Firefly
Firefly was a science fiction series that aired for one season from 2002-2003 on the FOX network. Created by Joss Whedon, the series starred Nathan Fillion as the captain of a firefly class spaceship known as "Serenity", whose crew travels through a distant solar system making a rough living on frontier planets while fighting various adversaries. The series mixed the "space opera" genre with certain elements of the Western, thus the mix of American Western weaponry with the more modern firepower. The series' plot would continue in the 2005 feature film Serenity.
The following guns were used in the television series Firefly:
Handguns
Mal's Sidearm (Modified Taurus 85)
The signature pistol of Captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) in the series is a Taurus Model 85 revolver completely covered by a brass casting to make it resemble a semi-auto handgun. The look of the weapon was based on the Volcanic repeaters used in the Civil War as explained by Firefly creator Joss Whedon in the visual companion book of the series. In the Firefly universe, the gun is a "Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B". The same prop gun was used for the feature Serenity, but given to a new prop house who made the magazine straight on the bottom, and bulked up the right side plate and added a spring loaded rear sight. It was then held by Fillion in his current series Castle.
LeMat Revolver
Jayne Cobb (Adam Baldwin) also carries a custom sidearm, which is a visually modified single-action LeMat Revolver.

Desert Eagle Mark VII
In Objects in Space, River gets hold of a nickel-plated Desert Eagle Mark VII, fully loaded and safety off, but no round chambered as Mal had confirmed. It was never fully explained how she obtained it, as it was supposedly locked in Jayne's (Adam Baldwin) room.

Flux Colt XM177E2
The Flux Colt XM177E2 shown has A2 sights, a delta ring retaining the hand guards, A2 re-inforcements on the lower, a 5.5" flash suppressor, and a round forward assist so it's not the 1960's vintage XM carbine in the title but closer to a cobbled together '90s carbine like this one

Jayne's (Adam Baldwin) Guns
Need ID'ing (all of them)
Ruger MkIII, Jericho 941 w/ a stainless finish, some FABARM shotgun, I think that the closest handgun is a Springfield XD, one of his many shotguns is a Winchester 1300.
The farthest gun, based on the muzzle break thing looks like VERA to me. The closest gun, to me, looks like a Ruger semi-auto. A p-89 maybe. I also see a Ithaca stakeout with a pistol grip in there.
Wildey Magnum, a Mossberg Persuader of some sort, A Blaser R93, 37mm Tru-Flite Police Tear Gas Gun appears again in the centre, I think I see a Smith and Wesson 629 Performance Center model,
Savage with a Choate stock?
