The Quick and the Dead (1995)


Single Action Army

As with most westerns, the Single Action Army is the most prominently used gun in the film, built by various replica companies such a Cimmaron and EMF Hartford. Not suprisingly, the 4 3/4" Quickdraw models are the most common models in the film, likely do to the Quickdraw contest in which the film revolves around.

Colt 1851 Navy (with Richards-Mason Cartridge conversion)

When John Herod (Gene Hackman) forces Cort (Russell Crowe) to fight in a quickdraw duel, he takes him to his son's shop and tries to find a gun for him to use. After finding the guns in their too expensive, John ask for the most worthless piece of crap in the store. The Kid (Leonardo DiCaprio) pulls out a POS Colt 1851 Navy with a Richards-Mason cartridge conversion and slaps it on the table saying simply, "Five bucks." Cort uses it for the rest of the duels, but John only gives him one bullet, which they say is .38 Long Colt, for each duel so he can't shoot his way out of town. This proves troublesome when the mighty Spotted Horse (Jonothon Gill) comes up to fight him, and requires a second bullet to take him down.

LeMat 1861

Gutzon (Sven-Ole Thorsen) keeps a LeMat 1861 revolver, which he is seen loading up for his duel with The Kid. He never gets to fire it though do to how fast The Kid is compared to him. It appears he keeps the gun cocked on an unloaded chamber, which would make things very difficult for him. It is confusing why he wouldn't just use the 10 gauge shotgun barrel for the draw, since it is a larger round with a better chance of hitting.

Gutzon wipes beeswax on the chambers of his LeMat to prevent a chain fire in the cylinder. This means the explosion in one chamber setting off the powder in others, pretty much blowing the gun up.

Note how the hammer is cocked on an unprimed chamber, which would make firing the gun in a quickdraw duel even harder. Also note how the shotgun primer nipple is not primed.

Gutzon holsters the LeMat with the hammer cocked. If the gun did have a primed chamber, this would be considered both poor sportsmanship and unsafe.

The gun looses its perfect condition once he decides to chuck it away when he surrenders.

Marlin-Ballard No. 4 Perfection

A man is seen at the beginning of the film digging in the ground. He spots the lady riding up on her horse towards him and pulls out a Marlin-Ballard No. 4 Perfection sharpshooters rifle noted by its reciever and Rocky Mountain front blade sight.

Remington 1875

John Herod (Gene Hackman) is seen using a Remington 1875 with an engraved brass frame which he uses to shoot the legs off of a chair as Cort (Russel Crowe) stands on it with a noose around his neck before The Lady (Sharon Stone) shoots him down. The Kid (Leonardo DiCaprio is also seen showning off a Remington, which he innaccurately refers to as "A Remington Army .44" (which is its percussion predecessor the 1858 New Army) with silver grips.
