Travis Bickell, Harry Callahan or James Bond???

Sean Connery was a Scot, a veteran, and certainly no wimp. Check him out.

Yeah but, It was Roger Moore holding the 29 not Sir Sean. His summation of Roger Moore was spot on.

Connery is definitely Bond, but I did like Roger Moore’s tongue in cheek style.
Live and let die was 1973. Probably the height of sales and Manufacture for the 29, so it could have a S&W product placement just to boost sales of the nickel, since they’d have the metal done and the blueing dept would have been backed up. Just a thought..

Is that the actual gun used in the movie?
That would be one of the coolest things in the world to own that I can think of, but it is Obviously, and rightly in the S&W museum.
Yes it is

Inspector Callahan for the win!

Bond is cool, but real hero’s don’t carry a PPk.

Bickle is nothing more than a perverted, taxi driving vigilante who saved a young prostitute. Hardly a hero.
 
Oh come on, he flew that BD-5J through that hangar!!!

Dirty Harry made Smith & Wesson a household name. You can ask anyone who is completely clueless about guns, and they will immediately know what a Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum is and who is most famous for packing one. Not as many people know Travis Bickel (I haven't even seen Taxi Driver yet). As for Roger Moore, I believe his use of a .44 Magnum in Live and Let Die was a deliberate jab at Clint Eastwood. I never liked him as Bond either, so he would be last on any list of mine.

Roger Moore was the "Saint", I like the model 29, but yeah, Shaun Connery is James Bond! and that snow flake Remington Steele, he's a real panty waist, and don't even get me started on Daniel Craig,,, and beside all that, Shaun was the real "Ladies Man" of the bunch, and I like nice guns, in fact there is a triple lock floating around that is the most gorgeous thing on the planet? but what on this rolling ball of rock and mud is more amazing than a beautiful "woman", and our boy Clint, he was kinda stuck with "Sondra"??
 
I believe Nick Nolte followed Clint's 44 Mag lead by having a 4" 629 in the original 48 Hours film.
