I'm not a super big fan. However: "The series features other famous cinematic guns including the Magnum 45, as used by Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry" Last I checked It was a S&W N-Frame in .44 Mag.
Hello. My name is Red and I used to carry a .45. Now I carry a 9mm and it's getting easier to admit every day.

I think you were right the first time, or it's a buckmark like Dave said.RogueUSMC wrote:Actually no...the bottom is not a Ruger...I'll go with Colt Woodsman

I read (or was told) the prop gun was actually a .41 magnum.Reds45ACP wrote:I'm not a super big fan. However: "The series features other famous cinematic guns including the Magnum 45, as used by Clint Eastwood as Dirty Harry" Last I checked It was a S&W N-Frame in .44 Mag.

No ball comparator, I reject this film.92f-fan wrote:I mentioned in a post about reloading that I used to own an Xray company
Here is an Xray I took of a few of my guns from the 80s
Points to folks who can guess the models ...
Its a picture of an OLD 14x17 film xray backlit by my Dell Monitor and photographed with an IPhone so the quality has suffered some
Looks like I over exposed the wood grips on the revolver ... Too many KV of power used ...
I wasnt doing it to deglamorize - i was doing it cause it was cool ..
Its clear I should have taken the image with the magazines in the pistols and a round in the chamber

I think this highlights how little antigun types understand guns and gun owners or even the real appeal of guns.
Also a silencer with no baffels? What!

Indeed. I'm pretty sure that's just a movie prop though.psijac wrote:I think this highlights how little antigun types understand guns and gun owners or even the real appeal of guns.

You sure it wasn't a Magnum PI? That thing could break the skin and cause an infection you know.Reds45ACP wrote:I'm not a super big fan.
