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.

I read (or was told) the prop gun was actually a .41 magnum.

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
No ball comparator, I reject this film. :biggrinjester: :biggrinjester: "rlol"

Seems Legit. I bet that is one big xray machine.
forget the machine and the distance and Kilovolts of energy it would take to penetrate a plane length wise ( not possible )
Where do you get film that size and where do you develop it ?

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.

You sure it wasn't a Magnum PI? That thing could break the skin and cause an infection you know.
