Most Commonist

I cannot, for the life of me, remember if the Colt Model P aka SAA aka M1873 aka Peacemaker really was the most common handgun of the old west or if that's just the most common gun Hollywood used.

If I think about it too hard, the fact that Hollywood used them near exclusively is kind of a hint about its ubiquity.  They'd use what was cheapest to fill the role.

There's a lot of Trapdoor Kentucky rifles in movies from the '50's and '60's, for example.
