The Stranger (Clint Eastwood) carries a 7 1/2" Cavalry Single Action Army as his sidearm in the film. Many other characters carry 5 1/2" Artillery models, such as Stacey Bridges (Geoffrey Lewis) and his gang. Mordecai (Billy Curtis) buys himself a nickel plated Cavalry model once Stranger makes him the new Mayor of the town.

Most of them appear to be cap-and-ball Colt revolvers such as Colt Dragoons and Colt 1851 Navy revolvers, and some appear to be Single Action Army revolvers.
