Colt 1860 Army

Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) continues to use a Colt 1860 Army as his primary sidearm in "Viva La Mexico" (S2E01) as he did for much of the first season. However, after he is captured, and subsequently released by the US Army, he switches to a Remington 1858 New Army for the remainder of the season.

Gregory Toole (Duncan Ollerenshaw) also uses a one in "Blood Moon" (S2E09). 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 originally manufactured with a brass frame.

+Cullen Bohannon ([[Anson Mount]]) continues to use a [[Colt 1860 Army]] as his primary sidearm in "Viva La Mexico" (S2E01) as he did for much of the first season. However, after he is captured, and subsequently released by the US Army, he switches to a [[Remington 1858 New Army]] for the remainder of the season. Some of the former Confederate soldiers-turned-train-robbers also use the [[Colt 1860 Army]], including Hawkins ([[Ryan Robbins]]). US Cavalry soldiers also use the [[Colt 1860 Army]] revolver during the season. Gregory Toole ([[Duncan Ollerenshaw]]) also uses a one in "Blood Moon" (S2E09). 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 originally manufactured with a brass frame.

+The Richards-Mason Conversion revolver is the most common loading gate conversion for the Colt 1860 Army. Is noted from Richards conversion by sights located on hammer, much like the original design.

+Several people use [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolver during the season. Hawkins' ([[Ryan Robbins]]) gang members use [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolvers in "The Railroad Job" (S2E05). Most of the revolvers in the series appear to be brass-framed copies of the [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolver, which did not exist until the Italians started making them during the 1960s.

+The [[Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"]] rifle is used by many characters throughout the series, and Cullen Bohannon ([[Anson Mount]]) carries one on his saddle throughout the season.

-== Colt 1860 Army==
-A [[Colt 1860 Army]] is used throughout the series. 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.

 ==Sharps 1874==
-In "Scabs" (S2E04), Bohannon uses a a "long rifle" to shoot a railroad worker tortured by the Sioux.  The rifle seen appears to be a [[Sharps 1874]] fitted with a Malcolm-style scope, which is again a problem of dating since the railroad was completed in 1869 and the 1874 model came . . . well . . . later.
+Cullen Bohannon uses a [[Sharps 1874]] rifle fitted with a Malcolm-style scope in "Scabs" (S2E04) to shoot a railroad worker who's being tortured by the Sioux. The rifle is a bit of anachronism, since the season takes place in 1866, and the Sharps rifle was available after 1874.

Elam gives the shotgun temporarily to Psalms in "The Railroad Job" (S2E05), who uses it during a shootout.
