Colt 1851 (Catridge Conversion)
Only trait is a loading gate so this weapon can fire metallic cartridges. In films, these guns are commonly place in anachronistic time periods such as the civil war, due to the safer method of firing cartridge blanks instead of cap and ball blank shot.
Film
- Clint Eastwood as Blondie in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (with silver snake grips)
- Eli Wallach as Tuco in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (with lanyard loop)
- Lee Van Cleef as Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
When cartridge became popular in the 1870s, percussion revolvers became dated. To fix this, a cartridge conversion method was created by Charles B. Richards and William Mason, employees of Colt at the time. The conversion proved popular and allowed gunslingers to keep their favorite guns, but now easier and faster to reload.
Film
- Christian Bale as Dan Evans in 3:10 to Yuma (2007)
- Kevin Costner as Wyatt Earp in Wyatt Earp
- Logan Lerman as William Evans in 3:10 to Yuma (2007)
