==Single Action Army==

Everett Hitch ([[Viggo Mortensen]]) carries a [[Colt 1871-72 Open Top|Colt 1871-72 Open Top .44 Caliber Revolver]] as his sidearm in the film.

==Steve Karnes 1878 Shotgun==
Everett Hitch ([[Viggo Mortensen]]) carries an 8 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun in the film, referred to only as "The 8 Gauge" in the dialogue. To handle the vicious recoil of the massive weapon, Everett has a leather pad sewn into the shoulder of his coat to help absorb it. Since the only existing 8 Gauges today are antiques and are unsafe or too expensive to fire, an ingenious alternative was made. Armorer and gunsmith [[User:Phoenixent|Steve Karnes]] built three "8 Gauges" for Gibbons Ltd. out of reproduction [[Colt 1878]] shotguns, two of which fired 12 Gauge blanks with 8 Gauge sleeves over the barrels to increase the bore diameter and hide its real caliber, while one was built to chamber 8 Gauge inert rounds for scenes in which the gun was loaded, as the size between 8 and 12 Gauge is far too different for no one to notice. To see more on the production of the shotguns, visit the [[SK 1878 shotgun]] page, with actual information and images by Steve Karnes.
