Joe Kidd

The following guns were used in the film Joe Kidd:

Joe Kidd (1972)

C96 "Broomhandle" Mauser

Lamarr Simms (Don Stroud) carries a C96 "Broomhandle" Mauser as his weapon of choice in the film, and fits the unique holster/stock combo to the back of the grip to shoulder the pistol like a rifle. Joe Kidd (Clint Eastwood) later uses it when escaping from the bounty hunters, and shows us that in Hollywood a ten shot pistol can fire about 30 rounds and lock empty several times before actually needing to be reloaded.

C96 "Broomhandle" Mauser with holster/stock combo - 7.63x25mm.

Simms pushes ten rounds into his C96 "Broomhandle" Mauser with a stripper clip.

Canadian Ross Model 1910 (custom)

As Joe Kidd (Clint Eastwood) escapes from the bounty hunters, he grabs a rifle case containing a custom built Ross Model 1910 straight pull bolt action rifle that has been sporterized and modified as a break down rifle, and fitted with a Winchester A5 or Lyman 5A scope. The gun also has a fixed five round magazine instead of the extended ten round version. Joe uses it when battling Olin Mingo (James Wainwright) in a sniper standoff.

Joe opens up the case containing the broken down Ross Model 1910.

Joe assembles the Ross M10.

Joe checks the scope of the Ross M10. Clint appears to be left-eye dominant, and thus fires the rifle "south-paw". There is also the chance he may be ambidextrous. Note the 28" barrel length to maximize the high velocity .280 Ross cartridge.

Joe loads a round into the Ross M10. The caliber is assumed to be a .280 Ross (British .280 rimless Nitro Express).

Joe shoulders the Ross M10. Note the P-shaped bolt, indicating it is a Ross, as does the straight pull action seen when he ejects the spent shell.

Joe takes aim at Mingo with the Ross M10. Note the flat 5-round fixed magazine.

Remington-Keene Frontier

Olin Mingo (James Wainwright) carries a Remington-Keene Deluxe Sporter rifle fitted with a scope and with a shortened magazine tube as his sniper rifle in the film, noted by its external hammer mounted on the back of the bolt. Based on the muzzle diameter it appears to be chambered in .45-70. A similar rifle is seen used in The Sons of Katie Elder and Crossfire Trail.

Mingo checks his Remington-Keene rifle while in the hotel room.

Mingo fires his Remington-Keene at Luis' men in the mountains.

"If you don't blink soon, your eye-balls'll fall out." Mingo scans the mountains while armed with his Remington-Keene.

Mingo fires his Remington-Keene at Joe Kidd from the mountain tops. His biggest mistake was to stand out in the open and not even lay prone, which makes him an easy target, even at the range he was shooting from.

Single Action Army

As with most westerns, many characters carry Single Action Army revolvers in the film, including Joe Kidd (Clint Eastwood), who carries a 7 1/2" Cavalary model. Some characters carry Single Action Armies but never draw them, such as Frank Harlan (Robert Duvall), who has one with ivory grips.

"Get outta here..."

At the beginning of the film when Luis Chama (John Saxon) breaks his friends out of jail, Deputy Sheriff Calvin (Clint Ritchie) is seen using a Colt Bisley Single Action Army noted by its distinct grip shape, and fitted with pearl grips.

10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

Harry The Bartender (Ed Deemer) keeps a 10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun under the bar counter, which Joe Kidd (Clint Eastwood) uses to kill one of Luis Chama's (John Saxon) men when he tries to kill him. Joe later hands the shotgun to Harry at the end of the film and tells him to cover him from the bar.

Joe (dressed like a "city dude", as they'd say back then) checks a 10 Gauge shotgun while waiting behind the bar stool.

Joe shoots one of Chama's men as he runs through the bar doors. Firing a 10 Gauge with one hand must be brutal.

Table of Broken Guns

When the bounty hunters turn on Joe Kidd (Clint Eastwood), they disarm him but offer him to use one of the crappy guns seen on a table piled up. Most of them are not fireable and appear very old and rusted. They are likely actual guns of the period.

Among the weapons seen are a French Chassepot 1866 bolt action rifle, a Trapdoor Springfield 1873, a Remington Rolling Block, a US M1842 musket, a Smith & Wesson revolver of unknown model, and a Double Barreled Shotgun of unknown make. The rest are too obscured to identify.
