Rifle
The rifle doesn't look like an M1903, rather some sort of Mauser. --Funkychinaman (talk) 02:57, 18 May 2014 (EDT)
IDs
Kevin Tighe's revolver appears to be a Colt rather a S&W, and James Earl Jones' revolver appears to be a Single Action Army. --Funkychinaman (talk) 01:17, 19 May 2014 (EDT) It is a .38 Colt Army Special(period correct) or the later Official Police.The image doesn't show the topstrap clearly enough to tell the difference. David Strathairn's Colts are not M1909s,which was a New Service which a sharkfin front sight and a lanyard ring. Both appear to Colt Official Polices, the righthand gun seems to be a 6 inch Heavy Barrel model which was introduced in 1936, while the left hand gun looks to have a 4 or 5 inch barrel. Neither have lanyard rings nor holes in the butt for one(I looked at a different still for the left hand gun)which you would see in a New Service. There is a photo of the real Hatfield posing with a 7.5 inch barreled New Service and a S&W with an apparent 5inch barrel; both guns appear to be nickel plated.--Tecolote (talk) 02:05, 19 May 2014 (EDT)
Agreed, Tighe's revolver shows a fully exposed ejector like the Colt New Army Models ... http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Colt_New_Army_%26_Navy --686P (talk) 05:06, 19 May 2014 (EDT)
I can't find a listing for Colt Army Special at this site though this video covers it ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spjHZaLs3cw --686P (talk) 05:34, 19 May 2014 (EDT)
