== Colt Police Positive or Colt Official Police ==
In the scene in the court John Talbot ([[Barry Newman]]) disarms a deputy and takes his revolver. It looks like a [[Colt Police Positive]] or a [[Colt Official Police]].

== Unidentified Colt revolver ==
A revolver with typical Colt grip is carried by one of Vyland's henchmen. Only the grip is seen so it's hard to identify the revolver though it can be the same [[Colt Police Positive]] or a [[Colt Official Police]] that was used by Talbot in the beginning of the movie.

== M1911 ==
