They Call Me Trinity (Italian: Lo Chiamavano Trinità) is a 1970 Italian Spaghetti Western directed by Enzo Barboni (Credited as: E.B Clucher). The film stars Terence Hill and Bud Spencer as Trinity and Bambino, respectively.
Against their father's dying wishes, the half-brothers Trinity and Bambino begin to distance themselves from the criminal world by becoming sheriffs of their town. Meanwhile, the corrupt Major Harriman attempts to expel a group of Mormons from his land with the intention of using the property for his ambitions.
The following weapons were used in the film They Call Me Trinity:
Revolvers
Colt 1851 Navy
Trinity (Terence Hill) uses a brass-framed Colt 1851 Navy as his personal handgun throughout the film; Bambino (Bud Spencer) gets to use his brother's revolver on several occasions.

Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy"
The Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" is the most widely used rifle in the film and the only lever-action rifle. Unlike other Spaghetti Westerns, the Winchester Model 1866's used in the film does not appear to be modern Uberti replicas, as the receivers do not have small loading gates or brass rings.
