The following weapons can be seen in Season 8 of the television series Criminal Minds:
Handguns
Glock 17
A standard Third-Generation Glock 17 pistol is the duty sidearm carried by B.A.U. (Behavior Analysis Unit) Chief SSA Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson). Other FBI agents and some police officers are seen with Glock 17 pistols.
Glock 26
The Glock 26 is the backup weapon carried by both SSA Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) and SSA Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), both carried in ankle holsters. A Glock 26 pistol is also the duty weapon of the B.A.U.'s former 'Communications Liaison' (now active analyst/profiler) SSA Jennifer 'J.J.' Jareau (A.J. Cook).
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 P226R
Supervisory Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) carries a SIG-Sauer P226R fitted with a Streamlight TLR-1 weaponlight as his duty sidearm. His SIG can be identified as the P226R by the tactical rail, redesigned grips and trigger.
Smith & Wesson Model 65
Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) carries as his main weapon a 3" barrel Smith & Wesson Model 65 with wood-colored grips. 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 beggin' someone to take it off of ya." In addition, he carries the double action revolver in a holster that does not cover the trigger guard, something that is not generally advisable.
Beretta 92FS
Beretta 92FS pistols are used by many characters, including criminals and police officers.
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.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
Heckler & Koch MP5A2s are used by various SWAT teams.
