All characters in the film, including US Marshal John Carruthers (John Wayne), Sheriff Jake Withers (George "Gabby" Hayes), Danti the Polka Dot Bandit (Yakima Canutt), and another henchman (Earl Dwire) all carry Single Action Army revolvers. According to Phil Spangenberger in a 2006 article for True West magazine, Wayne's 5 1/2"-barreled Single Action Army was likely the same .38-40 WCF model manufactured by Colt in 1928 that he carried in many of his earlier films across the 1930s.

Colt Single Action Army w/ 4.75" barrel, case colored and blued, referred to as "Quick-Draw" or "Civilian" model.
