Quick And The Dead - "A Gun" - Russell Crowe x Gene Hackman x Leonardo DiCaprio

I love how Russel Crowe's character's killer instincts slips out everytime Kid shows him a revolver

[@kahoaliiaiu7130]

What kind of guns did the Kid show

[@chrismc410]

@@kahoaliiaiu7130 a few Colt SAAs, a Remington 1875 .44, probably .44-40 to be exact, one S&W Model 3 Schofield sans trigger guard and ultimately a used, abused but functional Colt 1851 Navy Richards-Mason cartridge conversion from .36 Cap and Ball to .38 Long Colt, the metallic cartridge equivalent and granddaddy to the later .357 Magnum. Modern equivalents in my opinion: Eagle butt peacemaker w/Mexican emblem: a Colt, Kimber, Dan Wesson, Ed Brown, Les Baer 1911A1 in .38 Super, Mammoth ivory grips with color Mexican emblem. You can't get much more Mexican, handgun-wise than a .38 Super 1911A1. As military/police calibers like 9x19mm and .45 ACP are illegal for civilians in Mexico many .45 ACP 1911s have been traded for .38 Super 1911s north and south of the border for many years. 2015ish, the Mexican government added .38 Super to the ban list. The alternatives of 9x21 IMI, the .38 Super's predecessor, .38 ACP are legal as is the 9x23 Winchester and the old Soviet standby of 7.62x25mm Tokarev took the .38 Super's place. Remington New Model 1875 .44-40: 10mm Tanfoglio Stock II Optic w/silver grips. Sighted in and the CZ lock up should make it more accurate than a lot of stock guns and 13+1 capacity quite formidable. S&W Model 3 Scofield .45 Scofield sans trigger guard: Kimber, Dan Wesson, Ed Brown, Wilson Combat or Les Baer 1911A1 w/ Novak fiber optic sights, shortened pull 1.75-2.25 lb trigger pull, 10rd single stack 1911 in .460 Rowland w/compensator. As far as normal sized pistols go, about as meat-and-potatoes as I can think of off the top of my head and 25 minutes of thought. Regular Peacemaker: Glock 17 or 19. Ordinary looking, obvious and blends in. Simple tool like the Peacemaker before it. If you have decent money but can't afford the high-end stuff, you can't go wrong with a tried-and-true choice of a stock Glock 17 or 19 and 9x19mm. Colt 1851 Navy w/ Richards-Mason cartridge conversion: Hi-Point CF380. If you don't have any money to speak of and need to defend yourself ASAP and saving up is not an option. Ugly but shoots straight first-time, every time.

[@sindobrandnew]

3:28 "That gun shoots straight." 😂😂🤣

[@chrismc410]

The Hi-Point CF380 of its day: A used and abused Colt 1851 Navy Richards-Mason conversion. Why I picked a Hi-Point CF380? Closest thing price-wise and ballistics-wise. .38 Long Colt loaded the way it was back then was more-or-less equal in power to modern day .380 ACP with heavier bullets 110-158 grains as opposed to 90-110 grains for .380. Both uglier than sin but will shoot straight and reliably.

1800s: Guns $5 to $125 Today: 00s to the 000s, sometimes more

[@latacaelum]

Inflation, mate.

[@neoasura]

5 dollars in 1881 is worth 150 today, 125 was worth 3,782 dollars. Guns are actually cheaper nowadays.

[@Jo_Wardy]

@@neoasuraalso note the colt was 1 out of 30 ever made so the standard colt single action used in the army surplus may have been $20 but a special one may have been $120

[@ChairmanMo]

Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio! All in one scene, this is so damn good! The 'Kid' should have trolled his dad by giving Cort one of the better guns instead.

[@theduke7539]

in 1880, a colt single action army was 17.50. 120 dollars would buy you a horse, rifle, revolver, and probably a new saddle. Aint inflation a pain in the ass?

[@Seven_Leaf]

Yes, but on the other side people back then had very little money to make purchases even in the city. On the frontier they'd burn their houses when they moved to get the nails.

[@theduke7539]

@Brandon yes. And its worth noting the difference in how each item was handled back then. Bacuase 17.50 for a colt does not at all translate to the about 800 dollars we pay for a colt revolver today, yes they still make them. That is not the inflation part. Remember, these guns were about 90 percent hand made, there were very few machines to do this work. a $17.50 colt in 1880 was not just some large but manageable expense. No. Your average coal miner in 1880 brought home 12 dollars per month. Most middle class americans had to save for months to buy a colt. That is why in 1880, a colt was the crown jewel of a gun collection. But all guns back then were extremely expensive. everything from clothes to nails to tools were made by hand because the machines to make them cheap didnt exist. So they were all expensive well made products. Your average American in 1880 had never seen 120 dollars in one place in their entire lives.

[@newdefsys]

And making a dollar a day, it would only take 4 months to save up for all of that, providing you work 7 days a week and save every dollar.

[@theduke7539]

@NeDeS remember, the old west wasnt different to today, saving 25 percent of your wage was considered a frugal life style and unachievable for some.

[@guntertorfs6486]

And a visit to the whorehouse...

[@Jo_Wardy]

Damn those guns were expensive. $120 Dollars for a for action army revolver that is over a $1000 but only 30 ever made. Also solid silver handles that would make it another expensive weapon

Hey just what you see pal

[@EastonThehunter-oe3rr]

I love how there is obviously schofields and Remington but literally every character in this except for the Swede uses a Colt because they’re more recognizable

[@Jo_Wardy]

It is a movie though Hollywood loves a single action six shooter. But Gene Hackman used a cartridge made 70s era Remington new army.

[@Jo_Wardy]

But I’m confused why the kid never used Schofield since he said me and Jesse James think this is the best handgun ever made

[@machdude3366]

@@Jo_Wardy Sales tactic. He just rattled off 2 guns that are collectors pieces and is going for a tricked out custom piece for a customer to see if he would bite. Just because it is his most expensive gun doesn't mean he uses it.

Most good guns Today are uh $400 up to 2k

[@nicoflorence8342]

well in 1867 one guy bought 600 cattle for 5400$, which means 9$ per cattle. Today cattle are sold for around 800$-5000$ cheapest being a calf. And movie plot was in 1881 so it was kind of a high price for the scrap. but if you take inflation in the calculation, it was around the price where you can buy the same kind of straight shooting, rusted scrap.
