The following guns were used in the film Legends of the Fall:

Legends of the Fall (1994)

Winchester 1873

The Ludlow family keeps a Winchester 1873 as a hunting rifle, and several of the Ludlows use it, most notabley Tristan Ludlow (Brad Pitt).

Winchester 1873 - .44-40 WCF.

Col. William Ludlow (Anthony Hopkins) teaches Susannah Fincannon Ludlow (Julia Ormond) how to fire a Winchester 1873 rifle at a can. She appears to be left eye-dominant, which is rather inconveniant since she is a right handed shooter.

Tristan (Brad Pitt) chambers his Winchester 1873 rifle while hunting the Grizzly bear. A smart hunter would have the gun already chambered since animals have sharp hearing and it would likely spook the bear (or anger it).

Tristan taking aim at the bear.

For unknown reasons, he doesn't kill it.

Tristan takes the Winchester. The location of his finger is not good.

At least he blocks the hammer with his thumb.

Colt Single Action Army - .45 Long Colt.

A 5" Artillery Single Action Army is seen tucked in Col. Ludlow's belt. You'd think if he bought the bullet holding belt, he'd by a holster too.

Tristan is forced to shoot a cow trapped in barbed wire with his nickel Single Action Army.

Tristan (Brad Pitt) brings Colonel (Anthoney Hopkins) back a decorative Double Barreled Shotgun after traveling most of the world. He uses it to kill the last of the O'Banion thugs on his lawn when they come to kill Tristan.

Remington SPR210 Shotgun - 12 Gauge.

The shotgun disassembled in a presentation case.

Colonel tries to assemble the shotgun, but has difficulty do to the paralysis from his stroke.

Colonel produces the shotgun from under his coat to shoot John T. O'Banion (Robert Wisden).

Colonel shoots O'Banion with the shotgun, which practically destroys his chest with buckshot and then throws him off his feet to the ground, because Hollywood believes a shotgun is capable of knocking someone down.

Colonel shoots the thug next to him.

Tristan (Brad Pitt) is seen using a Holland and Holland 10ga. Paradox while hunting big game in Africa.
