The following guns were use in the film The White Buffalo:
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 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) also carries a Colt Single Action Army "Cavalry" Model with a 7 1/2" barrel.
Colt New Service
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. This is usually done when the actor is unable to fire a single-action quick enough to meet the requirements of the script in some scenes.
Sharps 1874 Carbine
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.
Winchester Model 1866 "Yellowboy"
Wild Bill Hickock (Charles Bronson) carries a second rifle, a Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy", which he uses to shoot several Indians. Charlie Zane (Jack Warden) is seen using it too and attempts to shoot Crazy Horse (Will Sampson) with it after they kill the White Buffalo.
