Revision as of 04:42, 9 March 2009
The following guns where used in the TV mini-series Lonesome Dove:
Colt Walker 1847
A Colt Walker 1847 with a cartridge conversion kit is carried by Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) throughout the four part film.
Henry 1860
Both Augustus McGrae (Robert Duvall) and Woodrow F. Call (Tommy Lee Jones) carry Henry 1860 rifles, and use them in all four parts of the film.
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.
The man traveling with Gus in Part 4 carries a Colt Army converted to fire blanks that strangely has the loading lever removed.
Single Action Army
Many characters in the film carry Single Action Army revolvers including July Johnson (Chris Cooper), Blue Duck (Fredrick Forrest), and Po Campo (Jorge Martínez de Hoyos).
In Part 2, one of the robbers is seen using the 10" "Buntline Special" Single Action Army with a nickel finish when he and his partner try to rob Rosco Brown (Barry Corbin).
10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
One of the robbers who holds up Rosco Brown (Barry Corbin) is armed with a 10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun. He even claims it is a 10 Gauge and aks his partner to shoot him so he won't tear up his clothes with the shotgun blast.
Chamelot-Delvigne Mle. 1873
The robber with the shotgun also has a Chamelot-Delvigne Mle. 1873 revolver on a lanyard loop, worn on his neck like a necklace.
- I'm not too sure I'm correct here, input is asked of. - Gunmaster45
Colt Patterson 1836
Rosco Brown (Barry Corbin) carries a Colt Patterson 1836 revolver in Part 1 and 2.
Remington 1875
Jake Spoon (Robert Urich) carries a brass framed Remington 1875 with pearl grips as his sidearm in Part 1, 2, and 3.
Remington 1875 Carbine
The leader of the bank robbers Jake (Robert Urich) rides with in part three carries a Remington 1875 with a 16" barrel and a skeletal stock, making it heavily resemble a Remington 1858 "Cattleman's Carbine".
Colt 1878 Lightning
The leader also carries a Colt 1878 Lightning revolver, which he uses to finish off Frog Lip (Julius Tennon) after he is wounded trying to steal horses and then uses it to kill two farmers they come across.

Several characters in the film carry Winchester 1873 rifles, most notabley Woodrow F. Call (Tommy Lee Jones) in Part 4.
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy"
Winchester 1866 "Yellow Boy" rifles are seen often in the film.
Colt New Service
One of Blue Duck's thugs firing at Gus McGrae (Robert Duvall) in Part 2 is seen using a Colt New Service revolver, which is extremely anachronistic for the time, but is tpyically used by actors who cannot fire a single action gun fast enough for film standards.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
The Mexican Cook of the group carries a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun in Part 1 and 2. Guards outside Blue Duck's (Frederic Forrest) jail cell in Part 4 also carry shotguns.
Trapdoor Springfield 1873 Cavalary Carbine
One of the bank robbers in Part 3 uses a Trapdoor Springfield 1873 Cavalary Carbine, and hands it to Jake Spoon (Robert Urich) to use during a robbery, but he never fires a shot.
Remington Rolling Block
Augustus McGrae (Robert Duvall) uses a militarized Remington Rolling Block as a crutch to walk on his leg shot up with poisoned arrows in Part 4.
Unknown Rifle
In Part 3, Big Zwey (Frederick Coffin) uses an unknown rifle to hunt buffalo, before returning to beat Luke (Steve Buscemi) for making advances on "his woman".
Special: "Uva Uvam Vivendo Varia Fit"
Famous to all who have seen the film, Gus comically added this Latin phrase to his sign without any idea as to what it says. Call asks "What if it's an invitation to rob you?" and he replies, "If any man can read that, he's welcome to." While the translation is impossible to translate exactly, the basic translation most people agree on is "A grape changes color (ripens) when it sees another grape."
