I also liked Burt Lancaster in "Valdez is Coming", and Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen in "Appaloosa", where Mortensen (Everett Hitch) carries what is supposed to be an 8 gauge double. You can read up on the gun and learn how the set armorer/gunsmith took a 12 gauge and sleeved the barrels (on the outside) to give them the appearance of an 8 gauge. Obviously a big gun in his hands, it also said that in the original script there was only supposed to be a few shots of him carrying it, but as the filming progressed he took a liking to the big double and carried it in most every scene.
