Hombre is the classic 1967 Western starring Paul Newman as John Russell, a white man raised by Apache Indians who now must try to assimilate back into the non-Indian culture. After selling away his inheritance and putting out some townsfolk, he finds himself riding out of town with the very same people. When the stagecoach is ambushed, the passengers must now depend on Russell to survive. The film was the sixth collaboration between Newman and director Martin Ritt (Hud) and was based on a novel by Elmore Leonard (who also wrote Get Shorty).
The following weapons were used in the film Hombre:

Single Action Army
The Colt Single Action Army is the most prominently used gun by most of the characters including John Russell (Paul Newman) and Cicero (Richard Boone).
Colt Lightning Shopkeeper
When Cicero's (Richard Boone) gang robs the stagecoach, they find what appears to be a Colt Lightning Shopkeeper revolver on Dr. Favor (Fredric March).
Winchester 1876
John Russell (Paul Newman) carries a Winchester Model 1876 rifle with a short magazine.
Winchester 1892
Members of Cicero's gang are seen using the Winchester Model 1892 rifle.
Coach Shotgun
Henry Mendez (Martin Balsam) carries a Double Barreled Coach Shotgun in the film.
Movie prop Colt Police Positive
In the final confrontation, Russell's Single Action Army is replaced in some shots with what appears to be double-action, modern Colt Police Positive revolver modified to resemble the SAA. This kind of prop was frequently used in Westerns (see the Police Positive below), when an actor wasn't able to use a Single Action Army with the speed required by the script.
