Travis Bickell, Harry Callahan or James Bond???

[Mike SC Hunter]

Chuck and Harry...............and Charles Bronson if help is needed.

There is no competition in my mind - Harry Callahan.

Eastwood/Callahan for the win.

 

[davmor19]

Callahan wins.

"and 007 isn't a gunfighter."

debatable- but that debate would only include a Walther .32

Don't forget his beretta .25 and later his Walther 9mm (courtesy of the Chinese, so it was probably a Norinco knock off).

Dirty Harry not even close. Except for Lee Marvin in Point Blank!

Dirty Harry, hands down.

 

[DoubleNickel]

My answer is “all of the above”

Who the hell is Travis Bickel?

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.

Of course the answer was Harry.
He’s no doubt the initial reason I’m on this forum and own some S&W. So far all I own is S&W, but since I got on to the kick on owning, I’ve been going down a lot of rabbit holes, including movies that these were used in, among other revolvers, manufacture, reloading, and every other thing associated with owning a firearm, But the initial reason I will have to admit is “Dirty Harry”.
The 29-2 6.5 is perfectly aesthetic.

Sgt Murtaugh?

 

[el_june]

Dirty Harry all the way…

 

[BigMuddy]

Sgt Murtaugh?

That’s a model 19.

 

[dsk]

Yes, Murtaugh carried a non-P&R 4" Model 19 with Pachmayr Presentation grips.

Which one is the better gun handler?

I'm predisposed to go with Callahan, he practices and competes (Magnum Force).

Bickle is a bad guy and 007 isn't a gunfighter.

His wrist grabbing support hand makes me turn my head and cough every time I watch it. I know, it looks cooler to the a mis-informed audience, but Harry, really???

 

[erikpolcrack]

i dont get the point...

you have an english actor playing with a gun, who most likely crapped his pants at the idea of touching a gun.

An american actor who has always been in the category of "mentally impaired" play acting as a vigilante, ironically the first woke white knight charecter..

Or Clint Eastwood, who is visibly tired the **** out in each calahan film. The same weariness the charecter is supposed to have.


Harry is the only choice

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

Are you trying to imply that somebody other than Harry used one of these firearms?

Back at the SHOT show in 2012 Smith and Wesson had about a dozen firearms on display in their booth. This is one of the revolvers they brought with them

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.
