Many people do not realize that of the group of Dirty Harry Holsters that were made for the Prop House that supplied the Production Company, a couple were for a 5" barrelled S&W "N" Frame (with an old-style tension screw that had long been eliminated due to functional problems); the holster used in the film was actually one of those 5" models, not the proper 6.5" models that were supplied. This can be seen in certain shots in the first film where the face of the cylinder sits midway in the cylinder cut-out.

You have to wonder why they would use the 5" holster instead of the 6.5" ones. In the scene where Harry is at the hospital getting the shotgun shot picked out of his leg after foiling the bank robbery, you can see his gun does not fit his holster.
