The Long Riders
The Long Riders is a 1980 western that tells the story of the Jesse James Gang. The film was directed by Walter Hill, and stars 3 families of actors (the Carradines, the Keaches and the Quaids). In the film, there are more interesting guns in this movie than the typical Colt Single Action Army.
The following guns were seen in the movie The Long Riders:
Merwin and Hulbert revolver
Clell Miller (Randy Quaid) keeps a Merwin and Hulbert revolver as his main handgun.
Remington 1875
Cole Younger (David Carradine) is seen with a Remington 1875.
Sharps Pepperbox
Four-barreled Sharps Pepperbox is also seen in the film held by Bella Starr (Pamela Reed).
Smith and Wesson Schofield
Frank James (Stacy Keach) is seen with a Smith & Wesson Schofield.
Smith and Wesson Baby Russian
A Top-break, .38 Smith and Wesson Baby Russian revolver is the weapon of Vernon Biggs (Chris Mulkey).
Colt Dragoon
Jim Younger (Keith Carradine) is seen with a Colt Dragoon when they rob the coach.
Movie prop Colt Police Positive
A Colt revolver is seen held by Ed Miller (Dennis Quaid) during the bank robbery. This double-action, modern revolver (it looks like a Colt 1917) has been modified to look like a Colt Single Action Army, installing a fake extractor rod housing on the right side of the barrel. This kind of props were frequently used in the 50's Western movies (see the Police Positive below), when an actor wasn't able to use a single action army with the speed required by the script. It is somewhat surprising to find one in this movie, which uses such a variey of antique handguns.
