I don't know what the hell he's talking about here. The gun in question is definitely a Single Action Army, given the lack of the large underbarrel triangle thing that comes standard on both original and Uberti reproductions. It could be possible that it was a Remington 1890 but that's almost identical to the Single Action Army from most angles except the grips. --[[User:PaperCake|PaperCake]] 17:04, 19 September 2017 (EST) | |||
Latest revision as of 21:04, 19 September 2017
You missed one gun the "AUTO AND BURGLAR" it was also in the movie for about three frames
Looks like a modern 22 revolver. One of those belt buckle guns. New England arms? you mean north american arms and thats not it because those have cylinders but i agree wit GM but there are #4 versions which they probably used because they take a .22 short and the #4 model is alot cheaper than a real one -I agree, they look like Colt #4.
If you look closer at Will's pistol you can see that there are no slots for the percussion caps so i would suggest that it's a different model
Anachronism

Ted Levine 1875 Remington Outlaw
Received the following email, can anyone else confirm? --bunni (talk) 16:17, 19 September 2017 (EDT)
The Firearm used by Ted Levine (aka, General Bloodbath McGrath) in the Movie Wild Wild West. In the picture on your Website, Levine is pointing his 1875 Remington Outlaw at Ken Brannagh who is obviously in his wheelchair. The caption labels this firearm as an 1873 Colt SAA. It is not. It is an 1875 Remington Outlaw!
