The following weapons were used in the film The Sisters Brothers :
Revolvers
Colt 1851 Navy
Eli Sisters (John C. Reilly ), Charlie Sisters (Joaquin Phoenix ), John Morris (Jake Gyllenhaal ) and The Commodore's henchman Rex (Richard Brake ) widely use Colt 1851 Navy revolvers. The screen revolvers are modern replicas of original cap and ball guns, not cartridge conversions.

While Mayfield (Rebecca Root) doesn't use a gun in the film, promotional images show her carrying a revolver in holster. This is a compact gun in Colt 1849 Pocket style but the grip differs in size, allowing to guess that the holstered revolver is a "Wells Fargo" version.
