I've always wanted the '' Dirty Harry '' version/model of the 44 Mag.
What do I need to know about that model to get what I want?
Thanks for the help!

Its a 29-2 blued 6 1/2 inch bbl. 44 mag. Also welcome to the forum

Mule is correct, 29-2 with 6 or 6.5" barrel. I think the one used was probably one with an 'N' prefix. Earlier ones were 'S' prefix.
Welcome to the forum.

The guns used were Model 29-2 with 6-1/2" barrels. According to Roy Jinks there were two of them provided before the shooting started by the Factory. MAK

Here's my .44, an early 29-2 "S" serial number with the 6 1/2" barrel. I love this gun!

You can get a blued 6-1/2" 29 new from S&W in their "Classics" line, if you can deal with the internal lock.

When you use it, remember to squint and to grit your teeth when you talk, and to carefully count the number of rounds.

My son had one years ago but had to sell it and has regreted it ever since; his was stsinless .

I think there was a rumour back in the 70s that has since been debunked by Roy Jenks, in that supposedly S&W didn't have any Model 29s
and they shipped the movie company a 57 w/6 1/2" barrel since it would be tough to tell
the difference on screen.

I have one (29-2) but mine is a 4"

B-Justice the m57 has never had a 6.5" barrel, but with its 6" barrel it would have been almost impossible to tell from a M29. Too bad the C. Eastwood is not a forum member, he could set us straight. I'd go with Roy's explanation. I can still remember seeing the trailer before the movie came out. It got my attention as I recall saying" damn, that's a 44 magnun" to my soon to be wife. Bob

Hey Gents,
I don`t know for sure but I think that he had smooth presentation grips . Just different scenes they looked smooth .
