Dennis Weaver simply did it - he refused to wear any kind of device on the leg in fear that if he were to fall from a horse or something the leg could be injured if he couldn't bend it. He had an amazing concentration to walk like that the whole time he was on camera. He did say once that it took a while after he left Gunsmoke to not automatically limp whenever the director said "action".

Matt Dillon did not have a noticeable limp. That was Chester B. Goode who had the limp. Matt did, from time to time have a limp when injured during several of the episodes. James Arness was wounded during WWII and did have a limp, but not noticeable during most of the TV Series. James Arness was shot by machine gun fire at the Battle of Anzio, and was hospitalized for a year battling his wounds and subsequent infection. He suffered pain for the rest of his life, and recurring infections, which necessitated several surgeries through the years. He did walk with a limp, that grew more and more pronounced as he aged, due to his bad leg being left significantly shorter than the other. In late episodes, he did any scenes where he was active in the morning, then later in the day when the pain would be worse they'd shoot scenes of him sitting. While filming the Gunsmoke movies they would sometimes have a stunt double to walk for him.
