​@@logicplague2077nope. Colt 1851 .36 Navy Revolver. Most likely a Richards-Mason conversion to be exact. Originally a cap-and-ball, converted to accept metallic cartridges. A .36 bore, modern, non-heeled bullets are 0.357 inches in diameter, usually converted to fire .38 Long Colt back then. There are modern reproductions made for .38 Special. .38 Long Colt is expensive but still available for purists. .38 Short Colt, .38 Long Colt, and .38 Special will all work in a .357 Magnum revolver. Cowboy Action, with the exception of Wild Bunch matches, aren't my usual thing but i do own three Single-Action revolvers: a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 Magnum with a 9mm cylinder, a Super Blackhawk in .44 Magnum, and my late paternal grandfather's third gen Colt Frontier model in .44-40. Bought it off my youngest male first cousin. My grandfather left it to my oldest uncle, the oldest son. He gave it to my cousin when he moved out as it's tradition in my family that once one moves out on their own they get a decent amount of money and means to defend themselves. This past Christmas i saw him for the first time in many years. I was 10 when he was born. He'll 38 this summer. In conversation, he mentioned his now fiancée found the Colt and she doesn't want guns in their house and was short for holiday shopping. He considered pawning thought of pawning it. I offered $1800 for it cash, it's worth $2200, $2300 easy. A few scratches and holster wear, cherry wood grips that our grandfather made himself but otherwise in excellent condition. Top purchasing points: He knew it would go to a good home with me, no need to pay back, and the most important, at least for me, it stays in the family. I'm a firm believer in family heirlooms should remain just that. Besides, i already have his Winchester 1894 in .44-40, might as well complete the set. I also have our grandmother's Colt 1908 .380 as well. She was an excellent shot with it.

Any of those wheelguns today would command quite the price tag, there is just something about revolvers that I love, which is why I own a S&W Model 327 R8, it's the perfect fusion of modern tech with that old school wheelgun attitude, plus it's hard to argue with 8 rounds of .357 Magnum with a rapid reload using "moon clips".

What crazy to me, the prices in those days. When Leo says "$120 for this colt" I always think damn thats cheap for a NICE colt, but then remember that 120 was pretty damn expensive for a quality pistol during that time because the U.S currency was worth more at that time.

[@Mirokuofnite]

It's a insane price for a gun back then. It would have to be a factory engraved model with gold accents. The movie is set in 1881, so the pistol in modern money would be $3733. Back then $20 would get you a really nice Colt revolver, so the $5 special in the film would be close to the true price of a used gun. In the 1880s depending on where you lived $120 could get you a really good horse or two. Since horses ranged at about $50-150 dollars.

[@MrAtullberg]

It appears to me that The Kid is using these expensive showpieces as 'sizzle'; a well used routine to whet the appetites of any customer that comes in. He gives his spiel, and while he never sells these fancy pieces, The Kid has, at the very least, convinced even the most casual visitor to buy *something*. Herod knows this sales routine of old. And knows it's the best shot in order to tempt Cort back into the old ways. So essentially, what we're seeing is Herod using the Kid to sell *his* product.

I always wondered why he did that. This Actually makes sense. The sizzle also makes sense since court is trying incredibly hard not WANT to touch the guns. Especially since Herod knows Court. The very second Court gets that revolver, he starts spinning it. And testing the action. It's at that very moment Herod smiles because he knew he got Court exactly where he wanted him. Thanks for this. It adds another layer to this scene I never noticed before.

Clean enough, I think. The barrel's really rusted at the end, and I am trying to figure if a barrel extension like that seemed feasible (though I think a conversion to .38 and being a 'Long' Colt would explain it). The cylinder that holds the bullets is rusted. Even the hammer is rusted up where Cort actually pulls it back a few times before one of his duels to loosen it up. Funny thing is that cheap piece of crap for $5 was regarded as a damned great deal for its capability. Shooting straight? That 1850-1860 Colt Navy conversion was arguably the best accurate revolver he could have gotten for $5...or a lot more money. Combine that with Cort's talent, he could have been the huckleberry to Herod's persimmon...just a little better.
