The following firearms can be seen in the television series Lawman:
Background
Single Action Army
The Single Action Army is also used by various characters.Marshal Troop (John Russell) used the "Artillery" model throughout the run of the series. Both Peter Brown and John Russell were experienced horsemen and shooters and used their influence to ensure some technical accuracy.
Winchester 1892
Like so many westerns made from the 1940's - 1970's the Winchester Model 1892 appeared in almost every episode of Lawman. In the opening credits Marshall Troop (John Russell) tosses a Winchester 1892 to Deputy Johnny McKay (Peter Brown). The rifle is used by both villain and hero alike. The 1892 carbine configuration was the most commonly seen version.
Double Barreled Shotgun
The other firearm that makes a frequent appearance is the 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun . It's interesting that Marshal Troop (John Russell) tends to favor the shotgun over the Winchester while Deputy McKay (Peter Brown) goes with the Winchester 1892. While both characters go to their Colts on a fairly frequnt basis (as befitting a 1950's western) they use the rifle and shotgun fairly often as well.
