| == Griswold & Gunnison==
| | '''''Hell on Wheels''''' is a television Western series that focuses on the people involved with the construction of the First Transcontinental Railroad across the United States. The series, which premiered in 2011 in the US on the [[AMC]] network, stars [[Anson Mount]], [[Common]], and [[Colm Meaney]]. The series aired for 57 episodes until 2016. |
| Former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon ([[Anson Mount]]) carries a Confederate-made [[Griswold & Gunnison Revolver]], by which he is recognized in "Pilot" (S1E01). The correct Griswold & Gunnison is visible for a split second at 34:20 in Episode 3, "A New Birth of Freedom." In some scenes, he uses a brass-framed copy of the 1860 Colt Army revolver, a weapon which did not exist until the Italians started making them during the 1960s. The rebated cylinder and 1860-type loading lever can be seen in several episodes, especially the one where he lends it to the ex-slave and teaches him to shoot.

| == Colt 1860 Army==
| | '''The following lists the seasons of the series ''Hell on Wheels'':''' |
| During the opening credits sequence, Bohannon is seen with a [[Colt 1860 Army]] instead of his usual Griswold & Gunnison. The 1860 was the most common handgun in the United States at the time, most had a brass trigger guard (see photo), they were not manufactured with a brass frame like the Griswold above. The brass framed pistol Bohannon uses in the opening episode is neither an 1860 nor a Griswold but is an amalgam reproduction that was likely used as a stop gap piece for filming.

| ==Remington 1858 New Model Army==
| | <gallery> |
| Former Union soldier Daniel Johnson ([[Ted Levine]]) carries a [[Remington 1858 New Army]] in "Pilot" (S1E01). This gun appears to be a modern and unauthentic replica, known as "Texas Model", because brass-framed Remingtons were never manufactured.

| ==Sharps 1874==
| | [[Category:Disambiguation pages]] |
| In the episode 4 of the second season Bohannon shoots a railroad worker tortured by the Sioux with this rifle. He calls it the long rifle. This is again a problem of dating since the railroad was completed in 1869 and the 1874 model came . . . well . . . later.

| ==Winchester 1866 "Yellowboy"==
| |
| Prevalent in many scenes, especially "Timshel" (Season 1, Episode 9), this weapon, while period correct, would not have been issued to the US Cavalry as portrayed in the show.
