Watching a Western called Hostile Territory set in 1865 and guess what, they are using 1873 Colt SAA.

Judging by all the 1860 based Cowboy films that I've seen that have included Colt SAAs, Schofields and Remington 1875s I'm beginning to think that either the history books got it all wrong or that they was so many 'pre-production prototypes' available that by 1873 cartridge loading revolvers were all a bit 'old news', lol. Speaking of guns in films......I watched '10x10' last night (on Netflix) and there was only one gun in the whole film, started as a real S&W revolver and ended up (in a later 'loading the gun' scene) as a Dan Wesson (first generation) CO2 airgun replica ! Is it bad of me to know the gun that well that I even noticed that they overdubbed the cylinder and hammer cocking sounds over the top of the original to add realism to the scene ? I do need to get out more, lol
