I think it was actually Ojala who stood in for Matt Dillon in the opening scenes of Gunsmoke episodes.
I saw a TV Guide feature on James Arness and the gun that he kept at home was a S&W K-38, then pretty much THE Los Angeles cop gun. Don't know if he even owned a single-action, or had much interest in guns.
Hugh O'Brien has been an outspoken advocate of gun control.
Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, and Robert Stack were probably the most pro-gun stars who actually used a lot of guns for hunting and the like. Stack was a champion skeet shooter. Oh: Charlton Heston in later life joined that number, of course.
I forgot Tom Selleck, but he's about to star on a New York cop show. I hope the writers don't make him demean gun ownership! I hate shows set in New York!
