I can't believe Hollywood would ever fake
this gun stuff!
Well, maybe a few times.
Well documented where New Service or 1917 Colts
were taken, an ejector rod added, and wallah, you
sorta maybe had an 1878 DA Colt (Ignore the
swing out cylinder feature, please).
Of course, when Shane plugs Jack Wilson his SAA
turned into a Colt Police Positive and then
back again to a SAA. Almost impossible to spot.
The Police Positive, I mean.
OK, it happened all the time.
Check out the finale of "Hombre." Or "Five
Card Stud." Or "Firecreek,." Or.....
Those 1878 DAs and Thunderers or Lightnings
sometimes showed up just when you didn't
expect it.
