True Grit (2010)


Colt Dragoon

Mattie Ross (Hailee 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. It can be surmised that the Walker was used due to its even more imposing size in contrast to Mattie's small stature. But the adherence to the source material in this version is much appreciated.

Henry 1860

True to the book, Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin) carries a Henry rifle, stolen from Mattie Ross' father. While in the original novel and the in the 1969 version of the film Chaney's rifle was fitted with a proper sling, in this film a length of rope is tied to both ends as a makeshift sling, which is logically easier for an on-the-run outlaw to aquire.
