The Single Action Army a.k.a. Peacemaker or Frontiersman has been used by the following actors in the following movies, television series, anime, and video games:

Colt Single Action Army w/ 4.75" barrel, case colored and blued, referred to as "Quick-Draw" or "Civilian" model.
Colt Single Action Army w/ 5.5" barrel known as the "Artillery" model. The most common of the SAA revolvers as it is just the right length. .45 Long Colt
Single Action Army w/ 5.5" barrel aka "Artillery" model with wooden grips (this is a Cimarron reproduction - and an actual movie gun) Note lack of 4th screw on revolver frame in front of cylinder. The Colts all have this.
Colt Single Action Army w/ 7.5" barrel known as the "Cavalry" model.
2nd Generation Colt Single Action Army w/ 7.5" barrel known as the "Cavalry" model - Nickel plated model - .45 LC
Bisley model Colt Single Action Army w/ 7.5" barrel - 45 Colt.
Bisley model Colt Single Action Army. 5" barrel known as the "Bisley Colt". Note distinct grip and hammer shape.
Colt Single Action Army w/ 12" barrel known as the "Buntline Special".


For identification purposes, it is preferred the gun is labeled as a "Single Action Army" as opposed to a "Colt 1873" or "Colt Single Action Army" as many companies such as Uberti, Ruger Vaquero, and Beretta have replicated SAAs to the point in which labeling them all as a Colt would be incorrect. Do not label it as a Colt unless 100% positive it IS a Colt.

The Single Action Army is seen fitted with many different types of grips, the most common being wood, Vulcanite (early black plastic), Ivory, Pearl, and Stag Horn. Noting these differences is helpful to those visiting IMFDB, and is thus encouraged.
