like many civil war, etc 'portrait' photos, it was likely posed and the photographer arranged the weapons to look good. may even have supplied them just for the photo. his revolver is a bit too far forward too, probably to show it off better. he'd do himself an injury if he tripped or fell off his horse, or dropped to the ground into a prone firing position.
