Yep one of the stranger things in the movie. It makes sense and as a shooter I understand the purpose, but it sort of does in the "Most powerful handgun in the world" line.

On the DVD commentary John Milus the screenwriter notes that it shouldn't be "light special", but a lighter load. Like an 180 grain bullet compared to 200+ grain. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 17:33, 16 October 2009 (UTC) | |||

That Model 29 has a 6 1/2" barrel. If you were to put the Model 29 with the 6.5" barrel and the other model with the 8 3/8" barrel you would see a noticable difference. I believe they might have used the longer barrel version for some shots for dramatic purposes, but mostly it's the 6.5" model. S&W stopped making the 6.5" and went to the 6" version in the late 70's. Which is what Eastwood uses in Sudden Impact and Dead Pool. Jcordell
AS for ammunition, Harry probably meant he's using a .44 light magnum, think of it like a .44 spl+P. "Light special load" may mean specially made and not a 44 special. There are some reduced recoil magnum rounds out there.
