The following guns where used in the TV mini-series Lonesome Dove:
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). It is likely Deets still carries the gun because he is still wearing his Civil War uniform and likely kept the gun too.
The man traveling with Gus in Part 4, Pea Eye, carries a Colt Army converted to fire blanks that strangely has the loading lever removed.
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 holds up Rosco Brown (Barry Corbin) is armed with a 10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun. He even claims it is a 10 Gauge and aks his partner to shoot him so he won't tear up his clothes with the shotgun blast.
Chamelot-Delvigne Mle. 1873
The robber with the shotgun also has a Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 revolver on a lanyard loop, worn on his neck like a necklace.

The leader 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.
Gus specifically says he doesn't know what kind of Indians they are fighting. If they were Kiowa, he would have recognized them, as he has fought the Kiowa before. Also, generally speaking, the Kiowa didn't range as far north as Montana, having migrated down from Canada some years previous.
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.
These are probably Blackfoot Indians. The Kiowa ranged much further south.
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 tpyically 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.
Augustus McGrae (Robert Duvall) uses a militarized Remington Rolling Block as a crutch to walk on his leg 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."
