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:

The Shootist (1976)


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.
