No pics? That's a disappointment. Doing this from memory because my DVD of this movie is in storage with most of my others, but I do believe that Newman's character John Russell carried a double action revolver. I thought it was maybe an 1878 in .45 Colt (or .44-40) rather than a Lightening or Thunderer, but I'd have to see it again. Of course, this being Hollywood, it could even have been something like a mocked-up variation of a 1892 model DA. My take on the gun the corrupt Indian agent carried was either a S&W or H&R DA in .38 S&W caliber. But it's just a guess without seeing the DVD and being able to zoom in on it.
The double action appears only in the last scene. Apparently Newman couldn't fire a single action fast enough. You're not supposed to notice the switch. During the rest of the movie he carries a Colt Single Action with a 7 1/2" barrel.
