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.
