| =Pistols=
| |
| ==Colt M1911==
| |
| Eli McCullough ([[Pierce Brosnan]]) carries a [[Colt M1911]] chambered in .45ACP on his right hip, with a double spare magazine pouch on his left. Historically this should be the original 1911 variant as the 1911A1 was not introduced until 1924 (9 years after the events portrayed in the series).

| |
| | |
| ==Colt Model 1903==
| |
| Phineas McCullough ([[David Wilson Barnes]]) carries a [[Colt Model 1903/1908|Colt Model 1903]] in a shoulder holster. A good choice for the character. He is a business man and a gentleman. A compact pistol ,in a discrete/concealable shoulder holster would be more appropriate for the character then a large farmed revolver in a belt holster. It is 1915 so the pistol could be either the Model 1903 or the Model 1908. I have opted for the .32 caliber Model 1903.

| A [[Mauser C96]] is also used by Neptune ([[J. Quinton Johnson]]).

| =Revolvers=
| |
| == Colt 1851 Navy Percussion ==
| |
| [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolvers are used by Texas Rangers.
| |

| == Single Action Army Cavalry Model (7.5" barrel) ==
| |
| Tom Sullivan ([[Matthew Posey]]) carries a Cavalry [[Single Action Army]] with a 7.5" barrel. Additionally there are multiple characters seen with the [[Single Action Army]]. Many of them extras.

| == Smith & Wesson No. 3 Schofield ==
| |
| Pedro Garcia ([[Carlos Bardem]]) appears to be carrying a [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]]. Though only seen holstered the Schofield grip is distinctive.

| |
| | |
| == Smith & Wesson "Triple Lock" ==
| |
| Pete McCullough ([[Henry Garrett]]) is seen with a holstered large framed [[Smith & Wesson 44 Hand Ejector Series#Smith & Wesson .44 Hand Ejector 1st Model "Triple Lock" |Smith & Wesson "Triple Lock" double action revolver]]. This is requiring some deductive reasoning. The story is set in 1915 and the .44 caliber "Triple Lock" was the only large framed double action revolver that Smith & Wesson was making for the commerical market. The company was producing the .455 caliber version for the Canadian Army, but it was not on the market.]]

| =Rifles/Carbines=
| |
| ==Hawken Rifle==
| |
| In the series premiere "First Son of Texas" (S1E01), a young Eli ([[Jacob Lofland]]) carries what appears to be a [[Hawken Rifle]] with an octagonal barrel and double set triggers while fishing. He uses it to hunt a turkey and later defend the homestead.

| |
| | |
| ==Winchester Model 1907==
| |
| Eli McCullough ([[Pierce Brosnan]]) and some of the ranch hands use a self loading [[Winchester Model 1907]] chambered in .351WSL as their primary long guns.

| |
| The carbine version of the [[Winchester Model 1895]] also is seen.
| |
| [[Image:WinchesterModel1895Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Winchester Model 1895 carbine .30 Cal - Commercial. Among the various calibers the 1895 was chambered for was the 30/40 Krag.]]

| |
| Neptune ([[J. Quinton Johnson]]) also uses a [[Winchester Model 1894]]. In addition Pete McCullough ([[Henry Garrett]]) is also seen carrying a [[Winchester Model 1894|Winchester Model 1894 carbine]].

| |
| ==Lewis Gun==
| |
| In "Death Song" (S1E04), Neptune ([[J. Quinton Johnson]]) uses a [[Lewis Gun]] when battling opposing forces at the river. This is a possible anachronism as earnest production on the Lewis gun did not start until late 1914, with adoption by the British military in 1915. Although it is possible that one was being used in Texas in 1915, it is unlikely.
