The movie is Appaloosa. The gun wasn't a real 8 gauge, but was a 12 ga. reproduction Colt 1878 with 8 gauge sleeves over the 12 ga. barrels to make it look like they were really 8 ga. barrels. Viggo Mortensen played Everett Hitch, who carried the gun. There is one scene where a real 8 ga. was used to film him loading real 8 ga. shells. The actual shells fired were 12 ga. blanks.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
