Smith & Wesson Model 29

Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) returns with his ".44 Magnum", a Smith & Wesson Model 29 with an 8 3/8" barrel (this time not a Model 25 standing in) as his famous sidearm in the film.

Colt Python

Officer John Davis (David Soul) and the rest of the "Deathsquad" police officers carry 4" Colt Python revolvers, as well as just about every other officer of the SFPD. During the police shooting competition, Davis lets Insp. Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) try out his Python, in which he deliberately misses a target to analyze the slug with a ballistics microscope. In the film the guns are shown capable of being sound suppressed, while this particular revolver has a gap between the barrel and cylinder that is too great and allows gases to escape, as well as sound. Not to mention the guns are not built to thread a suppressor, so such a modification would be quite difficult. Callahan's partner Inspector Early Smith (Felton Perry) carries a 2" Python as his sidearm as well.
