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.
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.
Several characters in the film are seen with Colt 1860 Army revolvers with Richards-Mason cartridge conversions. The most notable of these users is Dog Kelly (Tobin Bell) when he duels with The Lady.
In The Lady's flashback to when her father The Marshal (Gary Sinise) is murdered, John Herod is seen using a percussion Colt 1851 Navy with ivory grips. He hands the gun to Young Ellen "The Lady" (Stacy Linn Ramsower) and says she has three shots to shoot the rope ready to hand he father. Her lack of experiance leads to her, herself, shooting him in the head.
