Pete McCullough ([[Henry Garrett]]) is seen with a holstered large framed [[Smith & Wesson 44 Hand Ejector Series#Smith & Wesson .44 Hand Ejector 1st Model "Triple Lock" |Smith & Wesson "Triple Lock" double action revolver]]. This is requiring some deductive reasoning. The story is set in 1915 and the .44 caliber "Triple Lock" was the only large framed double action revolver that Smith & Wesson was making for the commerical market. The company was producing the .455 caliber version for the Canadian Army, but it was not on the market.

Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan) carries a Colt M1911 chambered in .45ACP on his right hip, with a double spare magazine pouch on his left. Historically this should be the original 1911 variant as the 1911A1 was not introduced until 1924 (9 years after the events portrayed in the series).
Phineas McCullough (David Wilson Barnes) carries a Colt Model 1903 in a shoulder holster. As Phineas was a business man and a gentleman, the use of a compact pistol in a discrete/concealable shoulder holster would be more appropriate for the character then a large-framed revolver in a belt holster. In the time period of 1915, the pistol could be either the Model 1903 or the Model 1908, but the 1903 is more likely.
Pete McCullough (Henry Garrett) is seen with a holstered large framed Smith & Wesson "Triple Lock" double action revolver. This is requiring some deductive reasoning. The story is set in 1915 and the .44 caliber "Triple Lock" was the only large framed double action revolver that Smith & Wesson was making for the commercial market. The company was producing the .455 caliber version for the Canadian Army, but it was not on the market.
In the series premiere "First Son of Texas" (S1E01), a young Eli (Jacob Lofland) carries what appears to be a Hawken Rifle with an octagonal barrel and double set triggers while fishing. He uses it to hunt a turkey and later defend the homestead.
In "Death Song" (S1E04), Neptune (J. Quinton Johnson) uses a Lewis Gun when battling opposing forces at the river. This is a possible anachronism as earnest production on the Lewis gun did not start until late 1914, with adoption by the British military in 1915. Although it is possible that one was being used in Texas in 1915, it is unlikely.
