The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series The Son
Pistols Colt M1911 Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan ) carries a Colt M1911 chambered in .45ACP on his right hip, with a double spare magazine pouch on his left. Historically this should be the original 1911 variant as the 1911A1 was not introduced until 1924 (9 years after the events portrayed in the series).

Error creating thumbnail: File missing In the series premiere "First Son of Texas" (S1E01), the pistol used to threaten an intruder. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan ) uses his sidearm in "No Prisoners" (S1E05). Colt Model 1903 Phineas McCullough (David Wilson Barnes ) carries a Colt Model 1903 in a shoulder holster. As Phineas was a business man and a gentleman, the use of a compact pistol in a discrete/concealable shoulder holster would be more appropriate for the character then a large-framed revolver in a belt holster. In the time period of 1915, the pistol could be either the Model 1903 or the Model 1908, but the 1903 is more likely.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless Pistol Blued - .32 ACP Error creating thumbnail: File missing A production image of Phineas McCullough (David Wilson Barnes ) is shown carrying the Colt Model 1903 while conversing with Pete McCullough. Note that Pete is carrying a large framed revolver on his belt. Another nice touch since Pete is active with the day to day operation of the family cattle ranch. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another look at the Colt carried by Phineas. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Phineas McCullough (David Wilson Barnes ) carries the Colt pistol in his holster in "Honey Hunt" (S1E08). Mauser C96 A Mauser C96 is also used by Neptune (J. Quinton Johnson ).
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mauser C96 Error creating thumbnail: File missing Publicity photo of Neptune with the Mauser C96 in a leather holster. Interestingly it is a leather holster and not the wooden stock which doubled as a holster. Error creating thumbnail: File missing At the right, Neptune pulls his pistol in "No Prisoners" (S1E05). Revolvers Colt 1851 Navy Percussion Colt 1851 Navy revolvers are used by Texas Rangers.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing The revolver is used by a Ranger (Marc Menchaca ) in "Death Song" (S1E04). Single Action Army Cavalry Model (7.5" barrel) Tom Sullivan (Matthew Posey ) carries a Cavalry Single Action Army with a 7.5" barrel. Additionally there are multiple characters seen with the Single Action Army . Many of them extras.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Colt Single Action Army w/ 7.5" barrel known as the "Cavalry" model - .45 Long Colt Error creating thumbnail: File missing In the center, Tom Sullivan (Matthew Posey ) holds the revolver in "No Prisoners" (S1E05). Smith & Wesson No. 3 Schofield Pedro Garcia (Carlos Bardem ) appears to be carrying a Smith & Wesson Schofield . Though only seen holstered the Schofield grip is distinctive.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smith & Wesson Schofield Model 3 with blued finish - .45 Schofield (right side) Error creating thumbnail: File missing Publicity still of Pedro Garcia (Carlos Bardem ) giving a good look at the Schofield in his holster. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another look at the Schofield. There is no mistaking that grip configuration for a Smith & Wesson Schofield . Smith & Wesson "Triple Lock" Pete McCullough (Henry Garrett ) is seen with a holstered large framed Smith & Wesson "Triple Lock" double action revolver . This is requiring some deductive reasoning. The story is set in 1915 and the .44 caliber "Triple Lock" was the only large framed double action revolver that Smith & Wesson was making for the commercial market. The company was producing the .455 caliber version for the Canadian Army, but it was not on the market. In "No Prisoners" (S1E05), Sally McCullough (Jess Weixler ) holds the revolver.

A feature that appealed to those who were outdoors a lot. It was a good way to hold onto one's revolver. Tactical considerations were different one-hundred years ago .

Rifles/Carbines Hawken Rifle In the series premiere "First Son of Texas" (S1E01), a young Eli (Jacob Lofland ) carries what appears to be a Hawken Rifle with an octagonal barrel and double set triggers while fishing.

Machine Guns Lewis Gun In "Death Song" (S1E04), Neptune (J. Quinton Johnson ) uses a Lewis Gun when battling opposing forces at the river. This is a possible anachronism as earnest production on the Lewis gun did not start until late 1914, with adoption by the British military in 1915. Although it is possible that one was being used in Texas in 1915, it is unlikely.
