I said MAIN guns. He also had a .31 in a shoulder holster.

Yeah that too. There was an article in Guns of the old West that outlined the guns that Josey Wales used in the movie. Funny thing was that the guns mysteriously changed from cap and ball to cartridge conversions throughout the movie. Also, according to the article, the gun he pulled from his burned out farmhouse was an 1860 Richards-Mason conversion which kind of screws up the timeline of the movie. Even with the guns changing, the movie ruled in my opinion.
I think Wild Bill Hickock carried 1851s during his time in Missouri. At least it is reported that he shot a fellow dead with one shot from an 1851 at 75 yards in Springfield.
"Dying aint much of a living, Boy." - one of my favorite quotes of Mr. Wales.
