Godless is a 2017 Netflix original miniseries Western that was created by Scott Frank, the screenwriter of such films as Get Shorty (1995) and 2017's Logan and the writer/director of A Walk Among the Tombstones. Set in the New Mexico territory in the 1880s, Godless tells the story of a ruthless outlaw who will stop at nothing to find and kill a member of his gang who betrayed and injured him during a heist, which leads him to a town populated almost entirely by women in the wake of a mining disaster. The miniseries stars Jack O'Connell, Michelle Dockery, and Jeff Daniels. This miniseries also is notable for its very accurate depiction and dialogue regarding firearms of the Old West, as well as including many period firearms besides the Colt Single Action Army. All 7 episodes were released on Netflix on November 22, 2017.
The following weapons were used in the miniseries Godless (2017):
Revolvers
Single Action Army
As with most westerns, the Colt Single Action Army revolver appears in the hands of many characters throughout the series. Whitney Winn (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) notably carries two nickel Artillery models with ivory handles, keeping them in two gun belts worn over one another, and drawing and spinning them quite often. Mary Agnes McNue (Merritt Wever) also carries an Artillery model Colt, hers being blued.
Colt 1872 Open Top Revolver .44 Caliber
In "Shot Off the Head Off a Snake" (S1E05), a flashback shows Roy being given a Colt 1872 Open Top Revolver by Frank to use.
Remington Model 1875
Outlaw Frank Griffen (Jeff Daniels) carries a Remington 1875 revolver throughout the series, using to both kill and threaten many people.
Winchester Model 1873
The Winchester Model 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine is used by several characters in the series.
Winchester Model 1876
Mary Agnes McNue (Merritt Wever) carries a Winchester Model 1876 rifle throughout the series. Unlike the widely renowned 1873 Model, the Winchester '76 was built with a much larger receiver for accommodating larger, more powerful ammunition. It's chambered in .50-95 Sharps, which Mary Agnes specifically mentions when buying ammunition, prompting the store owner to ask if she's hunting buffalo (A resonable and accurate question, being that the .50-95 Sharps cartridge was developed as a buffalo round, specifically for single-shot Sharps rifles). She uses it to great effect in "Homecoming" (S1E07) during the final gun battle.
Henry 1860
Alice Fletcher (Michelle Dockery) carries an iron-framed Henry 1860 throughout the series, wielding it many times at visitors approaching her ranch.
A Henry 1860 Trapper Iron Frame is used by Alice Fletcher (Michelle Dockery).
