What guns did Wyatt Earp use?

Answer 1

Various models throughout his career. It has long been speculated that he was given a Buntline special at one point but no such records have substantiated this claim. Although it is verified that he did in fact carry a .44 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver into the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

Answer 2

Initially he carried a 1851 Colt Navy revolver given to him by his uncle. Latter he carried a .41 caliber Colt Thunderer and .38 caliber Colt Lightening which were both double action revolver and not a SAA often attributed. The only time he ever used a shotgun was at the O.K. Corral.

Answer 3

Wyatt Earp owned many guns in his lifetime and those that remain are scattered among museums and private collectors. Some of these guns are frauds, although purchased and displayed in good faith. Colt's Revolver-Carbine this is Wyatt Earp's trusty talisman - the most fabled, disputed and sought-after weapon in western lore.

There is a lot of conflicitng information about which guns Wyatt Earp possessed and used. Most accounts have him using a Colt Single-Action Army, a Schofield .44 Smith and Wesson revolver, and most likely other guns. Since he was a friend of Dodge City, Kansas Marshall Bat Masterson--himself a fan of the Schofield--it's likely tha t any gifted gun from him may have been a Schofield. In those days, guns were very common, and many people had more than one. T his would be especially true for a well-reputed gunfighter/marshall. In fact, there is very little good historical information as to exactly what guns Wyatt Earp owned.
