There is no competition in my mind - Harry Callahan.
OP
I'm with you on this, but if not for the movies, which would be your choice either aesthetically or to shoot?

Bickel, Callahan or Bond can't divide by zero.

Harry Callahan
Harry Callahan for sure.The reason I own 17 model 29's from 1956-1980!

Bob Richardson! A man after my own heart.

Which movie?? Variant?? SN??!?!
Can't be Bond. Can you imagine...
"Can you acertain whether I have fired six or only five? As you may recall, this firearm is perhaps the most powerful on our planet, and at this range will blow the olive most completely out of your martini, not to mention destroying the fine glassware in which it is contained..."

I'd have to go with Dirty Harry Callahan or Ranger J.J. McQuade (or even Cordell Walker, Texas Ranger). But don't forget about Jack Cates (Nick Nolte, "48 Hours") or Eugene Tackleberry (David Graf, "Police Academy")!

Dirty Harry!
deductive reasoning dictates Callahan.. Roger Moore is not the quintessential Bond.. eliminated.. de niro is a big snowflake hypocrite... eliminated..
Inspector Callahan remains victor of the 3 choices offered.. honorable mention to Tackleberry...

You all can choose but don't mess with Chuck. Detective Callahan was bad to the bone. Bond, as I recall, on the other hand was usually armed with a Walther PP. I suppose he really didn't want to hurt anyone too bad.
Don't know who Travis Bickel is. Roger Moore is NOT James Bond. So it has to be Harry Callahan. Actually I kind of liked Joe Piscopo and His 88 Magnum.

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.

Travis Bickle is the taxi driver character played by Robert Dinero (sp?
) in the movie Taxi Driver. I don't know what all the hype about that movie is…I didn't watch it until almost 40 years after it came out, then couldn't sit through the whole thing.BigMuddy

Lone Wolf McQuade… my favorite "bad" movie, has the coolest gun. 6 1/2" Engraved Nickel carried in a Bianchi 111, finger groove oversized grips, reeks of COOL. Terrible acting though.
Jack Cates' 4" sure holds a lot more ammo than mine. "Did I shoot 15 or 16?"

Lone Wolf McQuade.
The move came out in 1983. It looks like a 29-2 to me, but it could be a 29-3.

"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!

My answer is "all of the above"
Who the hell is Travis Bickel?
