Really I need a separate post, but some basic info... these 6 revolvers are all made by Smith & Wesson. The 3 on the left are 357 Magnum, probably my favorite caliber to shoot in a handgun. The 3 on the right are 44 Magnum... these are definitely more of ...
Dirty Harry Callahan carried a Model 29
By: MichaelC : November 29th, 2020-07:43
That is a blued 44 Magnum, and it "can blow your head clean off". That movie really elevated the 44 Magnum to cult status, and Harry carried an 8 3/8" barrel length.
