In that third picture I see a Browning Hi-Power, a Reichsrevolver most likely the '79 but could be the '83, the barrel seems a bit short, an SAA possibly a copy, an M&P Smith, a .22 or .25 pocket pistol, the rest are obscured in the pic, but just a few frames later are visable. On the shelf I see a .32 or .38 topbreak, the second could be as well, but it's just a bit tough to tell. The second pic shows an AR-15 or a copy over Callahan's shoulder, note the sight. As for the third I can make out on the right what seems like the muzzle break of a Lee-Enfield Jungle Carbine, but sporterizing could explain that away.

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.
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. Jcordell
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, I guess. --Predator20 17:33, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
(took the liberty of removing this commentary from the page. It belongs here on the discussion page. --Jcordell 20:08, 19 October 2009 (UTC)) Actually the director said in the commentary that he wrote the line wrong. They are actually light 44 magnum rounds, not .44 special rounds.--QBert 06:06,
