Lonesome Dove is the groundbreaking 1989 television Western miniseries that was based on the novel of the same name by Larry McMurtry. The miniseries, which was directed by Simon Wincer, starred Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall. The miniseries would spawn several additional sequels, including 1993's Return To Lonesome Dove.
The following weapons were used in the miniseries Lonesome Dove:
Colt Walker 1847
A Colt Walker 1847 with a cartridge conversion kit is carried by Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) throughout the four part film.
Henry 1860
Both Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) and Woodrow F. Call (Tommy Lee Jones) carry Henry 1860 rifles, and use them in all four parts of the film.
Colt 1860 Army
Several characters keep Colt 1860 Army revolvers as their sidearms, including Woodrow Call (Tommy Lee Jones), Newt Dobbs (Rick Schroder), and Joshua Deets (Danny Glover).
Colt 1860 Cartridge Conversion
Pea Eye (Timothy Scott), carries a Colt 1860 Cartridge Conversion. It's difficult to tell if it's a Richards Conversion or not.
Single Action Army
Many characters in the film carry Single Action Army revolvers including July Johnson (Chris Cooper) and Blue Duck (Frederic Forrest)
In Part 2, one of the robbers is seen using the 10" "Buntline Special" Single Action Army with a nickel finish when he and his partner try to rob Rosco Brown (Barry Corbin).
10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
One of the robbers who goes by Hutto (Jordan Lund) who holds up Rosco Brown (Barry Corbin) is armed with a 10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun. He even claims it is a 10 Gauge and asks his partner to shoot him so he won't tear up his clothes with the shotgun blast.
Chamelot-Delvigne Mle. 1873
Hutto (Jordan Lund) also has a Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 revolver on a lanyard loop, worn on his neck like a necklace.
Colt Paterson 1836
Rosco Brown (Barry Corbin) carries a Colt Paterson 1836 revolver in Part 1 and 2.
Remington 1875
Jake Spoon (Robert Urich) carries a brass framed Remington 1875 with pearl grips as his sidearm in Part 1, 2, and 3.
Remington 1875 Carbine
The leader of the bank robbers Dan Suggs (Gavan O'Herlihy) in part three carries a Remington 1875 with a 16" barrel and a full stock, making it heavily resemble a Remington 1858 "Cattleman's Carbine".
Colt Lightning 1877
Dan Suggs (Gavan O'Herlihy) also carries a Colt Lightning 1877 revolver, which he uses to finish off Frog Lip (Julius Tennon) after he is wounded trying to steal horses and then uses it to kill two farmers they come across.
Sharps 1874 Cavalry Carbine
Blue Duck (Frederic Forrest) and some of the Indians who travel with him carry Sharps 1874 Cavalry Carbines.
Sharps 1874 Long Range
One of Blue Duck's thugs fires shots at Gus (Robert Duvall) while he takes cover behind his horse in Part 2, using a Sharps 1874 Long Range rifle fitted with a telescopic sight.
Winchester 1873
Several characters in the film carry Winchester 1873 rifles, most notably Woodrow F. Call (Tommy Lee Jones) in Part 4.
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" rifles are seen often in the film.
Colt New Service
One of Blue Duck's thugs firing at Gus McGrae (Robert Duvall) in Part 2 is seen using a Colt New Service revolver, which is extremely anachronistic for the time, but is typically used by actors who cannot fire a single action gun fast enough for film standards.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
The first Mexican cook of the group, Bolivar, carries a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun in Part 1 and 2. Guards outside Blue Duck's (Frederic Forrest) jail cell in Part 4 also carry shotguns.
Trapdoor Springfield 1873 Cavalry Carbine
One of the bank robbers in Part 3 uses a Trapdoor Springfield 1873 Cavalry Carbine, and hands it to Jake Spoon (Robert Urich) to use during a robbery, but he never fires a shot.
Remington Rolling Block
Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) uses a militarized Remington Rolling Block as a crutch to walk on when his leg is shot up with poisoned arrows in Part 4.
Unknown Rifle
In Part 3, Big Zwey (Frederick Coffin) uses an unknown rifle to hunt buffalo, before returning to beat Luke (Steve Buscemi) for making advances on "his woman".
Special: "Uva Uvam Vivendo Varia Fit"
Famous to all who have seen the film, Gus comically added this Latin phrase to his sign without any idea as to what it says. Call asks "What if it's an invitation to rob you?" and he replies, "If any man can read that, he's welcome to." While the translation is impossible to translate exactly, the basic translation most people agree on is "A grape changes color (ripens) when it sees another grape."
