Dirty Harry (1971) Smith & Wesson 29

Dirty Harry (1971)
Clint Eastwood as Harry Callahan
Smith and Wesson Model 29 - .44 Mag.

This Smith and Wesson Model 29 was used by Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry and Magnum Force (1972). It was a gift from Eastwood and Warner Brothers to film writer / director John Milius, who wrote significant parts of Dirty Harry and is credited with writing the screen play 
for Magnum Force. The pistol received notoriety as being the "most powerful handgun in the world" and prompted civilian Model 29 purchases to skyrocket following the film's success.
