Single Action Army

The most common handgun in the film is the famous "Peacemaker" or Single Action Army revolver, which is seen in the hands of several characters in the film in various barrel lengths, including Charley Waite (Kevin Costner). Based on certain aspects on the SAAs, they appear to be mainly Uberti and Cimmeron modern reproductions.
