Unexpected
Mr. Bennet gives one of the guns (which he has holstered) to Isaac in case Peter comes to Isaac's studio. When Isaac asks what he's supposed to do with the gun, Bennet tells him to "save the world". Later, when Peter arrives, Isaac grabs the gun. He points it at Peter who disappears. Isaac shoots the gun blindly, and accidentally shoots Simone in the chest multiple times.
Company Man
In 1992, Sandra Bennet finds her husband's gun and grows suspicious. In 1999, Mr. Bennet shoots Claude after he was noted to be hiding someone with an ability. Thompson shoots Ted, causing Ted to lose control of his power. The Haitian shoots Mr. Bennet, upon his request, to make it seem like he was attacked. This, followed by the Haitian erasing Mr. Bennet's memory, is done to throw off The Company.
Parasite
Mohinder pulls the gun he got from the phony exterminator out of his desk drawer and aims it at Sylar. After stopping to collect spinal fluid, he again takes aim and fires, but Sylar stops the bullet in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Isaac Mendez paints a series of paintings depicting his own death. One shows his gun lying next to his body, just as Hiro found it in the future.

Landslide
After entering the Company facility, Mr. Bennet draws a gun to take out the tracking system. Thompson sees Bennet and Matt on the security system, and prepares to stop the two.

Later, Linderman shoots D.L. Hawkins with yet another of the Company's guns.
How to Stop an Exploding Man
In an alleyway, Peter expresses his concern that he won't be able to control his power. Mr. Bennet shows Peter the gun and tells him he'll take Peter out himself--he's a pretty good shot. Later, as the two men look for Sylar, Mr. Bennet takes the gun out and readies it. At Kirby Plaza, Peter glows radioactively and can't control his power. Mr. Bennet takes the gun and tries shoot Peter, but is unable. He gives the gun to Claire, and at Peter's insistence, aims. Nathan arrives and blocks Claire from shooting his brother.
Notes
- The guns have been customized with at least a custom slide, a double-stack rail frame, and an SV IMM Open pistol extended compensator barrel. The level of customization makes the guns quite unique and recognizable.
- The M1911 was the standard-issue U.S. Armed Forces side arm from 1911 to 1985. The 1911 design has been revived and modernized and is currently being produced by several companies, including Strayer Voigt, Inc., STI International, and Smith & Wesson, as well as countless boutique outfits.
