actualy, a gun mag (cannot remember which one) did a piece not long ago on the dollars guns, stating that they were conversion revolvers, as cartridge arms were available in the 1860's, but not used by the military as they were too expensive and "high Tech" to be quickly adopted- the just of the article was that the producer of the film did his research, and that it was common for private persons to have already switched over to the cartridge revolvers, and that it was fairly common to have a gunsmith redo an old navy revolver to use metalic cartridges, as the military stuff was built heavy enough to handle "hotter " newer loads. I too am, a fan of the trilogy, and of old timey looking revolvers- umberti makes some good ones, and cimarron does too- some high end companies like ruger also make a few old itemy style guns as well
