Gasser Montenegrin

John McCabe (Warren Beatty) carries as his sidearm a Gasser 2nd Model Montenegrin. In the beginning of the movie, when McCabe first arrives and is thought to be an infamous gunfighter, the minor characters incorrectly mention his gun as being some sort of fancy Swedish revolver, when it is in fact Austrian-designed for the Balkan market, and frequently made in Belgium.
