What about the cocked pistol in the last scene? Anyone?
Didnt see any bullets in the cylinder. What is it that you are trying to figure out. He was playing cowboy with his wife and got sidetracked. Perhaps his wife put the gun away?
In the shooting script, that scene, # 157, is described in this way.

"INT. KYLE HOUSE - DAY
Dust motes drift across blades of light falling through blinds onto Chris. He wears the BELT BUCKLE he won long ago, pleated jeans, and twirls an antique six shooter."

There is no further
written direction in the script as to what Kyle does with the "antique six shooter" after he "twirls" it.
It has been four or five weeks since I watched it but I seem to recall he placed the revolver on the top of the refrigerator before embracing his wife. (???)
I doubt seriously if director Eastwood would have had Kyle twirling a revolver that "appeared" to be loaded.
