Holmes & Watson is a 2018 American-Canadian mystery comedy directed by Etan Cohen and starring Will Ferrell as Sherlock Holmes and John C. Reilly as Dr. Watson. This incredibly non-canon version of the adventures of Holmes and Watson was nominated for six Golden Raspberry Award (2019) and won four of them, for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Supporting Actor, and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off or Sequel.
The following weapons were used in the film Holmes & Watson:

Colt Official Police or Army Special
During the incident with a telegraph operator Watson draws a different revolver that appears to be a Colt Official Police or, judging by the matte blue finish, a Colt Army Special.

Half-drunk Watson threatens a telegraph operator with his revolver.
Colt-style cylinder release is seen.

Webley .38 Mk IV Pocket Model
In the scene that depicts Holmes' deduction about the personality of the villain, Mrs. Martha Hudson (Kelly Macdonald) holds a Pocket model of Webley .38 Mk IV revolver with pearl grips (of course, not fitting for 1881 when the story is set). Similar revolver is seen in hands of one of Mrs. Hudson's henchmen, "Charlie Chaplin" (Paul Cassidy).

Rifles
