Pistols

SIG-Sauer P226R

In the series, Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman) is seen with a SIG-Sauer P226R as his primary weapon, in which Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) occasionally uses the pistol. The same handgun also shows up on several occasions in the hands of other characters.

Trivia: Given Watson's military background, it's possible the P226R is meant to represent the SIG-Sauer L105A2, which was the British Army's standard issue sidearm at the time the first two seasons were filmed (currently being phased out in favor of the Glock 17). This would be unrealistic however, as modern British soldiers are required to surrender their weapons upon discharge from service. If Watson kept and used his P226R, he would be in possession of an illegal firearm.

Note: Due to the strict firearms controls in the UK and the reduced insurance cost during filming, the Tokyo Marui P226R airsoft pistol was used as a stand-in, hence why the finish and markings are mismatched (shown quite plainly in several screenshots below).

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS is a prominent weapon featured in S4E1, used by John Watson (Martin Freeman), Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), Mary Watson (Amanda Abbington) and a police officer in Morroco. Ajay (Sacha Dhawan) uses it as his personal sidearm.

Beretta 92FS Inox

Henry Knight (Russell Tovey) uses a Beretta 92FS Inox in S2E2 when he thinks that the gigantic hound is outside his home. The pistol is also seen briefly handled by Watson (Martin Freeman). Moriarty (Andrew Scott) also uses a 92FS Inox during the second season finale, however there is no indication that Moriarty normally carries a gun with himself, and he may have just been carrying it for encountering Sherlock.

Note: Owing to the strict firearms controls in the UK and the reduced insurance cost during filming, the Tokyo Marui airsoft replica of the 92FS Inox was used as a stand-in prop, as with the aforementioned P226 used by the main characters, judging from the color and reflectivity of the finish.

M1911A1

A hitman disguised as a repair man in S2E3 has a suppressed M1911A1 pistol stored in his tool box. Judging from the markings and the screws in the slide, this is likely a blank-firing replica.
