Bead sight on the 1878
It is very possible that the armorer for the film installed that bead sight. It's just a matter of drilling and tapping, it's not difficult to do, I've installed bead sights myself at home.--James3 14:38, 9 September 2011 (CDT)
The unknown pistol with the lanyard ring from one of the deputies in Contention could be this 1890 SA http://www.cimarron-firearms.com/Specialty/1875Outlaw-Model1890.htm
I'm pretty sure it's a S&W No.3. It's the right general size and shape, and importantly the rib above the barrel is clear. The Russian model at least had a lanyard ring, and I think of that sub-triangular shape also. --94.14.14.133 13:31, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Is this film a good western?
Pretty much what the title says. I've kinda been craving good western films lately, and I wanted to know if this one was good, or if anyone had any suggestions. Acora 05:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Ejector rod
A comment made in this article states that no actor knows of or how to use the ejector rod. The movie Appaloosa shows that both Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris, know of and use the ejector rod. --Damocles1 15:29, 18 March 2011 (CDT)
- It was a generalizing comment more so than stating a fact. In lots of westerns the actors are not seen using the ejector rod, instead shaking the guns to drop out the shells.
