The following weapons can be seen in the television series Criminal Minds:

Criminal Minds (2005-????)


Glock 17

Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) carries a Glock 17 with a SureFire X400 attachment. Agents Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) and Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) are frequently seen with standard Glock 17's. 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. In the ongoing sixth season, Morgan is now seen carrying a SIG-Sauer P226.

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. It is mentioned that Rossi also served in the U.S. Marine Corps, which also possibly helps explain his use of a 1911-type pistol.

SIG-Sauer P226

Agent Jason Gideon (Mandy Patinkin) carries a SIG-Sauer P226 during the seasons he was in. 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. Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) switches to a SIG-Sauer P226 which he is seen carrying in the ongoing sixth season.

Smith & Wesson Model 65

Agent Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) switches to a 3" barrel Smith & Wesson Model 65 with wood-colored grips in Season 4. He still carries his sidearm in a manner where 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.

AR-15/M4 Carbine Variants

  • FBI HRT teams and several local police forces have M4A1 carbines.
  • A militia member is seen with one holding a hostage on a hilltop. 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.
  • A shooter uses a scoped AR-15 from the trunk of a car, aiming to wound people so he can attend to the wounds as part of a hero complex reminiscent of D.C. sniper incident.

AKMSU

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.

And Back", a former U.S. Army Sergeant named 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.

Colt Official Police

Reid's captor 'Tobias' (James Van Der Beek) uses a Colt Official Police to taunt Reid with a Russian-roulette like game several times in the episode "Revelations". Reid gets ahold of the gun in a struggle and is forced to kill his captor when his evil personality attacks Reid. In the Season 1 Episode "Somebody's Watching", a female serial killer and stalker named Maggie wields what appears to be another Colt Official Police against Lila Archer (Amber Heard), who is being protected by Reid. Reid also gets ahold of this weapon in a struggle and holds it on Maggie.

Glock 26

Hotchner's (Thomas Gibson) backup gun for his Glock 17 pistol is a Glock 26 pistol, carried in an ankle holster. 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. SSA Jennifer 'J.J.' Jareau (A.J. Cook) also carries a Glock 26 as her duty weapon. In the episode "Penelope", Morgan removes a Glock 26 from an ankle holster and gives it to Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) to defend herself when an unsub (later identified as Jason Clark Battle (Bailey Chase)) comes to her apartment trying to kill her after failing the first time. She thankfully does not need to use the weapon however, Battle fleeing after a short firefight with Morgan.

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 opening episode "Nameless, Faceless", 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.
