I also thought that the revolver was a Blackhawk at first, but now I think it is a Colt New Frontier: The gun used by Kristofferson seems to have a case-hardened frame, while the Ruger Blackhawk has always used a blued frame. Also, if you look closely at the first vidcap, you'll note that the revolver has a hammer-mounted firing pin, and I think that even the old model Blackhawks had a separated, frame-mounted firing pin. | I also thought that the revolver was a Blackhawk at first, but now I think it is a Colt New Frontier: The gun used by Kristofferson seems to have a case-hardened frame, while the Ruger Blackhawk has always used a blued frame.

Charlie Wade's revolver
Charlie Wade's (Kris Kristofferson) revolver might be described as a Colt Peacemaker, but the size of the frame is bigger than a Colt. Plus the front Patridge sight is very distinct. It's a Ruger Blackhawk filling in as a Colt Peacemaker. My guess is the director, John Sayles, went with it becasue it's more impressive looking in closeups. --Jcordell 01:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Finally, I think that the profile of the front sight looks like that of the New Frontier, and not like the Blackhawk. Rafa
