| == Single Action Army ==
| |
|
| |
| Wild Bill Hickok ([[Charles Bronson]]) uses a pair of [[Single Action Army]] Revolvers fitted with stag horn grips as his main sidearm. They have 4 3/4" barrels (making them "Civilian" (or "Quickdraw") models). These are likely standing in for the two .36 caliber cap & ball [[Colt 1851 Navy|Colt Model 1851 Navy Revolvers]] that the real Wild Bill Hickok carried. He carries them tucked in a red sash like the real Hickok did with his two Colt Navy six-shooters. In some other scenes though, he has them in his pockets and tucked in his boots. In some scenes, they switch to [[Colt New Service]] revolvers with similar stag horn grips, likely because Bronson was unable to fire a single-action revolver quick enough to meet the script's requirements for those scenes. Chief Crazy Horse ([[Will Sampson]]) carries a revolver that might be a Colt Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model with a 7 1/2" barrel tucked in his belt, but it is never clearly seen. It is only fired in one scene when "Wild Bill" Hickok uses it near the end of the film. That scene takes place at night, thus it is very dark and identifying this pistol is very hard. The Army officers who ambush Hickok in the saloon also use Single Action Army Revolvers and two of them disarm Hickok of his own revolvers and use them.

| == Colt New Service (mocked up to look like a Colt Single Action Army) ==
| |
|
| |
| In some scenes, Wild Bill Hickok's Single Action Army revolvers switch to [[Colt New Service]] revolvers fitted with stag horn grips similar to the ones on the Single Action Army Revolvers in scenes where fast shooting and quick-draw is required. When the actor is unable to fire a single-action quick enough to meet the requirements of the script in some scenes, a double-action revolver is given to them to use, and since a Colt New Service would be an anachronism in this film (because the real Wild Bill Hickok was murdered in 1876 and the Colt New Service wasn't invented until 1898) they added a fake ejector to the gun to make it look like a Colt Single Action Army.

|
| |
| Wild Bill Hickock ([[Charles Bronson]]) carries one along with a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellowboy" rifle. Later on, Cheif Crazy Horse ([[Will Sampson]]) offers one he took off a dead man to Hickok, thinking he didn't own a long gun, but Hickok tells him that the long gun that his friend, Charlie Zane ([[Jack Warden]]) was using belonged to him, and that Zane didn't own a long gun.
