The following weapons can be seen in the television series Criminal Minds:
Handguns
Glock 17
FBI Supervisory Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) carries as his sidearm a Glock 17 with a SureFire X400 attachment. Agents Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) are frequently seen with standard Glock 17's. 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. In the ongoing sixth season, Morgan is now seen carrying a SIG-Sauer P226. 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.
Glock 19
SSA Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) uses a 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
Hotchner's (Thomas Gibson) backup gun for his Glock 17 pistol is a Glock 26 pistol, carried in an ankle holster. 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. SSA Jennifer 'J.J.' Jareau (A.J. Cook) also carries a Glock 26 as her duty weapon. In the episode "Penelope", Morgan removes a Glock 26 from an ankle holster and gives it to 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.
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. It is mentioned that Rossi also served in the U.S. Marine Corps, which also possibly helps explain his use of a 1911-type pistol.
SIG-Sauer P226
Agent Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) carries a SIG-Sauer P226 during the seasons he was in. 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. Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) switches to a SIG-Sauer P226, which he is seen carrying in the ongoing sixth season.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Patrick Meyers (Michael Adler) uses a .38 Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver as his weapon of choice in "Faceless, Nameless".
Smith & Wesson Model 29
A St. Louis serial killer uses a standard Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver to kill prostitutes in the Season 2 Episode "The Last Word".
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 ahold 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 early 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 and Wesson Model 629 Stealth Hunter
Identified as a .44 Magnum, a Smith & Wesson Model 629 Stealth Hunter is used by George Foyet aka 'The Boston Reaper' (C. Thomas Howell), an infamous serial killer & Hotchner's (Thomas Gibson) nemesis as his weapon of choice.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
In the Season 3 episode "Lucky", Jason Clark Battle (Bailey Chase) uses a .38 Smith & Wesson Model 36 to shoot Garcia on her doorstep. Flashbacks of this scene appear in the next episode "Penelope" as well. In the Season 4 episode "The Angelmaker", a female unsub also has a Model 36 revolver.
Smith & Wesson Model 442 Airweight
A Smith & Wesson Model 442 Airweight revolver is seen in an Unsub's confiscated backpack.
Smith & Wesson Model 65
Agent Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) switches to a 3" barrel Smith & Wesson Model 65 with wood-colored grips in Season 4. He still carries his sidearm in a manner where 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 Model 66
A cop-killing serial killer called 'Animal' in season 4 episode "Brothers in Arms" used a stainless steel Smith & Wesson Model 66 to kill at last six people (four of whom were cops).
Smith & Wesson 4506
An older model Smith & Wesson 4506 with the square trigger guard and frame bulge is used in the episode "Minimal Loss" by Benjamin Cyrus. 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 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", a female serial killer and stalker named Maggie wields what appears to be another Colt Official Police against Lila Archer (Amber Heard), who is being protected by Reid. Reid also gets ahold of this weapon in a struggle and holds it on Maggie.
Walther PPK
A female serial killer uses a Walther PPK to kill one of her victims in a Dallas parking garage.
M1911A1
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 opening episode "Nameless, Faceless", 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.
Rifles
AR-15/M4 Carbine Variants
Throughout the series, FBI SWAT and several local police tactical units carry M4A1 carbines. A militia member is seen with one holding a hostage on a hilltop. 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. A shooter uses a scoped AR-15 from the trunk of a car, aiming to wound people so he can attend to the wounds as part of a hero complex reminiscent of D.C. sniper incident.
Norinco Type 56
In the Season 2 episode "Distress", 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.
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
A bank robber uses a MAC-10 when he enters a brief standoff where 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 in the rescue at the polygamist compound. One is equipped with suppressor based on noise of it firing but not seen on screen.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) and David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) use Heckler & Koch MP5A3s in Season 5's "Rite of Passage".
Machine Guns
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
In a flashback during the 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. Another standard 870 shotgun is taken by a hitman and used to kill 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). 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 "About Face", his first episode on the series. It should be noted that actor Joe Mantegna is a big skeet shooter in real life.
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
A militia leader (Pat Skipper) 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 Episode 18 "The Fight", FBI BAU S.S.A Mick Rawson (Matt Ryan) shot the the suspect John Vincent Bell with an SVD Dragunov sniper rifle from the roof top.
Other
