Deputy Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) carries a six-inch barreled Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver as his duty sidearm in the series. He is seen using the revolver prominently in the series premiere "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01). Of note is that when Grimes fires the gun in a very tight, enclosed space (in this case, inside a tank), it actually severely disorients him and hurts his hearing, unlike most movies or shows that have people firing guns indoors or in other enclosed spaces without being fazed. Grimes notably uses the revolver twice in Season 1, wielding it in "Wildfire" (S1E05) and once again fires it as the group flee the CDC in Season 1's finale "TS-19" (S1E06).

Colt Trooper
In S01E05/(Wildfire) just before the group leaves for the CDC Headquarters, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) gives Morales (Juan Gabriel Pareja) what appears to be a Colt Trooper in .357 Magnum from the bag of guns when Morales and his family decide to leave the group to find their family in Birmingham. You can also hear Shane say ".357?" as well when Rick is getting it out of the bag.
In "Vatos" (S1E04), a snub nose Smith & Wesson Model 10 or two can be seen in the hands of the Vatos. during the standoff in Atlanta, specifically Felipe (Noel Gugliemi). In "Wildfire" (S1E05), Rick (Andrew Lincoln) offers a Model 10 from the bag of guns to Jim who has been bitten to end himself, he declines.
In "Vatos" (S1E04), what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 15 is seen in the hands of one of Guillermo's right hand men, Jorge (James Gonzaba) during the standoff.
A stainless Taurus Model 85 is used by Morgan Jones (Lennie James) in "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01). It has a 5-shot cylinder but is not of the S&W J-frame series. The unique curved ejector shroud on a Taurus Model 85 is barely noticeable in the photos below. Most likely if it is not a Taurus Model 85, it could possibly be a Ruger SP101. More in the Discussion page.
A Glock 17 was one of the sidearms of the police in the first episode. One of the deputies was told by Grimes to have a round chambered and also (incorrectly) to make sure the safety was off. A Glock 17 is also taken by Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) from Rick's gun bag to confront the Vatos in in "Vatos" (S1E04). Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) carries one as well as his duty sidearm, and is seen carrying it at the end of "Vatos" (S1E04). In "TS-19" (S1E06), Shane is seen firing the pistol when they are fleeing the CDC headquarters when he takes a shot on a zombie as they make a break for the vehicles. It can also be seen in Shane's hands in the opening flashback of the same episode in the hospital.
At the beginning of the series premiere "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01), one of the suspects from the police chase uses what appears to be a two-tone SIG-Sauer P228.
In "Vatos" (S1E04), Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) handles a black SIG-Sauer P226 as he, Daryl, and T-Dog load up from the bag of guns as they prepare to confront the Vatos. It appears he may even have it tucked in the back of his belt during the confrontation later at the small of his back in addition to the Colt Python in his holster.
At the beginning of the series premiere "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01), one of the suspects from the police chase uses a M1911A1 to wound Rick before being killed himself by Shane. Merle is seen with a nickel M1911A1 in the Comic-con trailer.
Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) carries a chrome Browning Hi-Power pistol and uses it to threaten fellow group members in "Guts" (S1E02). The weapon is taken forcefully, then used by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) as he and Glenn make their way to the truck.
Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) takes a Beretta 92FS (standing in for a U.S. Military-issue M9) from a dead soldier inside a tank in the end of the series premiere "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01). In "Guts" (S1E02), Rick identifies on the radio that the pistol is a Beretta with "15 rounds in the clip". He fires it until dry then stores it in Glenn's Backpack. In the opening flashback of "TS-19" (S1E06), Shane witnesses soldiers using Berettas to execute infected people in the hospital where Rick laid comatose in during the initial outbreak. One of the soldiers in the hospital flashback in "TS-19" (S1E06) uses a Non Gun Beretta 92FS when he's finishing off the bodies with a shot to the head.

This was probably done due to the enclosed space that the weapon was used in as well as for the safety of the extras on the floor, since the gun fires several times near them. Also, its appearance is relatively brief, so there probably wasn't a need for a real blank firearm.
