Johnny Guitar is a 1954 western drama directed by Nicholas Ray. Starring Joan Crawford and Sterling Hayden.
The following firearms were used in the film Johnny Guitar:
Single Action Army
Many characters are seen with Single Action Army revolvers.
"Quick-Draw" Model
Sheriff's Model
initially confused with a Model 1873 Sheriff's and Storekeeper's Model, the revolver used by both Vienna and Emma is a Model 1877 Colt double-action revolver. Note the slimmer profile, rounded front sight, larger trigger guard and milled step in the frame just forward of the trigger guard. The 1877 also has longer cylinder flutes because there are no notches for lockup(lockup is at the rear of the cylinder). Barrels were available in 2.5 to 7.5 inches(barrels under 4.5 could not mount an ejector rod). Calibers were .38 LC, 41 LC, and a scant few in .32. Rarely seen in Westerns, the smaller birdshead grip and double-action are better suited to a woman's hand although Vienna's revolver has been modified with a plowhandle grip to give it more of a Peacemaker appearance(lobby cards for this movie depict Ms. Crawford with a holstered gun that clearly has a double-action trigger combined with a Peacemaker type grip frame; such an item may have been cobbled up for Ms. Crawford or it may have been something the firearms rental company carried in stock). The IMFDB page for Tombstone features Val Kilmer's Model 1877 pocket gun in .41 caliber.
Winchester Model 1892
Some characters are armed with Winchester Model 1892 rifles.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
Several 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotguns are also used.
