Webley .38 Mk IV is the murder weapon in "Ring Out Your Dead" (S5E3). One of its rounds was identified as "Enfield .38", but the shape of the front sight reveals this weapon as a Webley.
In "Four Funerals and a Wedding" (S9E5) Tom Barnaby (John Nettles), who is a guest of honor on the fair in Broughton, fires a blank-firing revolver to start the race. This revolver looks like a converted Webley .38 Mk IV with 4" barrel though it differs in several details including the shape of trigger guard.
Webley .455 Mk VI is seen in "Shot at Dawn" (S11E1) both in the flashback scene that takes place during the WW1 and in modern time. The revolver was carried by Lt. Duggie Hammond (Josh Stanley) in 1916, before being preserved in the Hammond family museum and later used to commit murder. The police expert correctly identified it as "a .455 service revolver produced about 1916".
Blank firing replicas of Quick-Draw Single Action Army revolvers are seen in hands of various participants of Wild West show in "Blood on the Saddle" (S13E3), including Jack Fincher (David Rintoul) and Faye Lennox (Emma Cooke). In the final scene Det. Sgt. Ben Jones (Jason Hughes) loads one of these revolvers with a live .44-40 rifle cartridge and fires it (a technically impossible feat).
In the final scene Adam Burbage (Daniel Ryan), finally going crazy, imagines himself as Billy the Kid and Tom Barnaby as Wyatt Earp. "Wyatt Earp" (also played by John Nettles) carries two nickel plated Quick-Draw SAA revolvers with pearl grips.
Adam Burbage (Daniel Ryan) carries a Cavalry Single Action Army revolver both during the Wild West show and in the showdown. His revolver fires live ammunition. Adam's revolver is incorrectly called "Buntline" in one scene.
