Quoted: Quoted: Click Ever wonder how many Model 29's this sold? At the cop shop I worked in at the time the backorder time went to 2 or 3 years, depending on the options. I got my own Dirty Harry 29 when my boss stupidly opened up the sealed cardboard box they came in with a ball point pen. We got a few in and he wanted to see one close up. A line was scribed across the top of the wooden presentation box. We figured it would be difficult to get a new box, so I was allowed to buy it on the spot. Otherwise it would have taken me another 2 or 3 years to get one. I have no idea about the number sold because of the movie, but it did overwhelm S&W pretty badly. |

Any gun that can take you're head clean off or crack the engine block of a Mack truck is worth owning  Speed |

Ever notice that that same black guy played the pimp that got shot on the side of the road by the "Bad cop" in the second Dirty Harry movie.....
Same black guy played Big Ed Mustafo down in Harlem in the 3rd Dirty Harry movie..... and the SAME black guy played Harry's partner in the 4th Dirty Harry movie. Same guy in all 4 movies

Why is it that if a .44 will take your head clean off, it just makes a neat little hole in the bad guy's leg, and he's up and walking very shortly after being released? If we're arguing continuity it should have done more damage to the Scorpio killer's leg. That, and while the gun MAY be chambered in .44 magnum, he carried it loaded with light .44 special loads, as said in Magnum Force when he's talking to the cops on the indoor range. "What kind of load do you use in that .44?" "It's a light special". So in reality he isn't carrying the "most powerful handgun in the world", but I can suspend what I think of the elements of No Reason and enjoy the movie. |
