episodes "Valhalla" and "Lauren", a group of ex-IRA members can be seen armed with AKMSU's fitted with railed handguards and RIS foregrips & EOTech red dot sights, engaging in a shootout with Prentiss and Morgan when the two catch them leaving the home of a victim.
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".
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
In Season 2's "Psychodrama" (S2E04), the bank robber Sheppard (Jason Wiles) uses a MAC-10 fitted with a barrel shroud throughout the episode. In a brief standoff, he convinces a guard to surrender based on the fact he'd go down spraying at civilians.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
Heckler & Koch MP5A2s are used by various SWAT teams, notably by FBI SWAT in Season 4's "Minimal Loss" (S4E03) during the rescue at the polygamist compound. In the episode, the gunfire of the MP5A2's appear to sound like suppressed fire, but no suppressors are seen on the weapons.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) and David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) use Heckler & Koch MP5A3s with dedicated SureFire lights in Season 5's "Rite of Passage" (S5E19). They deploy them because the region of Texas they are traveling to is close to the Mexico-U.S. border, and since there is a high possibility of armed attack (because drug and alien-immigration cartels directly target and place bounties on U.S. law enforcement agents, especially Federal agents), they may need the additional firepower.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
In Season 6's "Lauren" (S6E18), Prentiss wields a Heckler & Koch MP5K when ambushing Doyle's entourage as they're leaving a pub, shooting several of Doyle's men, though loses the weapon when Doyle stuns her by shooting her in her bulletproof vest. In Season 7's "Dorado Falls" (S7E03), Luke Dolan (Max Martini) is seen armed with the MP5K throughout the episode.
Machine Guns
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
In a flashback during the Season 2 episode "Distress", Somali militiamen are seen riding in a pickup truck converted into a 'technical', the vehicle armed with a Browning M2HB heavy machine gun mounted in the bed.
Shotguns
Remington 870
In Season 4's two-part finale "To Hell" (Part 1) - "...And Back" (Part 2), former U.S. Army Sergeant William Hightower (Sharif Atkins), whose sister was abducted and later murdered by an unsub team, takes an unguarded Remington 870 fitted with a Surefire dedicated forend weaponlight and speedfeed stock, using it to kill one of the unsubs after hearing his callous justification for his actions, dropping the weapon and surrendering to the agents after firing the fatal shot. In Season 3's "3rd Life" (S3E12), former hitman Jack Vaughan (Fredric Lane) holds the 870 on his daughter's captor.
Remington 870 Field Gun
A sawed off Remington 870 Field Gun shotgun with raised barrel ribbing is used by the 'Road Warrior' killer (Mitch Pileggi) in the Season 4 episode "Normal". The shotgun has been fitted a custom brace on the pump that attaches to his windowsill and allows him to rack the slide and fire from inside his car at motorists while driving. Another such shotgun is also used by several militant activists who try to massacre a tribal school in Season 1's "The Tribe".
Over Under Double Barrel Shotgun
Rossi (Joe Mantegna) is seen hunting with a Over-and-Under Double Barrel Shotgun at the beginning of the Season 3 episode "About Face" (S3E06), his first episode on the series. It should be noted that actor Joe Mantegna is a big skeet shooter in real life.
Mossberg 500
Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) wields what appears to be a Mossberg 500 'Persuader' shotgun in the Season 4 episode "Brothers in Arms".
Sniper Rifles
Remington 700PSS
A Remington 700PSS model is seen in use by various SWAT teams, notably in the episode "Distress" to shoot a Somalia veteran suffering from PTSD who tried to get a child out of harm's way but this act was mistaken for an attack.
Winchester Model 70
In Season 3's "Identity" (S3E07), Harris Townsend (Pat Skipper), a militia leader deputized by the sheriff, uses a Winchester Model 70 fitted with a scope and Harris bipod to kill a crazy former militia member and save a hostage. He gives the team the spent shell.
SVD Dragunov
In Season 5's "The Fight" (S5E18), FBI SSA Mick Rawson (Matt Ryan) takes aim with a SVD Dragunov sniper rifle fitted with a scope and bipod. The rifle is an unusual choice for an American federal agent (however, it's mentioned that Rawson is former British SAS).
Other
M26 hand grenade
In Season 3's "Identity" (S3E07), militia member Francis Goehring (Michael Cudlitz) pulls the pin on an M26 hand grenade when stopped by law enforcement.
