Charlie Prince:

"For a one legged rancher, he was one tough son of a bitch."

But we, the audience, almost never were addressed with this handicap of his. He seemed able to walk just fine throughout.

Did you people think of Dan as limpy, when you saw him, except when you were told, i.e. when it is mentioned by the characters themselves?

Yeah he didn't seem to sell it very much, most evidence t in the final chase sceen...he seemed mostly fine.
So if it's pretty much a "non factor" for the character/story then that begs the question, why were we made aware of it at all?
Whatever. Really good movie though IMO.

There is a couple of shots where he clearly limps, but I suppose it could have been more specifically addressed

They should have left this out of the story, it was woeful, he's running and jumping with the best of them in the final chase scene and we're supposed to believe he's got a wooden leg? 
