Winchester 1892

Like so many westerns made from the 1940's - 1970's the Winchester Model 1892 appeared in almost every episode of Lawman. In the opening credits Marshall Troop (John Russell) tosses a Winchester 1892 to Deputy Johnny McKay (Peter Brown). The rifle is used by both villain and hero alike. The 1892 carbine configuration was the most commonly seen version.

John Russell as Marshal Dan Troop with a Colt SAA "Artillery"

Double Barreled Shotgun

The other firearm that makes a frequent appearance is the 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun . It's interesting that Marshal Troop (John Russell) tends to favor the shotgun over the Winchester while Deputy McKay (Peter Brown) goes with the Winchester 1892. While both characters go to their Colts on a fairly frequnt basis (as befitting a 1950's western) they use the rifle and shotgun fairly often as well.
