Chris Calloway ([[Ben Johnson]]), one of Rufus Ryker's henchmen, carries an SAA revolver in holster. While this is an 1873 model, the shape of the grip frame defines it as being a Bisley model, first available in 1894 and, therefore, rather anachronistic.

A [[Colt Police Positive]] with 6" barrel and same finish and grips as Shane's Cavalry SAA revolver is used as a "stunt double" in the climactic scene. In same scene Jack Wilson's revolver is substitued with a blued version of Police Positive with more common 4" or 5" barrel.

== Colt 1877 Double Action (Cowboy Ranger version) ==
Joe Starrett ([[Van Heflin]]) takes out an ivory handled Colt double-action when he's about to go after Ryker. The revolver Joe appears to be a [[Colt Lightning|Colt 1877 DA Lightning]]. Most likely it is not a genuine Colt but one of its clones, like Belgian produced version known as Cowboy Ranger: the revolver has a slide safety below the hammer that doesn't exist on original Colts; also the wide grip in SAA style is uncommon for Colt 1877 DA. These Belgian revolvers were sold in the US by sellers like Sears and Montgomery Ward up until the mid 1920s.

In the climactic scene Rufus Ryker (Emile Meyer) draws a revolver. It is seen very briefly but what is seen allows to make a guess that the revolver is a [[Colt 1860 Army]] with [[Colt 1860 (Richards Conversion)|Richards Conversion]].

When Morgan Ryker ([[John Dierkes]]) is seen walking upstairs to stay hidden, he is armed with a rifle that looks like [[Henry 1860]] but actually is a visually modified [[Winchester Model 1892]], with removed handguard.

Shane is a 1953 Western movie directed by George Stevens and based on the 1949 novel Jack Schaefer.

The following weapons were used in the film Shane:


Revolvers

Single Action Army

Single Action Army Cavalry Model

Shane (Alan Ladd) carries a 7 1/2" Single Action Army Cavalry Model with a nickel finish and ivory (actually plastic) grips with engraved horse heads. In the climactic scene the SAA revolver is replaced with a Colt Police Positive (see below) in order to show the classic gunslinger fast shooting in Hollywood fashion.

Various Single Action Army revolvers

Chris Calloway (Ben Johnson), one of Rufus Ryker's henchmen, carries an SAA revolver in holster. While this is an 1873 model, the shape of the grip frame defines it as being a Bisley model, first available in 1894 and, therefore, rather anachronistic.

Morgan Ryker's revolver in holster hangs on the pillar in the scene of the brawl in the saloon. The grip length readily identifies the revolver as having an 1860 Army grip frame.

Colt 1877 Double Action (Cowboy Ranger version)

Joe Starrett (Van Heflin) takes out an ivory handled Colt double-action when he's about to go after Ryker. The revolver Joe appears to be a Colt 1877 DA Lightning. Most likely it is not a genuine Colt but one of its clones, like Belgian produced version known as Cowboy Ranger: the revolver has a slide safety below the hammer that doesn't exist on original Colts; also the wide grip in SAA style is uncommon for Colt 1877 DA. These Belgian revolvers were sold in the US by sellers like Sears and Montgomery Ward up until the mid 1920s.

Smith & Wesson Schofield

Townsman Yank Potts (Howard Negley) carries a nickel plated revolver in holster. The shape of the grip allows to identify it as a Smith & Wesson Schofield, and due to the size of the holster, the revolver is short-barreled.

Rifles

Winchester Model 1892 (Mocked Up as Henry 1860)

When Morgan Ryker (John Dierkes) is seen walking upstairs to stay hidden, he is armed with a rifle that looks like Henry 1860 but actually is a visually modified Winchester Model 1892, with removed handguard. Such props are common in Western movies due to the lack of genuine Henry rifles.

Stevens Crackshot

Joey Starrett (Brandon De Wilde) carries a .22 rimfire Stevens Crackshot around to play with, but his father won't give him any rounds for it because he is too young. When Joey works the lever while Shane is there, he whips around, ready to draw his pistol before realizing the situation.
