Compact top-break revolvers are seen in several episodes. Judging by the shape of the frame, a [[Harrington & Richardson Premier]] seems to be a decent guess (but there was a lot of similar looking top-break revolvers by various manufacturers).

Sherlock Holmes is an American 1954-1955 detective TV series, starring Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes and Howard Marion-Crawford as Dr. John H. Watson. Only several episodes are adapted from Arthur Conan Doyle's works while most have original plots. The series were filmed in France by Guild Films.
The following weapons were used in the television series Sherlock Holmes:
Bulldog-style revolvers are widely used throughout the series, notably by Sherlock Holmes (Ronald Howard) and Dr. John H. Watson (Howard Marion-Crawford). There are several revolvers that differ in details, like fluted and unfluted cylinders.
Webley RIC No. 1 First Pattern revolvers are seen in hands of escaped convict John Norton (Eugene Deckers) in "The Case of the Christmas Pudding" (Ep.23), by Jack Murdock (Eric Micklewood) and Tilda (Rolly Bester) in "The Case of the Violent Suitor" (Ep.25), by J. Oliver's henchman (uncredited) in "The Case of the Baker Street Bachelors" (Ep.33), and by a gambler Herbert Fenwick (Roland Bartrop) in "The Case of the Unlucky Gambler" (Ep.37).
Sherlock Holmes (Ronald Howard) uses a Colt New Army & Navy revolver in "The Red Headed League" (Ep.11) and "The Case of the Thistle Killer" (Ep.18). Same looking revolver are seen in hands of Minnie O'Malley (Lucille Vines) in "The Case of the Texas Cowgirl" (Ep.4); supposedly this is a single prop, reused throughout the series.
A nickel plated Smith & Wesson top-break revolver is used by Uncle Cecil (Duncan Elliott) in "The Case of the Night Train Riddle" (Ep.24). It's hard to indetify the exact model but Smith & Wesson 4th Model seems to be a decent guess.
Double Barreled Shotguns are seen in "The Case of the Greystone Inscription" (Ep.16) and "The Case of the Careless Suffragette" (Ep.20). It is supposed by the same reused prop, and while it's hard to say for sure, this shotgun may be a percussion cap gun.
