Cowen (Richard Crenna), Catlow (Yul Brynner), Rosita (Daliah Lavi) and several of Catlow, Miller, and Rosita's henchmen carry a Single Action Army throughout the film. All Single Action Armys used in the film are modern replicas with brass trigger guards.

Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action
The Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action is used by Meridew (Jeff Corey) and several supporting characters, mostly Catlow's henchmen. Considering that the film was shot in Spain, it is possible that the Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action used is a replica, probably from Éibar.
