Artillery Model

Charlie Utter (Dayton Callie) carries a Single Action Army Artillery Model with a 5.5" barrel throughout the series. Jack McCall (Garret Dillahunt) murders "Wild Bill" Hickok with an Artillery Model in Here Was a Man (1.04). According to contemporary reports, the real Jack McCall had used a double-action .45 caliber revolver to murder Hickok, but this an error, because there were no .45 caliber double action revolvers that existed in 1876 (the year Hickok was murdered). This error is often made by people who have very little or no knowledge of firearms. The reason this mistake was made is because a person (like a newspaper reporter) who is not familiar with firearms would refer to a single action as a double-action, because one must cock the hammer on a single-action before they can pull the trigger - which is two "actions" - thus this mistake is made. In Sold Under Sin (1.12), several Cavalry soldiers and a man assisting Con Stapleton use Artillery Model SAAs. Dan Dority (W. Earl Brown) offers one to Swearengen in A Lie Agreed Upon, Pt. 2 (2.02) to face Bullock but Swearengen declines. Eamon (Jeff Cahill) attempts to draw one as Dan cuts his throat in Requiem for a Gleet (2.04), but it drops to the ground. Mose Manuel (Pruitt Taylor Vince) has an Artillery Model which he uses to shoot his brother during Nuttall's bicycle demonstration in Childish Things (2.08), later worrying to Wolcott that someone will discover the bullet in his brother's body as his own. Tom Nuttall (Leon Rippy) secures his SAA behind his bar in Full Faith and Credit (3.04).
