True Grit (2010)


Colt Dragoon

Mattie Ross (Hailey 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 1969 film used a cartridge-converted Colt Walker. I imagine the Walker was used due to its even more imposing size to contrast with Mattie's small stature. Still, I appreciate the adherence to the source material.

Sharps 1874 Cavalry Carbine

La Boeuf (Matt Damon) uses a Sharps 1874 Cavalry Carbine throughout the film.

Unknown Winchester

Rooster is also seen firing a Winchester at one point in the trailer, though I can't discern which model.

It looks like a Model 1873, or possibly an 1876. I say it could be an 1876 because of the rather large bore diameter. - Gunmaster45
