American Bandits: Frank and Jesse James is a 2010 direct-to-video Western movie directed and written by Fred Olen Ray and starring Tim Abell and George Stults as infamous brothers Frank and Jesse James. During the robbery of the Army wagon with large gold shipment, Jesse is seriously wounded, and Frank need to bring him to doctor, so he splits the gang up. But US Marshall Kane (Peter Fonda) is in hot pursuit, and someone within the outlaw band plans betrayal. The plot is set in the late 1860s, so many screen guns are anachronistic.


The following weapons were used in the film American Bandits: Frank and Jesse James:


Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Schofield

Both Frank (Tim Abell) and Jesse (George Stults) James carry Smith & Wesson Schofield revolvers.

Moore Revolver

Frank James (Tim Abell) also carries a rather rare Moore revolver, designed by Daniel Moore and manufactured by Moore's Patent Firearms Co. in Brooklyn, New York from 1861 until 1863 (other sources claim from 1864 to 1870). This 7-shot revolver was chambered in unique .32 Teat-fire ammunition, created to get around the Rollin White patent. The barrel lengths varied from 4 to 6 inches; the screen gun is a 5-inch model.

Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model

Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model revolvers are used by Marshal Burdette (Anthony Tyler Quinn), gang member Cobb (Christopher Weir) (both have nickel plated revolvers with ivory grips), and a Union Sergeant and three soldiers who guard the gold shipment. The film poster shows Jesse James holding a SAA "Cavalry" revolver which doesn't match his screen gun.

Merwin and Hulbert Revolver

Marshal Kane (Peter Fonda) carries a Merwin and Hulbert revolver that is seen only in holster. This is a long barreled (judging by the length of the holster) model with the "skullcrusher" ivory or pearl butt. First or Second Model seems to be a good guess.
