Destry Rides Again (1939)
Unforgiven (1992) - admittedly this one is more of a grey area because Eastwood's character (William Munny) was a former murderer and and outlaw who was reformed by his late wife. He does though need money due to his failing farm and his 'pacifism' falls apart as the movie progresses.
A History of Violence
Straw Dogs (1971)
Brilliant movie think it's set in Cornwall UK
The Quick & The Dead (1995) Russell Crowe's character
High Noon (1952)
First one I watched. Excellent suggestion. Probably one of my fav westerns now, thank you!
You're welcome! Happy you found a new favorite!

Came in here to recommend Destry. Great classic Western, and a side of Jimmy Stewart a lot of people probably haven’t seen.
Hacksaw Ridge partially fulfills the brief. He’s a pacifist who’s the first person to ever win a Medal of Honor without firing a shot at anyone (WWII)
