I have read that Selleck is the authority for the period correctness of guns in his movies, at least since he became a big box office draw, ie, had a say.
Sam Elliot, I don't know, I like most everything he has been in, but don't know if he is gun savvy.
I believe I have read all, and still own nearly all, Louis L'Amour books. I don't know of an author who knew, or depicted, so many guns of the old west as accurately as he did.
Quite possible he boned up for each introduction of a new gun.
Something else I should sell all of before I die, or become incapacitated, else the kids will do as they did when they moved in for a while, hired a dumpster and pitched it full. Dunno, don't seem to have anymore free space here after than I did before. Musta been stacked neater and tighter.
Sergio Leone's movies, the "Spaghetti Westerns", Eastwood stuff, hell, they were being made in Italy, they were cheap, and they were mostly period.
No Glisenti's were shown. I liked them. Much more than Eastwood as Rowdy Yates. WITH a Colt 73, I think.
Cheers,
George
