Wyatt carried a "Buntline Special", a Colt .45 with a 12" barrel, 4 inches longer than a regular Colt, making the overall length 18 inches. Five of these Specials were ordered by Ned Buntline for Wyatt, Charlie Basset, Bat Masterson, Bill Tilghman, and Neil Brown. These guns also came with a removable wooden stock, which could be attached to facilitate use as a rifle for long-distance shooting. Bat and Bill cut off the extra four inches, but the rest carried theirs as supplied. Wyatt wore this Buntline special for the remainder of his career on his right hip, and a Colt Frontier .45, known as "The Peacemaker", with a 7½" barrel, on his left hip. This is verified by referring to Stuart N. Lake's, "Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshall: Pub 1931 Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
