	Magnum Force has perpetuated a false notion that Dirty Harry uses .44 Special in his S&W Model 29 due to confusing dialogue in the SFPD firing range scene; Harry encounters some rookie officers on the firing range, who then chat up with him. One of them asks what load he uses in his revolver and Callahan states: ''"It's a light Special. This size gun it gives you better control and less recoil than a .357 Magnum with wadcutters."'' A viewer could easily misunderstand that Harry meant .44 Special rounds, however in the 2008 video release of the film, ''Magnum Force'' screenwriter [[John Milius]] confirms in the audio commentary that the "light Special" line was in fact misinterpreted by the cast and crew and actually meant he used a specially prepared lighter .44 Magnum load.

	The motorcycle cops featured in the film: ~~Traffic~~ Officers John Davis ([[David Soul]]), Philip Sweet ([[Tim Matheson]]), Alan "Red" Astrachan ([[Kip Niven]]) and Michael Grimes ([[Robert Urich]]) carry 4" barreled [[Colt Python]] revolvers, as does just about every other officer of the SFPD. During the annual San Francisco Police Pistol Competition, Davis lets Insp. Harry Callahan ([[Clint Eastwood]]) try out his Python: he deliberately misses a target to analyze the slug with a ballistics microscope. At the end of the film, Lieutenant Neil Briggs ([[Hal Holbrook]]), using a Colt Python, confronts Callahan after losing his Model 19 Snub as well.

At the end of the film, Lieutenant Neil Briggs ([[Hal Holbrook]]), using a Colt Python, confronts Callahan after losing his Model 19 Snub as well.
	In the film, the guns are shown capable of having a suppressor attached by sliding it onto the end of the barrel. Almost all revolvers have a gap between the barrel and cylinder which allows gases to escape, as well as sound, meaning they cannot be effectively suppressed. The device shown in the movie also seems to be attached to the weapon purely by friction between the barrel and the long side arms; it seems fairly likely that the first attempt to fire with it in place would shoot the device off the end of the gun were it actually trapping propellant gases rather than simply being a functionless barrel extension.

	Magnum Force has perpetuated a false notion that Dirty Harry uses .44 Special in his S&W Model 29 due to confusing dialogue in the SFPD firing range scene; Harry encounters some rookie officers on the firing range, who then chat up with him. One of them asks what load he uses in his revolver and Callahan states: ''"It's a light Special. This size gun it gives you better control and less recoil than a .357 Magnum with wadcutters."'' A viewer could easily misunderstand that Harry meant .44 Special rounds, however in the 2008 video release of the film, ''Magnum Force'' screenwriter [[John Milius]] confirms in the audio commentary that the "light Special" line was in fact misinterpreted by the cast and crew and actually meant he used a specially prepared lighter .44 Magnum load.
