A Quick Look at the Smith & Wesson Model 29-2 8-3/8" barrel, .44 Magnum

A quick look at a recent acquisition, the venerable S&W Model 29 .44 Magnum. I've always wanted to own one and finally got a special deal with someone locally. It shoots well, although the sights were off for the magnum loads. Has to sight it in on the fly.
The 29-2 model features the Pinned barrel and Recessed Cylinders which is the hallmark of the older, higher quality Model 29s which are more sought after by collectors.

Hard to beat an old N Frame Smith.

Did Dirty Harry fire 8.3" or only 6.5"?

On the first movie, he used both, but on the sequels, he stuck with the 6.5 incher.
