6 Guns is a 2010 direct-to-video Western movie by The Asylum film studio, directed by Shane Van Dyke (the son of Barry Van Dyke who is in the leading role). Selina Stevens' (Sage Mears) family is killed by the gang lead by Lee Horn (Geoff Meed, also the screenwriter of the film). Miraculously escaped Selina turns to bounty hunter Frank Allison (Barry Van Dyke) in teaching her the art of gunfighting to exact the revenge.

The following weapons were used in the film 6 Guns:

Revolvers

Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model (.22 caliber)

Throughout the movie, Selina Stevens (Sage Mears) uses a Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model revolver with silver Eagle grips that belonged to her husband Will Stevens (Brian Wimmer), a retired Texas sheriff who is killed by the gang. Judging by the size of the muzzle and the cylinder bores, the revolver is chambered in .22 caliber. It can be seen in the movie that even this small caliber gun is too heavy for the actress, and doubtless she wouldn't be able to handle the .45 caliber gun.

For comparison: Colt Peacemaker .22 with 6" barrel - .22LR / .22 Magnum. This revolver has same grips with Colt "Rampant Pony" logo and Federal Eagle. Colt Peacemaker .22 aka "G Series" revolvers were produced in 1970s.

The revolver is seen in Stevens' house in the opening scene.

Will Stevens grabs the revolver when strangers approach to his house.

Selina trains to shoot the revolver under the guidance of Frank Allison (Barry Van Dyke).
Frank: You need to learn how to draw before you learn how to shoot.
Selina: I don't need to learn how to draw! I need to learn how to kill a man!

The revolver is seen from the muzzle. The muzzle and the cylinder bores are of small caliber.

A perfect view of the grip. The cartridges in Selina's bandolier look more like .45 ACP ammunition as they are rimless, and even the extractor groove can be seen on the second from the left cartridge.

Single Action Army "Artillery" Model

Gang member Tommy Kleiber (Jason Ellefson) carries a Single Action Army "Artillery" Model revolver with matte grey finish and plain wooden grips. Such features allow to identify the exact model as Uberti 1873 Cattleman Old Model with Old West Patina finish. A nickel plated "Artillery" revolver is seen in Sheriff Barr's office. The film poster shows Frank Allison (Barry Van Dyke) holding an "Artillery" revolver that he doens't use in the movie.

During the massacre in Stevens' house, Chris' brother Joe Beall (Carey Van Dyke, a real life brother of Shane Van Dyke and the elder son of Barry Van Dyke) takes this revolver. A "Civilian" revolver is also used by one of the Deputy Thompson's posse members.
