Corrected entry: Sheriff Bell carries a Colt semi-automatic single action pistol. As he prepares to enter the motel room in El Paso we see him draw his pistol and cock the hammer. This implies that he was carrying the pistol with the hammer down with a round in the chamber, which would be very unlikely since it is well known that that is the most dangerous way to carry such a gun. The standard way that most professionals carry this gun is in a "cocked-and-locked" condition where the hammer is cocked and the thumb safety engaged.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Josh Brolin has just landed on shore and pulls his pistol to shoot the pit bull, he racks the slide on his pistol and ejects an unfired round.
Correction: If you did that, and there was a round in the chamber, that is what would happen.
