Tombstone is a 1993 Western that concentrates on the events leading up to the infamous shootout between the Earps and the Clantons at the O.K. Corral. The film was directed by George P. Cosmatos and starred Kurt Russell as the legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. The cast also included Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, and Bill Paxton. Tombstone was released only six months prior to Wyatt Earp, a rival Western that starred Kevin Costner as the lawman. Peter Sherayko, who portrayed "Texas Jack" Vermillion in the film, is a film armorer and expert on guns of the Old West and was responsible for providing the majority of the firearms for this production.

The following weapons were used in the film Tombstone:

Handguns

Single Action Army

As with many Western films, the Single Action Army is the most commonly seen gun in the film, in the hands (or holsters) of nearly every major and minor character.

Single Action Army Quickdraw Model (4.75" barrel)

Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn) carries a nickel Quickdraw model. Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) also has a nickel Quickdraw, which he carries in addition to his Colt Lightning.

Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) draws his SAA Quickdraw and Colt Lightning.

Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn) holds his SAA on Doc before executing a number of spins to impress the bar patrons.

Doc Holliday holds his SAA and Lightning on Billy Clanton when Billy tells him he's probably seeing double due to his drunkenness with Doc quickly retorting, "I got two guns, one for each of you".

Single Action Army Artillery Model (5.5" barrel)

"Texas Jack" Vermillion (Peter Sherayko), Tombstone Marshal Fred White (Harry Carey Jr.), and Sherman McMasters (Michael Rooker) each carry Artillery Models with 5.5" barrels.

Single Action Army Cavalry Model (7.5" barrel)

Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) often carries a Cavalry Model in addition to his Buntline Special. Morgan Earp (Bill Paxton) has a Cavalry SAA as his primary weapon, as do "Curly Bill" Brocius (Powers Boothe) (who carries two) and his Cowboy gang. Cochise County Sheriff Johnny Behan (Jon Tenney) also has a Cavalry Model, which Ike Clanton (Stephen Lang) borrows during the O.K. Corral shootout. Johnny Tyler (Billy Bob Thornton) is disarmed of his by Wyatt when the latter replaces him as faro dealer, with Wyatt tossing the revolver to the bartender as a "keepsake" to keep above the bar. Billy Clanton (Thomas Haden Church) draws his during the O.K. Corral confrontation to begin the shootout. Barnes (John Corbett) fires one into the air during the Henry V speech, causing the other Cowboys to fire theirs into the air at the speech's conclusion.

Colt Buntline Special (EMF/Uberti replica)

Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) carries a Colt Buntline Special that appears to have been crafted especially for him in 1878 due to his service in Dodge City. In actuality, the Buntline Special in the film is one of three EMF/Uberti replicas custom made for Tombstone. Although the legendary Buntline Special is often associated with Wyatt Earp, he was documented in the Judge Spicer hearings as using his Smith & Wesson Model 3 Russian during the O.K. Corral shootout.

Due to the fact that current production Colt Buntlines are only available in 12" barrels, the film's armorer contacted EMF/Uberti to have three custom Buntlines made for Tombstone. From the personal collection of the film's armorer Peter Sherayko.

When Wyatt opens his drawer to prepare for the O.K. Corral shootout, he looks at the custom grips.

Smith & Wesson New Model No.3

Virgil Earp (Sam Elliott) carries a Smith & Wesson New Model No.3 with a nickel finish and pearl grips. Wyatt seems to carry this revolver in his holster when he is out riding his horse, giving it back to Virgil when talking to him about his choice to serve as City Marshal. The Smith & Wesson Schofield has a rounded rear grip frame whereas the New Model 3 has a "knuckle". The knuckle can clearly be seen in the publicity photos from Tombstone.

Remington 1875

When Behan is attempting to tell the Earps about Tombstone's positive image, "Turkey Creek" Jack Johnson (Buck Taylor) shoots a man in the background with a Remington 1875. Doc Holliday then sarcastically notes that the city is "very cosmopolitan".

Shotguns

12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

Billy Clanton (Thomas Haden Church) loads a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun during the opening shootout with the Cowboys. Several others can be seen throughout the film, used primarily by other Cowboys such as Florentino Cruz (Paul Ben-Victor) in Tombstone, Ike Clanton (Stephen Lang) at the train station and "Curly Bill" Brocius (Powers Boothe) during the Iron Springs shootout. Sherman McMasters (Michael Rooker) also carries a Double Barreled Shotgun as he arrives at the train depot with Doc Holliday, "Texas Jack", and "Turkey Creek" Johnson.

Meteor 10-gauge side-by-side shotgun

Johnny "Madcap" Tyler (Billy Bob Thornton), the faro dealer, approaches Wyatt with a Belgian-made Meteor 10-gauge side-by-side shotgun, which Virgil Earp (Sam Elliott) picks up and uses after Johnny puts it down. Morgan Earp (Bill Paxton) is also seen carrying it. Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) uses the sawed-off 10-gauge as his backup gun, hidden underneath the faro table at the Oriental, when Johnny Ringo harasses Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer). Doc himself carries one into the O.K. Corral during the confrontation, as the true Doc Holliday had in 1881. Doc's real-life personal shotgun was a 10-gauge Colt double.

Winchester Model 1876

Several Cowboys use Winchester Model 1876 rifles throughout the film, including Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn) and Breckenridge (Jason Priestley). Of Earp's men, Sherman McMasters (Michael Rooker) and "Texas Jack" Vermillion (Peter Sherayko) also carry Winchester '76 rifles. According to Sherayko, who was also the film's armorer, there were five Winchester Model 1876 rifles, chambered in .45-60, used in the film.

When Virgil, as Deputy Marshal, posts the notice banning the carry of guns within the town of Tombstone, a man can be seen holding what appears to be a Kentucky Flintlock Rifle in protest.
