Revolvers
Webley revolvers
Webley Revolvers are seen in hands of various characters. A Webley is the murder weapon in "Fifty Ships" (S2E1). Both Webley .38 Mk IV and Webley .455 Mk VI are used. It's not always possible to determine exactly what model is used.
Webley Mk. VI - .455 Webley

James Collier's Webley is .455 Mk VI.
Colt New Service
A Colt New Service is used by Simon Walker (Laurence Fox) in "War Games" (S2E3). Its shape allows to make a guess that it is a British-used revolver in .455 Webley.

Pistols
M1911-style
An M1911-style pistol is carried by a Secret Service agent John Bishop (Guy Henry) in "Fifty Ships" (S2E1). This pistol seems to have a shorter barrel than a standard M1911, like the Colt Commander, but this could be a mere optical illusion.
