Trivia:
Almost every single member of the BAU team uses a Glock pistol. Morgan and Hotch use a Glock 22, and carry a Glock 27 backup on their ankles. Morgan also opts for a tactical illumination attachment on his Glock 22 model. Reid uses a Glock 22 until early season four where he trades it in for a silver .38 Smith 65 3' revolver. Prentiss uses a Glock 23, while JJ uses a Glock 27, both of which were specified in a TV Guide Network tour of the props department. Jason Gideon used an older version standard Federal issue Sig Sauer P226 and David Rossi uses his own personal Springfield .45 caliber handgun. more

Diving into minds of lunatics and psychopaths has never been more entertaining!, 10 April 2006
Author: hippo_butt2000 from Malaysia

Truly a great series worthy of praise. Many may say that this is a 'rip-off' of CSI but I've watched CSI and it caught me on for a bit, but after a while it just seemed to closed. Where CSI guides you through the story and gives a picture perfect ending and how you're supposed to perceive it, Criminal Minds lets you explore and judge for yourself. It doesn't preach too much and the stories are engaging and suspenseful! Excellent writing and great performances from the stars. It may begin cliché, but if you stay long enough it is a rewarding and entertaining view, and I don't feel it's going to let down any time soon. Give it a chance, or just watch episode 7 'The Fox'. It shows the best writing and acting in the show so far, in my opinion. Diving into minds of lunatics and psychopaths has never been more entertaining! Fantastic!
