Just watched the movie Bad Girls again the other night. ( Found the DVD at Walmart for less than $6. )
Not a bad movie, and plenty of the usual "cowboy" guns to be seen... plus Madeline Stowe, Andie MacDowell, Mary Stuart Masterson and Drew Barrymore skinny-dippin' and generally shooting up a bunch of bandits... So what's not to like?
Anyway.... one of the other interesting things about the movie is the fact that the lead character "Cody" Zamora, apparently carries something other than the usual Colt "Peacemaker".
Have a look at this screen cap:
The second gun from the top, just over the Winchester rifle, looks like a nickeled Colt 1848 Baby Dragoon to me... What do you folks think?
Edit: After a second look, that's probably an 1849 pocket model... No square-back trigger guard. And at another point in the movie it looks more like an 1862 Police... 2 different guns, maybe?
Anyway, just one of those minor little amusements for me... seeing something other than the usual stuff in the movies. ( I do like John Wayne's movies, but damn, I get tired of seeing the same two guns, over and over again... Especially when the movie's set in some time period before 1873 or so... )
Now I gotta find DVDs of Tombstone and Silverado, to replace my old VHS versions....
Anyway, if you haven't seen the movie, or haven't seen it in a while, you might wanna go look it up.
