Sherlock Holmes (2009)


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 (including Le Strade's) and Holmes' efforts at a suppressed large-calibre revolver.

Webley 'Bulldog' revolvers

Many characters in the film employ short-barrelled, birds-head stocked revolvers of the 'Bulldog' type made famous by Webley (and therefore most likely in .455 calibre). Most, like Watson's and the American ambassador's, have the straightforward pull-out cylinder arbor without ejector, whereas Holmes' incorporates a swivel-type rod stored within the arbor. Other details of Holmes' personal weapon include a fluted cylinder, full-length grip, and a polished (if not stainless) steel finish - coincidentally much like an example on display at the Sherlock Holmes museum in London (see external links).

These Bulldogs could be by any number of British, Belgian, or other makers (assuming they are not modern reproductions).

Unidentified pocket revolver

Irene Adler uses a pocket revolver of relatively large calibre, with open top and spur trigger, as seen in the promotional still below. Possibly, given her nationality, a Smith and Wesson?
