The following weapons were used in the film Patton:
True to his real life counterpart, Gen. George S. Patton (George C. Scott) in the film carries an ivory-gripped Single Action Army in his holster with his initials "GSP" engraved on the grip. When a reporter asks him about his "pearl-handled revolvers", Patton quickly retorts "They're ivory. Only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl-handled pistol."
-Fact: George C. Scott's Patton (and his real life counterpart) only carries one ivory handle Colt 1873 Single Action Army. The second pistol he carried was an ivory handle Smith and Wesson .357 magnum, later given the designation Model 27. The Single Action Army was engraved and had an Eagle carved into the left grip panel. Both the Model 27 and Single Action Army also had Patton's monogram on the right grip panel. The SAA can be seen in this link: [1]
Patton's signature ivory-handled SAA is replaced by a Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum with his "GSP" initials engraved on it for the shot during his opening speech. General Patton purchased the Smith & Wesson Model 27 in 1935 directly from Smith & Wesson. He had the nickname "Two Guns" as he wore matching Colt SAA that he had until giving one away as a gift. He then wore that Smith & Wesson in place of the one given away. He also wore Colt 1908 Hammerless Pistol and a Remington Model 51 pistol.
Some of the Morrocan troops that line up for Patton carry MAT-49 submachine guns. These are anachronistic for the scene, which takes place in 1943, as they weren't developed until a few years later.
Patton also carries a Colt Model 1903 Hammerless as a personal sidearm (kept either in his waistband or a shoulder holster), most notably using it to shoot at a German plane that fires at his headquarters in North Africa. Major General Walter Bedell Smith (Ed Binns) also carries a Colt Model '03 in a shoulder holster.
