J. G. Almay (Michael Covino) carries a nickel plated top-break Smith & Wesson revolver.

Exactly the same revolver is seen in ''[[Deadwood: The Movie#Unidentified Smith & Wesson|Deadwood]]'' (2019) which had the same armorer Joey Rocketshoes Dillon. In any case, even the original Model 3 would be too modern a gun for 1870 Texas. | |||

News of the World is a 2020 Western movie directed by Paul Greengrass, based on the 2016 novel by Paulette Jiles, and starring Tom Hanks as Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, a former Confederate officer who meets orphaned girl Johanna (Helena Zengel) and accepts responsibility for taking the girl to her relatives.

J. G. Almay (Michael Covino) carries a nickel plated top-break Smith & Wesson revolver.

Exactly the same revolver is seen in Deadwood (2019) which had the same armorer Joey Rocketshoes Dillon. In any case, even the original Model 3 would be too modern a gun for 1870 Texas.
