The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series The Son:

Pistols

Colt M1911

Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan) carries a Colt M1911 chambered in .45ACP on his right hip, with a double spare magazine pouch on his left. Historically this should be the original 1911 variant as the 1911A1 was not introduced until 1924 (9 years after the events portrayed in the series).

Original Colt M1911 (dated 1913) - .45 ACP

In the series premiere "First Son of Texas" (S1E01), Eli McCullough (Pierce Brosnan) is seen carrying the 1911 on his belt along with 2 spare magazines.

Colt Model 1903

Phineas McCullough (David Wilson Barnes) carries a Colt Model 1903 in a shoulder holster. As Phineas was a business man and a gentleman, the use of a compact pistol in a discrete/concealable shoulder holster would be more appropriate for the character then a large-framed revolver in a belt holster. In the time period of 1915, the pistol could be either the Model 1903 or the Model 1908, but the 1903 is more likely.

A production image of Phineas McCullough (David Wilson Barnes) is shown carrying the Colt Model 1903 while conversing with Pete McCullough. Note that Pete is carrying a large framed revolver on his belt. Another nice touch since Pete is active with the day to day operation of the family cattle ranch.

Smith & Wesson .44 Hand Ejector 2nd Model

Pete McCullough (Henry Garrett) is seen with a holstered large framed Smith & Wesson .44 Hand Ejector 2nd Model . In "No Prisoners" (S1E05), Sally McCullough (Jess Weixler) holds the revolver. When Sally uses the revolver it can be identified as a 2nd Model due to the lack of the ejector rod housing found on the "Triple Lock" model that preceded it.

Another look at the revolver in Pete McCullough's holster. Note the lanyard ring - which was an option available at the time. A feature that appealed to those who were outdoors a lot. It was a good way to hold onto one's revolver. Tactical considerations were different one-hundred years ago

Machine Guns

Lewis Gun

In "Death Song" (S1E04), Neptune (J. Quinton Johnson) uses a Lewis Gun when battling opposing forces at the river. This is a possible anachronism as earnest production on the Lewis gun did not start until late 1914, with adoption by the British military in 1915. Although it is possible that one was being used in Texas in 1915, it is unlikely.

Lewis Gun - .303 British
