The gun's full potential was realized when Texas Rangers on horseback used them to effectively dispatch renegade Indians with them and soon the pistol was a hit. Once the loading lever was added to the design, the gun became much easier to load and even more popular before being phased out by better Colt designs such as the [[Colt Dragoon]] series.<br /> Also used in the WB TV Series Supernatural in many occasions.<br /> ===Film===<br /> <br /> * [[Casey Affleck]] as Robert Ford in ''[[Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, The]]''<br /> <br /> * [[Paul Schneider]] as Dick Liddil in ''[[Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, The]]''<br /> <br /> * [[Barry Corbin]] as Rosco Brown in ''[[Lonesome Dove]]''<br /> <br /> * [[Doug McGrath]] as Spider Conway in ''[[Pale Rider]]''<br /> <br /> ===Television===<br /> <br /> * The Winchester family in the WB series ''[[Supernatural]]''<br /> <br /> [[Category:Gun]]<br /> [[Category:Revolver]]</div>
