==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 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 4500 pistol series#Smith & Wesson 4506|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 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.

== M1911A1 ==
== M1911A1 ==
Various [[M1911 pistol series#M1911A1|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.

Throughout the series, FBI SWAT and several local police tactical units carry [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|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.

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. Other FBI agents and some police officers are seen with Glock 17 pistols.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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" in the Season 1 finale episode.
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.
Throughout the series, FBI SWAT and several local police tactical units carry M4A1 carbines, both standard models and variants with various accessories. 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
