The Long Riders
The story of the Jesse James Gang, directed by Walter Hill, and starring 3 families of actors (Carradine, Keach and Quaid). We can see more interesting guns in this movie that the typical Colt Single Action Army, including:
Merwin and Hulbert revolver
Remington 1875
Sharps Pistol
Four-barreled, pocket pistol
Smith and Wesson Schofield
Smith and Wesson Baby Russian
Top-break, .38 S&W caliber revolver:
Colt Dragoon
Movie prop
This double-action, modern revolver (it looks like a S&W 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, 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 period handguns.
