Just watched Tombstone a couple of times recently ( The best Western I have ever seen, I typically don't care for the old cowboys killing the Indians flicks) and I want me a cowboy six shooter. The only thing is, most of these revolvers like the Ruger series' are all single action. Any double action c western style revolvers?

Colt Lightning .38 and Thunderer .41 per that picture.
Colt Double Action Frontier 1878 .45 (and others) very rarely listed as the Omnipotent.
Smith & Wesson Double Action Frontier .44 R and .44 WCF
Merwin & Hulbert Army (later models in DA)
Probably some others.
These are all originals, now at antique prices.
There were some .22s in "Western" stlye from High Standard and Harrington & Richardson in the 60s and 70s.
I have seen pictures of DA Colts and Smiths faked up to look like SAAs by movie studio prop departments; but these were one-offs, not regular production items.
So learn to wheel a sixgun, pard.

Hi, guys,
There was the DA that Alan Ladd used for the climactic gun fight in "Shane". He had an SAA right up to the shooting, then they switched him over to a DA (I think it was a Colt New Service) decked out with the same type of grips as the SAA. Ladd was a small man, with small hands, and he couldn't handle a SAA well enough to fire rapidly.
You can't see it on the small screen, but look carefully if you ever get a chance to see the movie version again.
