Clell Miller (Randy Quaid) carries a Merwin and Hulbert revolver as his main handgun. This revolver was not available to the public until 1876, the same year that Clell Miller helped robb the bank in Minnesota as depicted in the movie.
Jim Younger (Keith Carradine) is seen with what appears to be a .44 caliber Colt Walker revolver when they rob the coach. Despite the presence of a loading lever latch, this is a Walker and not a Dragoon or '51 Navy. (See Discussion page for detailed argument.)
A Colt revolver is seen held by Ed Miller (Dennis Quaid) during the bank robbery. It is also seen used by Bob Younger (Robert Carradine). This double-action, modern revolver (it looks like a Colt 1917) has been modified to look like a Colt Single Action Army, installing a fake extractor rod housing on the right side of the barrel. This kind of props were frequently used in the 50's Western movies (see the Police Positive below), when an actor wasn't able to use a Single Action Army with the speed required by the script. It is somewhat surprising to find one in this movie, which uses such a variety of antique handguns. Another possibility is that it was a representation of a Colt 1878 Double Action Revolver.
Frank James uses a stainless steel Winchester 1892 that has been modified to look like a Henry Rifle.

The loading gate was invented by Winchester employeé Nelson King and did not feature on the old henry rifle.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe open action also reflects a 1892. The barrel is also round as opposed to the octagon barrel fitted on every Henry rifle made.

At least one citizen is seen blasting away with what appears to be a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun at the robbers during the "Great Northfield Minnesota Raid".
