Season 1 of Southland aired for seven episodes on NBC in 2009. Originally aired with the profanity censored, the first season was later released on DVD in uncensored form.
The following weapons can be seen in Season 1 of 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. Also used by at least one of the sheriff's deputies in "Salley in the Alley" (S1E04). This weapon is also on the Sheriff's Department approved carry list.
Officer Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) carries a Glock 22 as his sidearm. At the time of the series, the Glock was the standard issue duty weapon to all LAPD probationary officers. Upon completion of probation, they could choose to switch to another weapon on the approved carry list, or opt to stay with the Glock. Officer Chickie Brown (Arija Bareikis) carries a Glock 22 fitted with a Surefire X-300 tactical light.
Detective Adams (Regina King) uses a Smith & Wesson 3913 as her duty gun. She gives it to the witness she is protecting in Season 1's "Derailed" (S1E07).
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.
One of the Sheriff's deputies is seen carrying a Heckler & Koch USP in "Sally in the Alley" (S1E04). The correct model would be the .45 ACP version, as that is the only USP on the Sheriff's Department approved carry list. A gang member uses a two tone USP to shoot a non-gang affiliated black kid in the pilot "Unknown Trouble" (S1E01).
In the pilot episode "Unknown Trouble" (S1E01), a Hispanic gang member uses a Smith & Wesson Model 60 in a shooting. The same gang member uses it to shoot Dewey later on in the episode.
A woman pulls what appears to be a Raven Arms MP-25 compact pistol on actor Timmy Davis (Tom Sizemore) in "See the Woman" (S1E03). One is also seen in the opening credits.
In the Season 1 finale "Derailed" (S1E07) one of Marta's bodyguards pulls a SIG Sauer P228 on Marquis. Later in the episode, one of the gangsters sent to Lydia's house uses a nickel P228. He fires a shot at Lydia, but misses and is subsequently killed. Another is briefly seen used by one Marta's men to execute a hitman at the beginning of the episode.
In "Mozambique" (S1E02), the owner of a convenience store holds an unknown pistol on a would-be robber. It appears to have a stainless or nickel finish with black grips.
Several LAPD officers are seen using Remington 870 shotguns, once seen equipped with tactical lights in the pilot episode "Unknown Trouble" (S1E01). They are often seen in the shotgun racks of the police cars and is the standard shotgun for the department. Detective Clarke notably uses a "less lethal" Remington 870 loaded with beanbag ammo in "Mozambique" (S1E02). Detective Adams (Regina King) also carries one during a raid in "Sally in the Alley" (S1E04).
Detective Adams keeps a Winchester Model 1300 "Defender" in a safe in her home. She uses it to shoot the gang members trying to kill a witness in her home in Season 1's "Derailed" (S01E07). It is identified as a Winchester by the magazine cap.
An M16A2 rifle can briefly seen in Season 1's "See the Woman" (S1E03) when Dewey picks up Timmy Davis's M660E3. While difficult to see clearly, it appears to be equipped with M16A1 style handguards, but has an A2 type upper receiver.
Officer Dudek (C. Thomas Howell) uses an M60E3 in Season 1's "See the Woman" (S1E03). When asked how he could own a class-3 firearm, Timmy Davis says the props guy converted it from a semi automatic to fully automatic.
