The following firearms can be seen in Monte Walsh (2002):
Revolvers
SAA
The Single Action Army is carried and used by multiple characters. But the most memorable use is by Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck) and Shorty (George Eads).The actual Colt SAA (serial number # 4562, Mfd. 1874) used by Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck) was manufactured at the beginning of the model's manufacturing history.
Colt 1877 "Lightning"
What appears to be a Colt 1877 "Lightning" Double Action Revolver is seen several times in Chet's (Keith Carradine) holster. The Colt 1877 had a distinctive "Birds Head" grip and that's what I am using for identification.
Remington 1875
A Remington 1875 is used by a Marshal who attempts to arrest one of Shorty's (George Eads) partners.
Shotgun
Winchester 1887
The Winchester Model 1887 is used by Shorty (George Eads) throughout the movie. He carries a shorter version with the 22" barrel.This version was available from Winchester and was usually called the "Messenger" or "Guard" Model. A very imposing weapon indeed.
Rifles
Winchester 1886
Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck) uses a Winchester Model 1886 Carbine throughout the movie. The Winchester used in the movie was manufactured in 1891. It has a 22 inch barrel and is chambered in caliber 50-110. It was restored by Kenny Howell of R&D Gun Shop. Kenny Howell also did restoration work on some of the firearms used in Crossfire Trail.
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"
Chet Rollins (Keith Carradine) carries a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy". It is only seen briefly out of it's saddle scabbard in a couple shots.
Winchester 1873
Throughout the movie one can get brief glimpses of the Winchester 1873 being caried by other cowboys.
