Tom Selleck carried an 1876 Smith and Wesson Schofield Revolver in .45 Schofield, and an 1871-72 Ivory handled Colt Open Top .44 revolver in .44 Colt ( a healed bullet cartrdge) manufactured from a Colt blackpowder reproduction . These were hand-built or modified by Ken Howell of R&D gunshop.

His rifles were a Scoped Heavy Barrel Sharps Buffalo rifle most likely a model 1874 taken from the ships captain. The movie Sharps rifle was chambered in in 45-70. He later acquired an 1876 Centenial "full wood" 45-60 Winchester from the town store. This heavy repeating rifle was able to shoot through the saloon walls in the final gunfight scene. The Winchester M1876 .45-60 rifle was modified by Ken Howell of R&D Gunshop, Based on an original carbine receiver made in 1879, this longarm was rebuilt for movie use.

Wilfred Brimley used a rare 28 round Adams Carbine, the Sharps Buffalo rifle, and a "borrowed" Winchester model 1873 carbine and the others used colts single action army revolvers and model 1873 Winchester carbines and 1866 Yellowboys.

The hired killer Beau Dorn carried a Colt 1873 SAA and a Remington 1875 revolver, and used a long scoped Remington Keane Bolt action rifle in a .40-60. According to the May 2002 issue of American Rifleman the Remington-Keene used by Brad Johnson was overhauled by Ken Howell of R&D Gun Shop.

Joe Gill's rifle was an unusual 28 shot Evans carbine, not an Adams, which didn't exist, AFAIK.
