Wild Bill Hickock commonly carried a brace of:
A. Remington 1858s in .44
B. Colt Peacemakers in .44-40
C. Colt 1860 Armys in .44
D. Colt 1851 Navys in .36

Following the Civil War, Hickock received a matching pair of silver-plated .36 Navy revolvers from a wealthy hunter. These were his daily carry pieces. When expecting trouble, he would often carry heavier Dragoon or 1860 models. There is no record of him carrying Remingtons or Peacemakers.
