Dexter

Dexter is an American crime drama mystery television series that aired on Showtime from October 1, 2006, to September 22, 2013. Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a forensic technician specializing in bloodstain pattern analysis for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department, who leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers who have slipped through the cracks of the justice system. The show's first season was derived from the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter (2004), the first in a series of novels by Jeff Lindsay. It was adapted for television by James Manos Jr., who wrote the first episode. Dexter himself rarely uses a firearm, preferring knives and saws in addition to his own formulated knockout injection.

=Pistols=
== Glock 17 ==
The Glock 17, referred throughout the show as a "9 mm", is the primary sidearm of most of the Miami Metro PD detectives in the Homicide division, including Lt. Maria LaGuerta (Lauren Velez), Det. Joey Quinn (Desmond Harrington), and - in Season 1 only - Sgt. James Doakes (Erik King). In Season 2, FBI agents, including Special Agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine), carry Glock 17s when searching the railroad tracks in "Dex, Lies, and Videotape" (2.06).

== Walther PPK ==
In the flashback when young Dexter goes hunting with his father in "Popping Cherry" (1.03), they are choosing guns from Harry's gun case. Dexter picks up a Walther PPK, which he refers to this as a 9mm, indicating it's in .380 ACP (9mm kurz). Officer Zoey Kruger uses a stainless PPK when she breaks into Dexter's house, another is seen in a file photo from when her family was murdered. Christine Hill (Courtney Ford) uses a stainless PPK.
== Beretta 8000 Cougar==
Detective Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) carried a Beretta 8000 Cougar as her duty sidearm during Season 2, notably seen in "Waiting to Exhale", "Left Turn Ahead", and "The British Invasion".
== Kimber TLE/RL Custom II ==
Former U.S. Special Forces operator Curtis Barnes (John Marshall Jones) draws a Kimber TLE Custom II on Doakes in "See-Through" (2.04).
== Beretta 92FS ==
The Beretta 92FS is also a common service pistol of the Miami Metro PD Homicide Division, carried by Sgt. Doakes (Erik King) in the second season and Det. Angel Batista (David Zayas) throughout the show. Batista always carried a standard 92FS with the exception of the second season, when he carried a two-tone model.
== Colt Officer's ACP ==
Dexter finds killer Ken Olson's (Silas Weir Mitchell) gun collection in "Dex, Lies, and Videotape" (2.06), consisting of two small pistols including a Colt Officer's ACP and a Heckler & Koch USP Compact.
== Glock 26 ==
Dexter finds killer Ken Olson's (Silas Weir Mitchell) gun collection in "Dex, Lies, and Videotape" (2.06), consisting of two small pistols including a Colt Officer's ACP and a two-tone Glock 26. Detective Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) carries from Season 3 onwards as her duty sidearm. Officer Cira Manzon (April Hernandez Castillo) uses a Glock 26 with a stainless steel slide. A undercover FBI Agent carries a Glock 26 while escorting Jonah Mitchell.
== Beretta 92FS Inox ==
Santos Jiminez (Tony Amendola), the cocaine-dealing tavern owner who killed Dexter's mother, carries a Beretta 92FS Inox in his waistband in "Morning Comes" (2.08). Sgt. Doakes' Jericho 941 in "Resistance is Futile" (2.09) becomes a Beretta 92FS Inox in close-up when it is fired at Dexter's leg.
==Jericho 941R==
Sgt. Doakes (Erik King) carries his personal weapon, a stainless Jericho 941 R, when he confronts Dexter at the Everglades in "Resistance is Futile" (2.09). Seeing as Doakes had to turn in his duty Beretta 92FS when he was suspended in a previous episode, it is likely that the Jericho 941 R is his personal weapon.
==M1911A1==
A standard M1911A1 is seen in the Miami Metro PD storage room when Dexter talks to Deb in "There's Something About Harry" (2.10).
== Heckler & Koch USP ==
Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), who is rarely seen handling guns, uses a two-tone Heckler & Koch USP in "Left Turn Ahead" (2.11), taken from the corpse of cocaine dealer Esteban Famosa (Gilbert Saldivar) and used by Dexter to shoot and kill Esterban's brother Teo in the only shooting death caused by Dexter.

== Kimber Ultra Carry Crimson II ==
ADA Miguel Prado (Jimmy Smits) is seen using a subcompact 1911-style pistol, most likely a Kimber Ultra Carry Crimson II during the climax of "Finding Freebo", judging by the sights and the two-tone finish. 
== Glock 19 ==
Officer Zoey Kruger used a 2nd Generation Glock 19 as her duty sidearm, notably seen when she pulled it on Dexter in "Dex Takes a Holiday" (Ep. 4.04).
== Makarov PM ==
Russian Mob boss Isaak Sirko (Ray Stevenson) keeps a Makarov PM handy for his dirty work. He pulls the Makarov from the glove box of his car and chambers a round as he prepares to hunt down Dexter in “Swim Deep” (7.05)

In a flashback in "It's Alive!" (2.01), a young Dexter is seen firing a stainless Colt Python, which he intends to take on a boar-hunting trip, at the shooting range with his father Harry (James Remar). When Harry tells Dexter they have to go, Dexter refuses and, during a struggle, the gun goes off, narrowly missing Harry. Note that when the weapon is fired at Harry, a spent shell casing can be heard hitting the ground even though the weapon is a revolver.
== Smith & Wesson Model 629 Competitor ==
