Colt Walker 1847

A Colt Walker 1847 with a cartridge conversion kit is carried by Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) throughout the four part film.

During Part 1 of 4, Gus' Colt Walker rarely leaves his holster, and he only fires it twice in the air to alert the group of his position.

Gus holds his Colt Walker on the bartender in part 2 when he is disrespectful to him and Woodrow Call (Tommy Lee Jones).

Note how the Colt Walker has been cartridge converted. Cartridge converted guns are typically used in place of percussion revolvers, as it is far safer to fire blank cartridges than percussion.

A good side shot of the Henry.

Colt 1860 Army

Several characters keep Colt 1860 Army revolvers as their sidearms, including Woodrow Call (Tommy Lee Jones), Newt Dobbs (Rick Schroder), and Joshua Deets (Danny Glover). It is likely Deets still carries the gun because he is still wearing his Civil War uniform and likely kept the gun too.
