The following firearms were used in the film Maverick:
Single Action Army "Quick Draw" (Wooden Grips)
Bret Maverick (Mel Gibson) carries a Single Action Army "Quick Draw" model with a 4 3~4 inch barrel and wooden grips as his sidearm. 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). actually he fired it six times and picked up another gun.
Bret Maverick (
Mel Gibson) demonstrates his quickdraw talents with his SAA inside the Crystal River saloon when he meets Mrs. Bransford.

Mel Gibson) with his SAA drawn against Johnny Hardin (
Max Perlich) (Most likely a reference to Old West gunfighter John Wesley Hardin).

Single Action Army "Quick Draw" (4.75" barrel)
Several characters, most notably the bank robbers who hold up Maverick, carry the "Quickdraw" model of the Single Action Army revolver.
The bank robber (
Danny Glover) holds a nickel Quickdraw model during the robbery when Maverick discovers Eugene (
Geoffrey Lewis) was holding out on him. Glover's appearance is a nod to the
Lethal Weapon series (also directed by Richard Donner) (as is the music playing when they "recognize" each other). That may be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Single Action Army "Artillery"
In some scenes, Maverick holds instead the Artillery model of the Single Action Army.
