J.D. here is one of the characters in that western comic I've been putting together; a member of a gang of bandits. J.D. is a debonair gent and a dangerous pistolero. The visual look is based almost piece by piece off of Bat Masterson, a famous gun fighter of the old west.
The suspender/gun-harness thing is just the sort people were developing at the time, but not taken from Bat. In most cities it was illegal to carry a gun so people found tricky ways to hide their guns. With this piece, the coat would also have false pockets so the wearer could just reach through and pull out the guns.
The gun there, I'm not going to say what it is. I want to see if anyone can tell from the drawing. I also want to know, if you can tell, if there's any suggestions on it? I'm not sure about the size of the thing. How about it, any gun nuts watching me?

Well, it's obviously a revolver, possibly .38 (though could be guessing a bit small) if I had to guess the caliber, but I'm afraid my knowledge ends there.
Also, argh, curse you and your exploiting my weakness for dashing scoundrel swashbuckler/bandit/rogue types which I wasn't aware I even had until you started exploiting it.

Hmmm, confusion on the size may be my fault in the drawing. I should look up more references of people holding them to get a better idea.
The gun, by modern standards, would be a .45 and, in fact, had a type of .45 ammunition named by it produced for it. Prior to that, though, it held a .44, as ammunition sizes weren't very standardized back then. A version using a .38 was produced eventually, but I hadn't planned on specifying exactly what sub-model J.D. uses, so let's assume it uses the .45 eventually made for it.
As for the gun itself, there's actually a couple very telling signs on it. These days there's a whole range of guns with those features, but at the time it would be fairly new and fairly unique, and this feature made it one of the most famous guns in history.
Well, those dashing scoundrels are my weakness, too. so I can't help it. ^_^