Smith & Wesson 3913 "Ladysmith"
Andrea (Laurie Holden) is first seen with a Smith & Wesson 3913 "Ladysmith" in "Guts" (S1E02). She later in the episode hands the pistol to Glenn (Steven Yeun) for his own protection when he and Rick make their way to the escape van, he does not fire it in the escape though. Andrea uses it in "Wildfire" (S1E05) to put her sister Amy down after she comes back as a walker.
Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) is seen with what appears to be a Browning BDA during the standoff in "Vatos" (S1E04). The handgun in the front of his waistband is definitely not the Glock he loaded earlier on which is in the back of his waistband at the small of his back. Unlike the Glock, this pistol also has an external hammer. It seems to also have a different rear sight than the SIG featured in the earlier loading scene.
In "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01), a Mossberg 590 is first seen during a flashback being used by Rick's partner, Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) during the shootout with the suspects in the overturned vehicle just before Rick is wounded in the line of duty. The shotgun is fitted with an extended magazine tube, heat-shield, collapsible KNOXX SpecOps NRS stock with pistol grip. It appears again later in Shane's possession at the survivor camp and can notably be seen being used by Shane on the attacking Walkers at the camp in "Vatos" (S1E04). In "Wildfire" (S1E05), Shane is seen with the shotgun when he and Rick Grimes patrol the woods. Shane also loses his cool when trapped in the CDC Headquarters in the Season 1 finale "TS-19" (S1E06) and uses it to blow up some computer monitors but later uses it in an attempt to bust the glass to escape the CDC which fails. Once outside, Shane uses the Mossberg to blast down walkers as the group runs to the vehicles.
The Mossberg 500 shotgun with extended mag tube is first seen used by law enforcement officers seen in a flashback chasing suspects in a car in "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01). Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) can first be seen using the Mossberg 500 in "Vatos" (S1E04), as it was packed in his bag of guns from the police station he dropped in the series premiere. He uses this shotgun from the bag in the standoff with the Vatos and ends up giving it to their leader, Guillermo (Neil Brown Jr.) after the Vatos turn out to be doing a good thing.
Glenn (Steven Yeun) uses the 'Persuader' version of the Mossberg 500, after taking it from Rick's gunbag in "Vatos" (S1E04). He uses it during the subsequent episodes, most notably during the siege on the camp by the walkers. In "Wildfire" (S1E05), he still has it as the group makes their way to the CDC Headquarters.
In the series premiere "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01), a flashback shows one of the suspects that emerged from the wrecked car following a police chase using a Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser fitted with a door-breaching muzzle-brake.
In "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01), a Remington 870 Wingmaster shotgun is briefly seen in the house Rick stops at. In the same episode, Rick also has one stashed in his bag of guns he got from the police station locker, the shotgun sports a walnut stock, a barrel without the raised barrel vent rib and possibly a shorter 20" Barrel, it ends up with Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) during the "switch" with the Vatos in S01E04. Daryl continues to carry it along with his crossbow in "Wildfire" (S1E05) when the group arrives at the CDC and still has it in the opening of "TS-19" (S1E06).
In "Vatos" (S1E04), T-Dog (IronE Singleton) takes Remington 870 with a synthetic stock from Rick's bag of guns and uses it during the standoff as well as during the walker's siege on the survivor camp. He appears to be carrying it still as the group make their way to the CDC in "Wildfire" (S1E05).
For the remainder of "Vatos" (S1E04), Rick (Andrew Lincoln) appears to be using a Harrington & Richardson Pardner Pump Compact with a wood stock to replace the Mossberg he gave to Guillermo. He fires it at walkers in the camp during the attack and then carries it throughout "Wildfire" (S1E05) and upon arriving at the CDC in "TS-19" (S1E06) upon arriving at the CDC.
In "Guts" (S1E02), Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) is seen firing a Winchester Model 70 bolt-action rifle atop a building at walkers. He also uses the rifle to rifle-butt T-Dog in a disagreement before Rick intervenes.
Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) carries what appears to be a Remington 700 with a scope and Varmint Laminated Stock, he is seen with it in every episode usually slung over his back as he keeps watch over camp. In "Vatos" (S1E04), Dale fires it on the walkers during the attack and carries it to the CDC. In "TS-19" (S1E06), it appears that T-Dog (IronE Singleton) is carrying the rifle as the group flees the CDC and even fires it at least once.

Remington 700 BDL
In "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01), a scoped Remington 700 BDL is given to Morgan Jones (Lennie James) by Rick Grimes from the sheriff's station arsenal. Morgan uses it to brush up on his marksmanship skills from the second story window of his hideout. To note when he is setting up to kill his wife (yet he is unable to bring himself to do so.) He takes an I.D. Photo and sets it up like a hide sight giving us a possibility of being a sniper in the past.
A scoped Browning Automatic Rifle Safari is one of the rifles retrieved in Rick's bag of guns. In "Vatos" (S1E04), the rifle is briefly seen being used by T-Dog (IronE Singleton) during the standoff with the gangsters in Atlanta.
M4A1 assault rifles can be seen abandoned with several dead soldiers and other military personnel around the CDC Headquarters in "Wildfire" (S1E05). US soldiers appear to be armed with M4A1's in the opening of "TS-19" (S1E06) when Shane witnesses the execution of infected people inside the hospital. An M4A1 is also carried by Dr. Edwin Jenner (Noah Emmerich) later in the same episode when he first confronts the group he allowed inside.
In "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01), a mockup of a Browning M2HB is seen mounted atop a British Chieftain tank (presumably standing in for an M1 Abrams) in which Grimes takes refuge. M2HBs are also seen on Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopters and on a IAV Stryker.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingBrowning M2HB - .50 BMGError creating thumbnail: File missingThe fake M2HB is visible on the hatch, with a real M2HB in the foreground. As seems common for Chieftains standing in for other tanks, the thermal sleeve has been removed from the L11A5 L/55 120mm rifled cannon. This appears to be a Mark 11 tank, mounting the "Stillbrew" bolt-on armor package for the driver's position and turret, and minus the .50 cal coaxial ranging machine gun and the large infrared searchlight box on the left hand side of the turret.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA closeup of the mounting; note that the mounting is designed for the L7 GPMG, an FN MAG derivative, and the fake M2 simply sits on top of it. Compare to the real M2 in the foreground of the shot above.
DShK
In "TS-19" (S1E06), a DShK heavy machine gun is seen in a machine gun next outside the CDC in Atlanta. Likely a mocked-up Browning M2.
In "Guts" (S1E02), Rick (Andrew Lincoln) takes an M69 Hand Grenade (The inert training version of the live M67 grenade) from a tank and stores it in his pocket. It can be noted as an M69 not only by the inherent likelihood of it being so but also because it is seen in some shots with a bit of the blue paint showing through the over painted OD green color.

Note that the spoon appears to be painted blue.
Horton Scout Crossbow
A Horton Scout HD 125 Crossbow is used by Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) as his weapon of choice.
In "Days Gone Bye" (S1E01), Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is seen ransacking the sheriff's station armory and throughout the first season is seen with a duffle bag of guns. Later in the episode, he is seen having to abandon this bag when attacked by swarm of walkers. For the majority of the time in the premiere episode, the shotguns sticking out of the bag appear to be foam props. Later in the season, the bag ends up in the hands and used by fellow survivors in the group or himself, or given away. Inside the bag up to episode 4 is six shotguns, two high-powered rifles, a dozen handguns, and seven hundred rounds of ammunition, assorted. So far the current count from the bag is Harrington & Richardson Pardner Pump Compact, Mossberg 500, Mossberg 500 Persuader, two Remington 870s, Browning Automatic Rifle Safari, Remington 700, Glock 17 (possibly more than one), SIG-Sauer P226, Smith & Wesson Model 10 snub-nose, and a Colt Trooper.
