'''''True Grit''''' is the second feature film adaptation of the Charles Portis novel of the same name (the first being the [[True Grit (1969)|1969 classic John Wayne film]]). The 2010 film was directed by the Coen Brothers and [[Jeff Bridges]] starred as Deputy US Marshal "Rooster" Cogburn, and the cast included [[Matt Damon]], [[Hailee Steinfeld]], and [[Josh Brolin]].  The film's firearms were provided by veteran film property master Keith Walters, who has provided firearms for several recent Westerns including ''[[The Missing (2003)]]'' and ''[[Appaloosa]]''.  In an interview with ''True West'' magazine, Walters mentioned that several of the weapons seen in the film were replica firearms provided by Cimarron Fire Arms and Taylor’s & Co.

==Colt Dragoon==
==Colt Dragoon==
Mattie Ross ([[Hailee Steinfeld]]) carries her father's [[Colt Dragoon]], as is described in Portis' book. The gun used in the film is an actual percussion Dragoon, while the [[True Grit|1969 film]] used a cartridge-converted [[Colt Walker]].  It can be surmised that the Walker was used due to its even more imposing size in contrast to Mattie's small stature. But the adherence to the source material in this version is much appreciated.
Mattie Ross ([[Hailee Steinfeld]]) carries her late father's 2nd Model [[Colt Dragoon]], as described in Portis' book. It was waiting for her at the boarding house with his watch, knife and other of his 'traps' that Chaney hadn't stolen. Neither the boarding house landlady nor anyone else had seen fit to unload it for safety.

Marshall Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn ([[Jeff Bridges]]) carries a pair of [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolvers in holsters that fit over his saddle horn. He refers to them in the movie as his "Navy sixes.He uses them both in his famous charge at the end.
According to Keith Walters, these revolvers are 2nd model Colt Dragoons as well, despite them being referred to as "Navy Sixes". He uses them both in his famous charge at the end.

In both movies the Dragoon misfires at a critical point. The book explains this; while drunk, Rooster had used it to shoot a rat. Mattie insisted he re-load the two cylinders fired, which he did using defective old caps from a box under his bed - and still drunk. Jeff Bridges doesn't shoot the rat, and John Wayne used his Peacemaker, so viewers of both movies may get the unfair impression that Dragoons were simply unreliable.

I have seen this carbine mis-identified ever since this movie came out. Apparently others are just repeating what someone else assumed. It was not an 1874 Sharps carbine, of which only 496 were made. He (like the real Texas rangers, see Durham’s “Taming the Nueces Strip”) is using an 1868 Sharps carbine conversion. .50-70….of which 31,000 were converted. from Percussion to Cartridge and distributed to troops and millitia’s and yes, texas rangers…was in use into the 80s.

True Grit is the second feature film adaptation of the Charles Portis novel of the same name (the first being the 1969 classic John Wayne film). The 2010 film was directed by the Coen Brothers and Jeff Bridges starred as Deputy US Marshal "Rooster" Cogburn, and the cast included Matt Damon, Hailee Steinfeld, and Josh Brolin. The film's firearms were provided by veteran film property master Keith Walters, who has provided firearms for several recent Westerns including The Missing (2003) and Appaloosa. In an interview with True West magazine, Walters mentioned that several of the weapons seen in the film were replica firearms provided by Cimarron Fire Arms and Taylor’s & Co.

The following guns were used in the film True Grit (2010):


Handguns

Colt Dragoon

Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) carries her late father's 2nd Model Colt Dragoon, as described in Portis' book. It was waiting for her at the boarding house with his watch, knife and other of his 'traps' that Chaney hadn't stolen. Neither the boarding house landlady nor anyone else had seen fit to unload it for safety.

The gun used in the film is an actual percussion Dragoon, while the 1969 film used a cartridge-converted Colt Walker. It can be surmised that the Walker was used in the 1969 film due to its even more imposing size in contrast to Mattie's small stature. But the adherence to the source material in this version is much appreciated.

Deputy US Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) also carries a pair of revolvers in holsters that fit over his saddle horn. According to Keith Walters, these revolvers are 2nd model Colt Dragoons as well, despite them being referred to as "Navy Sixes". He uses them both in his famous charge at the end.

In both movies the Dragoon misfires at a critical point. The book explains this; while drunk, Rooster had used it to shoot a rat. Mattie insisted he re-load the two cylinders fired, which he did using defective old caps from a box under his bed - and still drunk. Jeff Bridges doesn't shoot the rat, and John Wayne used his Peacemaker, so viewers of both movies may get the unfair impression that Dragoons were simply unreliable.

Colt Single Action Army "Peacemaker"

The primary firearm carried by Rooster is a Single Action Army Peacemaker. In the novel, it was stated that Rooster's "belt gun" was a .44-40, the same caliber as his Winchester. According to Walters, the revolver is a Colt Peacemaker with 7 1/2 inch barrel. Texas Ranger La Boeuf (Matt Damon) carries a Colt Peacemaker with ornate carved ivory grips.
