Deputy Barney Fife(sigh) finest Lawman ever to wear the sheild.

What did he carry? anyone know?

Bernard P. Fife was known to weild a Colt Official Police with a 4" tube. I have heard that he sometimes had a S&W M&P, but I have yet to personally see a clear picture to verify same.

"There are three reasons why we have such a low crime rate here in Mayberry: there's the Sheriff, me, and (tapping his holster) baby makes three".

The baddest would have to be Léon (played by Jean Reno) in "Léon: The Professional". He used a 6" S&W 586 in several scenes. If you haven't seen it you should. I am convinced that Léon is the baddest movie character ever.

He does kick some major *** in that movie, then turns out to have a big heart. One of my favs.

The 2 assassins in Don Siegel's "The Killers"(1964)

Played by Lee Marvin and Clu Gulager,co-starring Angie Dickenson and Ronald Reagan in his last movie role,(as the bad guy).If you think Lee was a badass in Point Blank,you gotta see this.

Maurice Boscarelli AKA Bosco in Third Watch gets my vote. Hr carried a S&W dbl action only 9mm (at least in a few episodes).

John Wayne in McQ. He carried a number of guns but during the snatching of the drugs in the hospital he was packing a snub Model 10.

There was also Michael Chiklis as Detective Vic Mackey. Did he carry a 4506?

And he was a stone cold killer

I am goling to have to go with Clint Eastwood here.He has been a great on screen representative for S&W.Why?He really likes them.
I will admit that I have not read every one of the post responses here ,so this may have already been mentioned.If so,my apologies.
If anyone remembers "The Gauntlet" you may also remember that Eastwood was using either a Mod.19 or 66(I can't remember which myself

). If you look closely at the scene where he was in the phonebooth you will see that it was one of the 2 1/2 inch square butt versions,very rare.
It has been said that this was one of the production models and not a converted one,and this particular revolver was actually Eastwood's own personal gun. I saw an article on that several years ago.
Then we have the Big .44 in the Dirty Harry flicks,along with the Bloodwork gun,named because of the movie of the same name.
I think he best typifies an S&W revolver fan in his on screen persona.

George Clooney (Seth Gecko) carried an Astra Terminator .44 Magnum in Dusk Till Dawn, not a Smith & Wesson. He's a goof anyway.

Dirty Harry was a little bit before my time but Clint is still the toughest around. My wife said it the best referring to Clint in grand tarino "that guy doesn't even say anything and he looks tough"

folkenheath · Mar 1, 2012

I vote Clint for all the stated reasons.

Also, I know it wasn't a smith in that movie, but one of my favorite quotes was...."dyin' ain't much of a livin' boy"

Robert Culp as Texas Ranger Hoby Gilman in the TV series Trackdown. He carried a Smith & Wesson .45 Schofield instead of the Colt that almost every other TV western hero carried.

How bad was he? The episodes were often from actual Texas Ranger case files, and the show was endorsed by the Texas Rangers and the State of Texas. Also, Steve McQueen's Josh Randall of Wanted: Dead or Alive was introduced in an espisode titled "The Bounty Hunter."

Robert Culp and Steve McQueen had raced motorcycles together in New York. Culp convinced McQueen to join him in LA where he started his stellar career. The guy who was responsible for Steve McQueen's TV and movie career has to be "bad."

Don't forget Snake Plissken in Escape from New York and Escape from L.A. I believe a scoped Model 67 in the first and then a couple of beautiful Performance Center N-frames in the second.

#1 goes to Dirty Harry.
#2 has to be Sledge. I loved that show and have the DVDs.
Just my opinion. All good choices here.
