1883 (TV Series)

1883 is a Paramount+ original streaming series that is a prequel to the Paramount Network series Yellowstone. The series follows an earlier generation of the Dutton family as they make the dangerous trek from Fort Worth, Texas to Montana and to what will eventually become the Dutton family ranch. Like Yellowstone, 1883 was co-created by Taylor Sheridan, the director/screenwriter responsible for such screenplays as Sicario, Hell or High Water and Those Who Wish Me Dead, and who also wrote and directed several episodes of the series. The cast includes Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Isabel May as well as cameo appearances from Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and Billy Bob Thornton. The series premiered on December 19, 2021, on the streaming service Paramount+. The story of the Dutton family would be continued in the 2022 Paramount+ series 1923.
__TOC__
= Revolvers =
== Single Action Army "Civilian" Model ==
Single Action Army "Civilian" Model revolvers are used by Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott), a Pinkerton agent and a former Captain of the Union Army, Marshal Jim Courtright (Billy Bob Thornton), rancher Charles Goodnight (Taylor Sheridan), and numerous bandits, including their leader (Russell Rakestraw). Most, if not all, revolvers can be identified as Uberti replicas.
== Single Action Army "Artillery" Model ==
Single Action Army "Artillery" Model revolvers are used by James Dutton (Tim McGraw), his daughter Elsa (Isabel May), Thomas (LaMonica Garrett), a Pinkerton agent and veteran U.S. Army sergeant from a Buffalo Soldier regiment, as well as a number of minor characters. These revolvers also appear to be Uberti replicas of several models.
== Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model ==
One of Shea Brennan's (Sam Elliott) revolvers is a Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model. "Cavalry" revolvers are also used by several bandits.
== Single Action Army "Sheriff's" Model ==
When Elsa Dutton (Isabel May) becomes a cowgirl, her father gives her a Single Action Army "Sheriff's" Model revolver.
== Single Action Army Non-firing Replicas ==
During the confrontation with Lakota, James Dutton (Tim McGraw) holds a Single Action Army "Civilian" Model revolver that can be identified as a Denix Peacemaker non-firing replica, judging by the painted silumin surface and thick wooden grips with a screw. In most scenes, Dutton is armed with a live-firing "Artillery" revolver, and the reason for using a non-firing replica in this scene is unclear.
Many characters carry holstered revolvers that are non-firing replicas of the SAA. They have light brown grips without screws, and a distinctly silumin surface which is black or silver, imitating bluing or nickel finish, respectively.
== Colt 1860 (Richards Conversion) ==
One of the bandits who attacked the immigrants' camp is armed with a Colt 1860 (Richards Conversion) revolver. The screen gun is probably an Uberti 1860 Richards Army replica.
== Colt 1860 Army "Avenging Angel" (Richards-Mason conversion) ==
Claire Dutton (Dawn Olivieri), James Dutton's widowed sister-in-law, holds a "belly gun" version of Colt 1860 Army, commonly referred as "Avenging Angel" or sometimes "1860 Civilian". Judging by the cylinder, this is a Richards-Mason conversion. The screen gun is probably built upon an Uberti replica.
== Smith & Wesson Schofield ==
A Smith & Wesson Schofield is used by Thomas (LaMonica Garrett) during the confrontation with the evildoing members of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association. He carries the Schofield revolver together with the SAA "Artillery" revolver as a left-hand gun (although in several scenes Thomas carries a mockup SAA revolver instead of Schofield in the left-hand holster).
= Rifles =
== Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" Rifle ==
Thomas (LaMonica Garrett) is armed with a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" Rifle in several scenes. A Lakota warrior holds a "Yellow Boy" rifle during the attack on the settlers.
== Winchester Model 1873 Carbine ==
Three Winchester Model 1873 Carbines are seen in Marshal Courtright's office in Fort Worth. Comanche Sam (Martin Sensmeier) also carries a Winchester Model 1873 carbine.
== Winchester Model 1873 Short Rifle ==
In several scenes, James Dutton (Tim McGraw), cowboys Wade (James Landry Hébert) and Colton (Noah Le Gros), and a number of settlers are armed with Winchester Model 1873 Short Rifles.
== Winchester Model 1873 Long Rifle ==
In one scene, James Dutton (Tim McGraw) holds a Winchester Model 1873 Long Rifle that later switches to a Short Rifle. Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott) uses a Winchester 1873 Long Rifle during the shootout with the rustlers. In this scene his rifle several times switches between this gun and a version of Winchester 1873 with half-magazine due to a row of continuity errors. Comanche and Lakota also are seen with such rifles. Most of the screen guns are replicas by Uberti.
== Winchester Model 1873 Rifle (Half-magazine) ==
James Dutton (Tim McGraw) is originally seen with a Winchester Model 1873 rifle with half-magazine that is later replaced with a 1873 Long Rifle. Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott) is seen with a Winchester 1873 with half-magazine in Fort Worth. During the shootout with the rustlers, Brennan's rifle several times switches between this gun and a Winchester 1873 Long Rifle due to a row of continuity errors.
== Winchester Model 1885 High Wall ==
A Winchester 1885 High Wall rifle that is fitted with a Hi-Lux Optics Malcolm 6X 30" long rifle telescopic sight is seen used by James Dutton (Tim McGraw) when dispatching three bandits. The rifle is anachronistic for the time the show is based on since the High Wall didn't come into production until 1885. The rifle is also seen in the hands of Margaret Dutton (Faith Hill). A visually and mechanically similar rifle that would have fit for the 1883 setting is the Sharps 1874.
== Winchester Model 1892 Carbine ==
In one scene, Wade's (James Landry Hébert) Winchester 1873 rifle switches to an anachronistic Winchester Model 1892 carbine due to a continuity error.
== Remington Rolling Block Rifle ==
Sentry #2 (Seth Lee) in Fort Caspar holds a Remington Rolling Block rifle. US military adopted two models of the Remington Rolling Block rifle, both produced by Springfield Armory under license: a US Navy Model 1870 and a US Army Model 1871. Both models had two barrel bands, while the screen gun has three barrel bands, so this is likely a Spanish or Egyptian model.
== Trapdoor Springfield Rifle Model 1888 ==
Sentry #1 (Will Spencer) in Fort Caspar holds a Trapdoor Springfield Rifle Model 1888.
== Enfield Pattern 1853 ==
In the flashback scene that depicts the Battle of Antietam, Union soldiers of Capt. Shea Brennan's unit are armed with a large number of different rifles and muskets (most likely, some reenactors' club was involved in this scene). One of the most widely used guns is an Enfield Pattern 1853 rifled musket.
== Enfield Pattern 1861 Musketoon ==
At least one soldier is armed with an Enfield Pattern 1861 Musketoon.

When James Dutton (Tim McGraw) encounters two pickpockets in Fort Worth, his shotgun switches to a different gun that turns out to be some kind of mockup.

Many settlers, including their leader Josef (Marc Rissmann) and the Romani woman Noemi (Gratiela Brancusi), carry Double Barreled Shotguns with exposed hammers.
