We can see several, historically correct vintage firearms in this classic movie, including:

Colt New Army

This revolver, chambered in .38 long colt caliber, was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1892, and it remained in service until it was replaced by the Colt M1911. The round's dismal performance against the Moro tribesmen in the Philippines (as displayed in this movie), forced the Army to re-adopt the 1873 Colt Single Action Army in .45 Colt, as a emergency response.

The revolvers used by Gary Cooper and David Niven in the movie, have Stag grips (or, probably, a plastic imitation).
