The Colt 1851 Navy has been seen in the following films:
Film
- Eli Wallach as Tuco in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
- Marston's men in Quigley Down Under
- Insp. Butterman in Hot Fuzz (engraved with ivory grips)
- Kevin Costner as Lt. John Dunbar in Dances with Wolves
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 to reload. 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.
