What kind of gun did Clint Eastwood use in High Plains Drifter?

Clint Eastwood's character, The Stranger, in High Plains Drifter doesn't use a specific gun throughout the film. Instead, he uses various firearms depending on the scene.

Here are some of the guns he uses:

* Colt Single Action Army .45 caliber: This is the most recognizable and common gun he uses.

* Smith & Wesson Model 3 Schofield .45 caliber: This gun is particularly noticeable in the scene where he shoots the saloon's mirror.
