I'm sure this has been asked a million times or more but, what kind of a revolver is this??

I'm sure glad that it had time to cool in those smoldering coals before he pulled it out so it didn't burn his hand.

It looks like a Colt 1860 Army that's been converted to accept metallic cartridges. Most likely a Hollywood job.

I'm glad he didn't get frostbite on his fingers with all that dry ice in there.

The revolver look's like a 1860 Army or a copy with what look's like a cartridge conversion.
I'm not sure there were any conversion's done at the time of the war between the state's.

Aka HollyColt or a Coltwood.

I'm sure there weren't. It just looks cool.

Forget it Jake, it's Hollywood.

They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I'll bet. "

What a great movie.

I forget where, but I saw a Civil War 1860 that had been converted to fire 44 RF. The explanation tab said that wasn't a very successful conversion. I know nothing more about it.

It's one of my favorite Movies. I owe it and have seen it a number of times.
And I am known to often quote movies,
Clint and you know who,
And Josie Wales IMO is one of the most quotable on the planet!
So don't pee down my back and tell me it's raining!

I believe that most of the "conversions" were not percussion revolvers rebuilt as cartridge firearms but rather were assembled new as cartridge guns by Colt from left over parts and newly made parts to accommodate cartridges.

Here's a brief explanation:Conversion Revolvers - Hand Guns - PRODUCTS

Lone Watie:
I notice when you get to DISlikin' someone they ain't around for long neither.


The old chief stole every scene he was in.

That's interesting, although I question how many cowboys would use their pistol butts to pound fence post staples.

Every time there's a Josie Wales thread, I end up rewatching it within a few days.

The book is pretty good if you haven't read it. I haven't finished it, but so far the movie was written very close to the book and but explains some of the actual history behind the movie.
