NBC originally ordered a new season of six episodes for Southland, but the network canceled the series before a single new episode aired. These episodes were subsequently picked up by and aired as Season 2 on the TNT Network.
The following weapons can be seen in the series Southland:
Several LAPD officers and detectives carry the Beretta 92FS as their sidearm, including Detective Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy), Detective Daniel "Sal" Salinger (Michael McGrady), Detective Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro), Officer Bill "Dewey" Dudek (C. Thomas Howell), Detective Russell Clarke (Tom Everett Scott), and a number of other officers. This weapon is on the LAPD approved carry list. In Season 2's premiere "Phase Three" (S2E01), Officer Chickie Brown's partner Ferguson pulls his Beretta during a confrontation with a confused driver. One of the Latino hitmen in the first few episodes of Season 2 also uses a Beretta.
Officer Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) carries a Glock 22 as his sidearm. This weapon is standard issue to all LAPD probationary officers. Upon completion of probation, they may choose to switch to another weapon on the approved carry list, or they can stay with the Glock. Officer Chickie Brown (Arija Bareikis) also uses a Glock 22 as her sidearm, although her weapon is fitted with a Surefire X-300 tactical light. Detective Ray Suarez (Clifton Collins, Jr.) can also be seen using a Glock 22 in "The Runner" (S2E04).
Officer John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) carries a Smith & Wesson 5906 (as evidenced by its double stack frame) as his duty sidearm. This weapon is on the LAPD approved carry list.
Officer Chickie Brown (Arija Bareikis) uses an early model Smith & Wesson 6906 (notice low, non-novak rear sights, as well as the "hooked" trigger guard) as her off-duty gun, which she notably uses to arrest the Canyon Rapist in "Maximum Deployment" (S2E06).
In "U-Boat" (S2E03), Chickie and John arrest a man on the street for possession of a concealed handgun and a Smith & Wesson Model 60 is one of the handguns Chickie confiscates from the suspect.
The grieving father carries a Smith & Wesson Model 15 when he goes to kill his daughter's murderer. Detectives Adams and Suarez confiscate it from him when he is arrested in "The Runner" (S2E04).
Detective Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy) confiscates a Colt M1911A1 from a teenager in "What Makes Sammy Run?" (S2E05). A cartel hitman uses a gold plated M1911A1 in "Phase Three" (S2E01) which is seen again (along with another identical 1911) in "What Makes Sammy Run?" (S2E05).
In "The Runner" (S2E04), a murder suspect keeps a Makarov PM pistol in his baby brother's stroller. He tosses the gun while being chased by Sammy and Nate, and the gun discharges when it hits the ground.
SWAT officers in "What Makes Sammy Run?" (S2E05) carry what appear to be Kimber Custom TLE II pistols (the sidearm of all LAPD SWAT officers) in their holsters.
One of the Latino hitmen's guns is a gold plated Browning Hi-Power. Ben and John find it along with other gold plated weapons in "What Makes Sammy Run?" (S2E05).
Several LAPD officers are seen using Remington 870 shotguns, the standard issue shotgun for the department. They are often seen in the shotgun racks of the police cars.
Detective Adams keeps a Winchester Model 1300 "Defender" in a safe in her home. In "U-Boat", she has a nightmare about defending her home with the shotgun as seen in Season 1's "Derailed", but with a different result.
LAPD SWAT officers are often armed in the series with M4A1 Carbines equipped with SureFire tactical lights and either ACOG scopes or Aimpoint red dot sights, notably in "What Makes Sammy Run?" (S02E05).
