The .45 Colt Single Action Army used by Russell Crowe in the 2007 remake of 3:10 to Yuma is up for auction on GunBroker.com. It includes a range of documents confirming its provenance as the actual gun from the film. In addition to those documents, the gun’s serial number can be seen in the film and matched to this firearm.


Auctions @ TFB:



The so-called “Hand of God” revolver was made by U.S. Arms to perfectly replicate a Model 1873 Colt Single Action Army. It is chambered in .45 Colt, as would be expected. This is a fully functional firearm that can be fired if the purchaser decides to do so.

The bid was sitting at $13,325 as of writing, so you will need deep pockets if you want to snag this piece of movie memorabilia. Whatever the final bid ends up at, all proceeds go to benefit the Gun Owners of America. The auction ends on September 28th. Bryant Ridge Co. is the seller of the “Hand of God” and they are including free shipping on this item, so at least you can save a few dollars there!


From the Auction:


“This example is the actual full-functioning Single Action Army revolver used by Russell Crowe in the movie 3:10 to Yuma. It was custom-made by U.S. Arms, exactly like a Colt Single Action Army Peacemaker of the 1870s that was expressively used for the film. It is accompanied by many documents of Authenticity, including signed letters from Mr. Thell Reed, who was the production Armourer and personal Gun Coach to Mr. Crowe and others in the film. Also, in the movie leading up to the climactic gunfight, Mr. Crowe draws this revolver from its Holster in which way the serial number can be seen, which is another point to its Authenticity.”
