As a veteran actor of nearly 100 films and television shows, Alec Baldwin was no stranger to the strict safety protocols around the handling of firearms on set.

While preparing to film an action scene for his low-budget western film Rust in New Mexico in October 2021, Baldwin was handed a .45 Colt replica revolver.
