"I want everybody to know that the gun that killed Buford Tannen was a Colt Peacemaker!"
—Salesman

The Colt Peacemaker, or the Single Action Army, was the most popular brand of firearm manufactured by Samuel Colt's Patent Firearms.

History

Peacemakers were sold and put on display at the Hill Valley Festival, with a shooting gallery for practice. There was a salesman named Elmer H. Johnson on hand to help customers. He sold Peacemakers for twelve dollars and claimed that the action on the new model was "smoother than the finest whiskey in President Cleveland's liquor cabinet".[1]

Marty's gun was a Colt Peacemaker.

Revolvers resembling the Peacemaker were used by various individuals during 1931 in Hill Valley. HVPD detective Danny Parker used a short-barreled model of the pistol as his service weapon. Kid Tannen and his gang, especially Cue Ball, used long-barreled "Artillery" model Peacemakers.

Emmett Brown owned an ivory-handled Peacemaker, which he had acquired at least before or during 1955. On November 14 of that year, he used the gun to signal Marty to hit the gas and proceed to travel to 1885 in the DeLorean time machine. He still possessed the pistol up through 1985, when he attempted to use it against the Libyans.

In an alternate 1986, Irving Tannen still had his revolver, which had tried to kill Marty with, only to be stopped by Doc.
