Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
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).

Sherlock: Don't mention it.
(S1E3)
Two-tone SIG-Sauer P226
A two-tone SIG-Sauer P226 is heavily featured throughout "The Final Problem" (S4E3) in which Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and John Watson (Martin Freeman) is seen handling the SIG extensively throughout the episode.
STI Edge (Cigarette Lighter)
The cabbie (Philip Davis) in S1E1 uses a novelty cigarette lighter disguised as an STI Edge.
Bruni/BBM "ME-8 Police" blank firing gun
At the end of S1E2, General Shan (Sarah Lam) uses a Bruni/BBM "ME-8 Police", an 8mm blank-firing gun modeled after the Walther PPK.
Glock 17
Glock 17 pistols are prominently seen in the hands of CIA agents and Specialist Firearms Officers as their primary firearm. Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Irene Adler (Lara Pulver) are also briefly seen handling captured copies.
Sherlock:"Yes." (the Glock is fired by Sherlock) "On their way!"
Watson: "For God's sake..."
Sherlock: "Oh, shut up, it's quick." (S2E1)
Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) fires Agent Neilson's weapon into the air.
Sherlock:"My hostage!"
Watson:"Hostage, yes. That works."
Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Watson (Martin Freeman) make their escape from police custody after Sherlock disarms a SCO19 officer of his sidearm. (S2E3)
Two-Tone Glock 17
Detective Inspector Lestrade (Rupert Graves) uses a 3rd Generation two-tone Glock 17 at the end of S2E2.
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.
Walther PPK
Mary Watson (Amanda Abbington) is seen using a suppressed Walther PPK to shoot at Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) in Season 3.
SIG Pro SP2022
Eurus Holmes (Sian Brooke) uses a SIG Pro SP2022 to shoot at John Watson (Martin Freeman) in Season 4.

Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless
Professor Moriarty (Andrew Scott) is seen handling a Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless as his sidearm.
Moriarty checks the barrel of his (loaded) revolver for dust - as Sherlock points out, deliberately disregarding his own safety by handling the gun in this way. ("The Abominable Bride", S04E00)
Webley Bulldog
Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman) is seen carrying a Webley Bulldog, however he is not seen firing the weapon in the film.

Remington Rolling Block
In Season 4's finale The Final Problem, a scoped Remington Rolling Block is the weapon used in a murder, which must be solved as one of Eurus's puzzles. Watson is notably seen describing it as a "buffalo rifle", claiming it dates most likely to the 1940's.
