Few firearms have had the popularity born right off the silver screen such as Dirty Harry's S&W model 29, 44 Magnum "most powerful handgun in the world". America fell in love not just with this powerful revolver but the Justice handed down without the legal technicalities that got criminals off.
Smith & Wesson discontinued the model 29 for awhile. But the Dirty Harry series is timeless. Every time the movies air, interest is sparked and more guns sell. The newest Classic in production is the same 6 inch blue model Harry Callahan carried with the addition of a lock out safety and internal firing pin instead of the firing pin being on the hammer. This video clearly demonstrates the differences in recoil between the 44 Magnum and 44 Special ammunition. The model 29 is a true American classic.
