Have Gun - Will Travel. Starred Richard Boone. It spawned a hit radio show, voiced by John Dehner,
I couldn't tell the difference. If you told me Boone recorded the radio program, I'd believe it. It's a very good match. Bosso profundo.
It was rare a TV show spawned the radio version, it was usually the other way round. See: Gunsmoke.
Gun content. Please. It's a 50s western, it was a single action army.
That makes me think. A studio could have a buncha western programs going on, but really only one or a couple prop pistols. Four max. And get away with it. The pistol you saw on one show would be used again in an entirely separate series. And another series 15 years later. Or in a Star Trek episode where Kirk has to go against Doc Holliday for some reason. The four studio guns would get more airtime than any one actor.

Generally, studios and other film/show creators didn't own firearms. Too much trouble for them to bother with that. At some point, separate businesses were set up to handle this problem of icky guns, the weapon renters. In some cases, this lead to the loss of continuity of custom weapons for particular shows and movie series. I suspect that the widespread Jewish ownership and management of Hollywood entities was a factor in this situation. Three layers of this influence: studio owners, producer/director/creator-owners, and actors.
Another entity that almost always gets added to the mix, the weapon master/prop master. You can almost always tell when they cheap out on this category of expert: actors die.
