Lt. John J. Dunbar keeps a Colt 1851 Navy as his sidearm throughout the film. It is actually converted to fire metallic cartridges which is safer then using blanks on a percussion revolver. The revolver could be considered as slightly anachronistic due to its model type. This particular revolver was built in London, England due to its appearance being a steel frame with black iron backstrap and black steel barrel. As only around 2,000 units were produced at the London Colt factory, it is highly unlikely that John would come by one. He also uses a polished brass frame Henry 1860, or as the Rebels called it, "That damned Yankee rifle you load on Sunday and shoot all week", as his rifle of choice throughout the film.
