The Abominable Bride
The following weapons were used in the television series Sherlock:
Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman) owns a SIG-Sauer P226R pistol, in which Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) occasionally uses the weapon. Given Watson's military background, the weapon is likely meant as a stand-in for the SIG-Sauer L105A2, the British Army's service pistol issued to medics. Aside form the main characters, the same prop also shows up on several occasions in the hands of minor characters.
Note: Owing 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. Yet, it is never explained how Watson manage to keep hold of his service piece and ammunition without being noticed, as British soldiers are not allowed to keep their service weapons after they are discharged.

STI Edge (Cigarette Lighter)
The cabbie (Philip Davis) in S1E1 uses a novelty cigarette lighter disguised as an STI Edge.
A number of Glock 17 pistols are prominently seen in the hands of CIA agents and armed police officers in Season 2.

Two-Tone Glock 17
Detective Inspector Lestrade (Rupert Graves) uses a 3rd Generation two-tone Glock 17 at the end of S2E2.
Henry Knight (Russell Tovey) uses a Beretta 92FS Inox in S2E2 when he thinks that the gigantic hound is outside his home. Judging from the color and reflectivity of the finish, this is likely the Tokyo Marui airsoft replica of the 92FS Inox. Moriarty also uses a 92FS Inox during the second season finale.
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.
Various old-fashioned revolvers show up in "The Abominable Bride", a prequel episode to Season 4 taking place in 1895, as the primary firearm carried by both protagonists and antagonists.
