It is uses double set triggers, the back trigger making the front lighter, and is fitted with a ladder-elavated Vernier peep sight. He is an incredible sharpshooter with this rifle and often makes use of the double set triggers for more accurate shots. Sometimes he shoots from so far away, the report of the rifle is heard 2-3 seconds after the impact of the bullet.

Colt Army 1860

Elliot Marston uses a Colt 1860 .44 caliber as his personal sidearm. He refers to it as the Army revolver and has much respect for its maker, Colonel Samuel Colt. He gives his second one to Quigley in the final duel, thinking he is bad with revolvers based on how he said he never had much use for one. When Quigley defeats him and his two men he says, "I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how to use it." He pockets the revolver, then realizing he found a reason to use one.

Colt 1848 Dragoon

Quigley also takes off the dead man's horse a Colt 1848 Dragoon .44 caliber pistol. Crazy Cora uses the Colt Dragoon to fend off dingos from her camp and an Aborigine baby while Quigley is away getting .45-110 shells from a town.
