Denix Replica Single Action Army - .45 Long Colt. This none firing zinc replica is typically not used in films, but could possibly be used as a stand-in prop. Note the extra long cylinder lock cuts on the cylinder, indicating the revolver is a prop.

For identification purposes, it is prefered the gun is labeled as a "Single Action Army" as opposed to a "Colt 1873" or "Colt Single Action Army" as many companies such as Uberti, Ruger Vaquero, and Beretta have replicated SAAs to the point in which labeling them all as a Colt would be incorrect. Do not label it as a Colt unless 100% positive it IS a Colt.

The Single Action Army is seen fitted with many different types of grips, the most common being wood, Vulcanite (early black plastic), Ivory, Pearl, and Stag Horn. Noting these differences is helpful to those visiting IMFDB, and is thus encouraged.
