Hannie Caulder ([[Raquel Welch]]) carries an English Tranter self-cocking revolver. Based on the size, this is likely a 54-bore (.442 calibre) model.  In the film, this revolver is scratch-made by a gunsmith named Bailey ([[Christopher Lee]]).

Based on the size, this is likely a 54-bore (.442 caliber) model.  In the film, this revolver is scratch made by a gunsmith named Bailey ([[Christopher Lee]]). Note that this particular Tranter has a double trigger self-cocking mechanism in which one trigger rotates the cylinder and cocks it while the other trigger actually fires it; the movie trope concerning such a talented gunsmith in Mexico is quite factual as it appears that certain Mexican gunsmiths may be responsible for the mysterious "long cylinder" conversions of 1860 Colt revolvers (these conversions are definitely not factory, and they display incredible craftsmanship).

Tom Price ([[Robert Culp]]) also carries an [[Adams Revolver]] on his strong side. He uses it to shoot the bottles that Hannie is missing with his Smith & Wesson and also in the gun fight with a group of bandits. When they arrive at Bailey's home ([[Christopher Lee]]) Bailey asks Price if that old Adams has blown up yet. Price replies that it's still holding true. This isn't an implausible scenario. The Confederacy imported approximately 1,000 Adams revolvers and there was a company in Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts that made a copy of the Adams. The Union purchased several hundred of the American Adams during the civil war as well.

Though directed by an American and starring well known American actors, "Hannie Caulder" was a product of Tigon British Film Productions,  a UK production company famous for such B grade horror movies as ''Witchfinder General'' (1968), ''The Blood on Satan's Claw'' (1971), and ''The Creeping Flesh''(1972). "Hannie Caulder" came to fruition because Tony Tenser, head of Tigon, had always wanted to make a Western and [[Raquel Welch]] was willing to make a western. The movie was filmed in Spain during the winter of 1971 and was distributed by Paramount in North America. In an interview with Gerald Peary, director [[Quentin Tarantino]] (famous for his love of cult and grindhouse movies) said the film was one of his inspirations for ''[[Kill Bill]]'', stating: "Why I love ''Hannie Caulder'' so much is [[Robert Culp]].  He is so magnificent in that movie.
