The following firearms were used in the film Maverick:
Single Action Army
Bret Maverick (Mel Gibson) carries a Single Action Army with a five inch barrel as his sidearm. Many other characters also carry SAAs. Maverick evidently keeps it with all six loaded, as opposed to many actual Old West gunfighters, evident in the scene in which Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster) accidentally discharges his revolver when she falls on his holster and when Maverick tells her and Coop that he has "six bullets" when facing off against the bandits (although he fires many more than six shots without reloading).
Maverick draws his SAA inside the Crystal River saloon when he meets Mrs. Bransford.

Max Perlich) (Most likely a reference to Old West gunfighter John Wesley Hardin).

The bank robber (

Geoffrey Lewis) was holding out on him. Glover's appearance is a nod to the
Lethal Weapon series in which he and Gibson starred (as is the music playing when they "recognize" each other).
