Dirty Harry's 29 doesn't work right..

That always gets me.

Ever notice how Superman just stands there, bullets bouncing harmlessly off his chest, as a thug runs his handgun empty, but then the Man of Steel ducks when the thug throws the empty gun at him?

The more I read about the Dirty Harry revolver, the more I suspect there was a wheelbarrow full of N-frames on set and whatever was grabbed was OK

All I know for sure is, when I walk through the woods with my 6.5" 29-2 in my Lawman leather shoulder holster, with my switchblade taped to my ankle, eating a hot dog the deer SCATTER for other mountains!

the third installment, the enforcer, was released in 1976

The first Dirty Harry film came out in 1971, the second in 1973, the third in 1977. The 25-5 was announced in 1978, but didn't hit dealers shelves until 1979. FWIW

I always love it when they cock a hammer on a Glock.

I catch movie mistakes all the time, but there was one in Saving Private Ryan that was just too bad to have allowed through the editing. Towards the end, at the big battle over the bridge, there is a very tight closeup of the .30 cal machine gun ammo being fed into the gun to show how low they were getting on ammo while Private uppon was crapping his pants and letting his fellow soldiers die. The rounds are CLEARLY blanks, with just a case and no bullet in them. I don;t know how a perfectionist like Spielberg, who hired all sorts of advisors, let that one get by him.

You are correct. Did you notice the actor who played the punk also played the pimp in the second Dirty Harry movie, Magnum Force?

How many times have you "heard" the hammer being cocked on Glock in the movies. Or worse yet, when the Glock misfires, you hear a "click-click" sound. I see this all the time when my wife is watching the LMN channel, or as I like to call it, the "How to kill your man" channel. It's funny but every one of their movies usually involves a gun of some sort and some real poor gun handling.

And in Sudden Impact he played Harry's cop friend.

He played Ed Mustafa in The Enforcer, too.
