The following guns were used in the film Two Mules for Sister Sara:

Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970)

Single Action Army

Hogan (Clint Eastwood) carries a Single Action Army 5 1/2" Artillery as his sidearm in the film, as do several other characters, including the three robbers at the beginning of the film. This is historically incorrect since the Colt Single Action Army was introduced in 1873 and the French had withdrawn from Mexico in 1866.

Colt Single Action Army 5 1/2" Artillery - .45 Long Colt.

Hogan aims his Single Action Army at robbers during the start of the film. Note the rounds in the chambers, which are 1960-70s style blanks, not to be confused with hollow point rounds.

One of the robbers holds Sara (Shirley MacLaine) at gunpoint with a 7 1/2" Cavalary Single Action Army.

Hogan kills the last robber by fanning his SAA rapidly.

Hogan aims his SAA at Indians after being shot in the shoulder with an arrow.

Sara prepares to hit the arrow out of Hogan's shoulder. A notch was cut in the arrow and filled with gunpowder, which he ignites right before she pushes the arrow through to cauterized the wound as the arrow passes through.

Hogan kills French General LeClaire (Alberto Morin) with his SAA.

Hogan reloads his SAA while fighting in the French fort.

Winchester 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine

Hogan (Clint Eastwood) carries a couple Winchester 1873 rifles on his pack horse's rig, but mainly only uses the one on his saddle bag. He most notabley uses it with the help of Sara (Shirley MacLaine) to shoot a pack of dynamite positioned to destroy a train track bridge soon to be crossed by a French munitions train. This is historically inaccurate since the French occupation of Mexico ended in 1866.

Winchester 1873 Saddle Ring Carbine - .44-40.

Hogan places Winchester 1873 rifles through windows in the fort to trick the French into thinking the fort is heavily guarded.

Hogan uses Sara as a rest when she asks him to dry fire the gun and see if he can it anything in his drunken state, which he barely can. Note saddle ring.

Sara chambers a round into the Winchester 1873 for Hogan.

Hogan rests the Winchester 1873 on Sara's shoulder.

Sara holds her breath as Hogan fires a shot at the dynamite, and misses.

After Sara knocks some sense into Hogan (note how his hat is missing), he takes one last shot at the dynamite and finally hits it.
