I'm going to go with this is a belgian folding trigger revolver or pinfire revolver. Though there is another folding grip and folding trigger vest type revolver out there it could be but the name is eluding me.~Pawnstar | |||

Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following guns were used in the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie:
NOTE: This is a work in progress that likely won't be complete until DVD/Blu-Ray release. Amongst those weapons still to do are the police sidearms (which ought to be Webley Metropolitan Police models), Le Strade's lever-action shotgun (IIRC) and Holmes' efforts at a suppressed large-caliber revolver (which also looked suspiciously Webley-like).
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW!
Webley revolvers
Characters in the film employ Webley Bulldogs. Based upon their short 2.5" barrels and lack of a rammer/ejector, those wielded by Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) and American Ambassador Standish are most likely to be No.3 'R.I.C.' models in .442 calibre.
We get a much clearer view of Holmes' (Robert Downey Jr.) revolver, which closely matches the late-model .360 (or .38) calibre No.5 'Express' with its longer 4" barrel, deep cylinder, and contoured frame at the lower front. It has a bud-shaped swivel-type rammer, squared-off butt with lanyard ring, fluted cylinder, and a polished (if not stainless) steel finish.
Unknown Shotgun
In the carriage in the beginning, a guard is briefy seen loading a shotgun. Based on how he loads the shell into the shotgun, the shotgun might be a Winchester Model 1887.
Unidentified pocket revolver
Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) uses a pocket revolver of relatively large caliber, with open top and spur trigger, as seen in the promotional still below. (Possibly, given her nationality, a Smith & Wesson?) I'm going to go with this is a belgian folding trigger revolver or pinfire revolver. Though there is another folding grip and folding trigger vest type revolver out there it could be but the name is eluding me.~Pawnstar
C. Sharps Pepperbox
Professor Moriarty is seen deploying, from a concealed wrist-mounted rig, a (probably reproduction) C. Sharps patent Model 1A four-barreled pepperbox type pistol in .22 rimfire with engraved brass frame
Howdah Pistol
The Home Secretary, Lord Coward has a large-caliber (most likely .577) centerfire Howdah Pistol by one of the usual makers (e.g. famed shotgun makers Purdey).
