The Meanest Men in the West is a 1974 Western movie directed by Charles S. Dubin and Samuel Fuller and starring Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin. Like The Bull of the West (1972), this movie is a theatrical version of two episodes of "The Virginian" TV series, released in 1962 and 1967 and compiled together in 1974. Main characters of both episodes, Harge Talbot Jr. (Bronson) and Kalig Talbot (Marvin) are depicted in the movie as half-brothers and leaders of rival gangs.
The following weapons were used in the film The Meanest Men in the West:
Arnie Doud (Charles Grodin) and Bassett (Ross Hagen), bandtis of Harge Talbot's gang, are seen with Single Action Army "Civilian" model revolvers (in other scenes both carry "Artillery" revolvers). One of sheriff's deputies holds a pair of "Civilian" revolvers during the bank robbery.
Young Kalig Talbot (Lance Kerwin) uses a Single Action Army revolver with sawed-off barrel. It can be any model of SAA with the barrel, sawed even shorter than on "Civilian" model. Supposedly it was done to make the revolver fit to young actor.
The Virginian (James Drury) and Harge's bandit Keeler (Brad Weston) use Single Action Army revolvers with shortened barrels and removed front sights. They can be based on "Artillery" or "Cavalry" models.
Remington 1858 New Army / Single Action Army (visually modified)
During the train robbery, one of Kalig Talbot's bandits holds a revolver that is supposed to be a Remington 1858 New Army or visually modified Single Action Army revolver with mock cylinder rods.
