The Shootist is the 1976 western that marked the final role for John Wayne. In the film, Wayne plays an aging gunfighter dying of cancer who faces one last duel.
The following guns were used in the film The Shootist:
Great Western Revolver
The Great Western revolver is the main handgun of J.B. Books (John Wayne). These Single Action Army Replicas were made in the 50's to be used by Wayne. These were a set of 2 engraved revolvers presented to him by the defunct Great Western company. According to the well known gunwriter John Taffin, the revolver that is thrown through the saloon by Gilliam Rogers (Ron Howard), is not one of the Great Westerns, but a movie prop, made using a Ruger Blackhawk, modified to look like a SAA. [1]
Colt Single Action Army
The Colt Single Action Army is used by several characters in the film including Jack Pulford (Hugh O'Brian) and Jay Cobb (Bill McKinney).
Smith & Wesson New Model No.3
Jack Pulford (Hugh O'Brian) carries a Smith & Wesson New Model No.3 break-top revolver with a 6" barrel.
Remington 1866 Derringer
J.B. Books (John Wayne) carries a hidden Remington 1866 Derringer, and uses it at the beginning of the movie.
Winchester Model 1892
