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 than the typical Colt Single Action Army, including:

Movie prop

This double-action, modern revolver (it looks like a Colt 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 (see the Police Positive below), 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 antique handguns.
