The Outlaw is a 1943 film by Howard Hughes that fictionalizes the last days of Doc Holliday, played by veteran actor Walter Huston. In the film, Holliday meets up with Billy the Kid (Jack Buetel), both known to each other by reputation. They end up quarreling over a horse and a woman named Rio (Jane Russell) and end up uniting against Holliday's friend, Lincoln County sheriff Pat Garrett (Thomas Mitchell). The film takes "artistic license" to a new level with its fiction but is better known for the controversy surrounding its release rather than its actual content.

The following firearms were used in the film The Outlaw:

Colt New Army

In some scenes requiring a quickdraw, Doc Holliday (Walter Huston) or Billy the Kid (Jack Buetel) draw a Colt New Army & Navy or a similar double-action revolver rather than their SAAs. Since the film takes place in 1881 and the first New Army model was introduced in 1889, the use of these revolvers is anachronistic. actually they used them on purpose to give the shooters a faster drawl and shot then they could do with a single action.
