The following weapons can be seen in Season 5 of the series Southland:

Handguns

Glock 22

Officer Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) continues to carry the .40 caliber Glock 22 (which is the standard-issue handgun for the LAPD). Other officers and detectives also carry the Glock 22, including Det. Ruben Robinson (Dorian Missick), Officer Dave Mendoza (Chad Michael Murray), and Officer Gary Steele (Derek Ray).

In "Hats and Bats" (S5E01), Officer Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) draws the Glock 22 on a shooting suspect.

Beretta 92FS

Several LAPD officers and detectives carry the Beretta 92FS as their sidearm, including Officer Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy), Officer Bill "Dewey" Dudek (C. Thomas Howell), Sergeant Hill (Jamie McShane), Sergeant Waters (Lesley Fera), and Officer Hank Lucero (Anthony Ruivivar). In "Babel" (S5E03), Bryant uses his Beretta to trade fire with an active shooter and later bring the shooter down aside fellow officers. Lucero uses his Beretta in a felony stop (inspired by an episode of COPS), with the hammer cocked back in single-action, which most officers refrain from using unless they are already engaged with their weapon in a gunfight.

Officer Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy) draws his Beretta on a shooting suspect in "Hats and Bats" (S5E01).

In "Babel" (S5E03), Officer Hank Lucero (Anthony Ruivivar) draws his Beretta on a suspect digging around in his car during a traffic stop gone bad. Shortly after this, he cocks the hammer, which real officers usually refrain from doing unless they have already fired their weapon.

Smith & Wesson 5906

Officer John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) continues to carry the Smith & Wesson 5906 as his duty sidearm. This weapon is on the LAPD approved carry list. In "Heat" (S5E02), Cooper is seen using his 5906 to trade shots with a suspect who fired on him and Steele.

Notice the motto "to serve and protect" on the door; this is a fictitious slogan based on the LAPD's actual motto, "to protect and to serve". This is one of the few subtleties on the show to prevent the actors from being mistaken as actual police officers.

"Steele!" Cooper keeps his Smith & Wesson 5906 trained on the downed suspect as he checks on his partner in "Heat" (S5E02).

In the episode "Off-Duty" (S5E05), he draws it while working his second job as a celebrity bodyguard to defend himself and his client against a crazed suspect firing at vehicles in the street. He doesn't fire the weapon in the scene.

Shotguns

Remington 870 Police Riot Magnum

The Remington 870 Police Riot Magnum is the standard shotgun used by the LAPD in the series. In Season 5's premiere "Hats and Bats" (S5E01), an officer responding to a riot situation carries the modified Remington loaded with non-lethal beanbag rounds. In "Babel" (S5E03), an officer uses a live Remington 870 to volley-fire at an active shooter with Officers Sherman and Bryant when the shooter returns to the scene.

Remington 870 Police Riot - 12 Gauge

In Season 5's premiere "Hats and Bats" (S5E01), an officer responding to a riot situation carries the modified Remington 870 loaded with non-lethal beanbag rounds (as evidenced by its green synthetic furniture).

Officer Cooper holds the modified Remington 870 in "Babel" (S5E03).

In the episode "Babel" (S5E03), the officer on the far right fires a volley of shots from a Remington 870 at an active shooter.

Mossberg 500 Cruiser

In "Babel" (S5E03), what appears to be a Mossberg 500 Cruiser with an extended mag tube is used by a white supremacist to perform an active shooter-style attack on an ESL support group at an LA community center. He fires the weapon in close proximity to Officer Sherman's ear when he blows a shot through an exterior doorway, temporarily deafening Sherman. The shooter escapes the scene, but later returns with the same Mossberg and fires it at the crowd of LAPD officers and civilians.

Mossberg 500 Cruiser with extended magazine tube and heat shield - 12 Gauge

In "Babel" (S5E03), an active shooter fires his Mossberg 500 Cruiser in close proximity to Officer Sherman's ear, causing temporary hearing loss. This is very likely a non-gun to ensure the actor's safety, as the shotgun has no recoil when fired.

In "Babel" (S5E03), the shooter later returns with the same Mossberg shotgun and fires two shots at the crowd of LAPD officers and civilians before being shot in a volley of gunfire from officers. Note the red shell being ejected to the left of the shot.
