'''The White Buffalo''' is a 1977 Western thriller movie directed by [[J. Lee Thompson]] and starring [[Charles Bronson]] as Wild Bill Hickok. The movie is inspired by the famous Herman Melville's novel ''Moby-Dick''. In Autumn 1874, Hickok is on the hunt for the mysterious white buffalo that roams the mountains of Colorado. He teams up with Sioux warrior, Crazy Horse, whose daughter was killed by the white beast.

Wild Bill Hickok ([[Charles Bronson]]) uses a pair of [[Single Action Army]] "Quickdraw" revolvers fitted with stag horn grips as his main sidearm.  He carries them tucked in a red sash like the real Hickok did with his two [[Colt 1851 Navy]] six-shooters. In some scenes, they switch to visually modified [[Colt New Service]] revolvers (see below) 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. When Hickok is ambushed by several of Capt. Tom Custer's officers and NCOs in the saloon, two of them disarm Hickok and fire his revolvers.

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.

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.

The White Buffalo is a 1977 Western thriller movie directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Charles Bronson as Wild Bill Hickok. The movie is inspired by the famous Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick. In Autumn 1874, Hickok is on the hunt for the mysterious white buffalo that roams the mountains of Colorado. He teams up with Sioux warrior, Crazy Horse, whose daughter was killed by the white beast.


The following weapons were used in the film The White Buffalo:


Revolvers

Single Action Army

Wild Bill Hickok (Charles Bronson) uses a pair of Single Action Army "Quickdraw" revolvers fitted with stag horn grips as his main sidearm. He carries them tucked in a red sash like the real Hickok did with his two Colt 1851 Navy six-shooters. In some scenes, they switch to visually modified Colt New Service revolvers (see below) 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. When Hickok is ambushed by several of Capt. Tom Custer's officers and NCOs in the saloon, two of them disarm Hickok and fire his revolvers.
