The Meanest Men in the West is a 1974 Western movie directed by Charles S. Dubin and Samuel Fuller and starring Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin. Like The Bull of the West (1972), this movie is a theatrical version of two episodes of "The Virginian" TV series, released in 1962 and 1967 and compiled together in 1974. Main characters of both episodes, Harge Talbot Jr. (Bronson) and Kalig Talbot (Marvin) are depicted in the movie as half-brothers and leaders of rival gangs.
The following weapons were used in the film The Meanest Men in the West:
Revolvers
Single Action Army
Single Action Army "Civilian" Model
Arnie Doud (Charles Grodin) and Bassett (Ross Hagen), bandtis of Harge Talbot's gang, are seen with Single Action Army "Civilian" model revolvers (in other scenes both carry "Artillery" revolvers). One of sheriff's deputies holds a pair of "Civilian" revolvers during the bank robbery.
Single Action Army "Artillery" Model
Half-brothers and rival gang leaders Harge Talbot Jr. (Charles Bronson) and Kalig Talbot (Lee Marvin), as well as many of their men, including Arnie Doud (Charles Grodin), Bassett (Ross Hagen) and Preble (Don Mitchell) of Harge's gang and Quinn (Albert Salmi) of Kalig's gang, use Single Action Army "Artillery" model revolvers. Kalig's "Artillery" revolver is later seen in hands of Judge Henry Garth (Lee J. Cobb).
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Single Action Army Sawed-off
Young Kalig Talbot (Lance Kerwin) uses a Single Action Army revolver with sawed-off barrel. It can be any model of SAA with the barrel, sawed even shorter than on "Civilian" model. Supposedly it was done to make the revolver fit to young actor.
Single Action Army (unclear model)
The Virginian (James Drury) and Harge's bandit Keeler (Brad Weston) use Single Action Army revolvers with shortened barrels and removed front sights. They can be based on "Artillery" or "Cavalry" models.
Remington 1858 New Army / Single Action Army (visually modified)
During the train robbery, one of Kalig Talbot's bandits holds a revolver that is supposed to be a Remington 1858 New Army or visually modified Single Action Army revolver with mock cylinder rods.
Unidentified revolver
A revolver, partially seen in the drawer of a bank clerk, is supposed to be some Smith & Wesson model due to the shape of the grip.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine
Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbines, anachronistic for 1887 when the story is set, are used by several members of both gangs, and The Virginian (James Drury) and his men.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Winchester Model 1886 Rifle
One of sheriff's deputies holds a Winchester rifle during the bank robbery. It is supposed to be a Winchester Model 1886 but not for sure.
