== Griswold & Gunnison==
Former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon ([[Anson Mount]]) carries a Confederate-made [[Griswold & Gunnison Revolver]], by which he is recognized in "Pilot" (S1E01). The correct Griswold & Gunnison is visible for a split second at 34:20 in Episode 3, "A New Birth of Freedom." In some scenes, he uses a brass-framed copy of the 1860 Colt Army revolver, a weapon which did not exist until the Italians started making them during the 1960s. The rebated cylinder and 1860-type loading lever can be seen in several episodes, especially the one where he lends it to the ex-slave and teaches him to shoot.

== Colt 1860 Army==
During the opening credits sequence, Bohannon is seen with a [[Colt 1860 Army]] instead of his usual Griswold & Gunnison. The 1860 was the most common handgun in the United States at the time, most had a brass trigger guard (see photo), they were not manufactured with a brass frame like the Griswold above. The brass framed pistol Bohannon uses in the opening episode is neither an 1860 nor a Griswold but is an amalgam reproduction that was likely used as a stop gap piece for filming.

==Remington 1858 New Model Army==
Former Union soldier Daniel Johnson ([[Ted Levine]]) carries a [[Remington 1858 New Army]] in "Pilot" (S1E01). This gun appears to be a modern and unauthentic replica, known as "Texas Model", because brass-framed Remingtons were never manufactured.

==Sharps 1874==
In "Scabs" (S2E04), Bohannon uses a a "long rifle" to shoot a railroad worker tortured by the Sioux. The rifle seen appears to be a [[Sharps 1874]] fitted with a Malcolm-style scope, which is again a problem of dating since the railroad was completed in 1869 and the 1874 model came . . . well . . . later.

==Winchester 1866 "Yellowboy"==
The [[Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"]] rifle is prevalent in many episodes, especially in "Timshel" (S1E09). The rifle, while period correct, would not have been issued to the US Cavalry as portrayed in the series.
