==Colt 1851 Navy (with Richards-Mason Cartridge conversion)==
When John Herrod ([[Gene Hackman]]) forces Cort ([[Russell Crowe]]) to fight in a quickdraw duel, he takes him to his son's shop and tries to find a gun for him to use. After finding the guns in their too expensive, John ask for the most worthless piece of crap in the store. The Kid ([[Leonardo DiCaprio]]) pulls out a POS [[Colt 1851 Navy]] with a Richards-Mason cartridge conversion and slaps it on the table saying simply, "Five bucks." Cort uses it for the rest of the duels, but John only gives him one bullet, which they say is .38 Long Colt, for each duel so he can't shoot his way out of town. This proves troublesome when the mighty Spotted Horse ([[Jonothon Gill]]) comes up to fight him, and requires a second bullet to take him down.

As with most westerns, the Single Action Army is the most prominently used gun in the film, built by various replica companies such a Cimmaron and EMF Hartford. Not suprisingly, the 4 3/4" Quickdraw models are the most common models in the film, likely do to the Quickdraw contest in which the film revolves around.
