Back to the Future Part III (1990)

Colt Single Action Army "Peacemaker"

Various models of the famous Colt Single Action Army are used by various characters throughout the film. Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) receives a SAA Peacemaker from the Colt dealer after he stands up to Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) at the clock dedication celebration. However, in his showdown with Mad Dog, Marty refuses to use it. Before he and Emmett "Doc" Brown (Christopher Lloyd) leave, Marty gives his Colt SAA to Seamus McFly (also played by Michael J. Fox).

In 1955, Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) prepares to fire his SAA to help Marty start off the Delorean. While it's assumed that this is the same pistol he uses in the original Back to the Future to defend himself from the Libyan terrorists, this pistol appears to be a civilian model with a 4.75in barrel and different grips instead of a 'Artillery' model with a 5.5in barrel, like in the first film.
