The gun forever identified with Inspector Harry Callahan. Introduced
in 1956, the Model 29 was for many years the most powerful handgun
available, until supplanted by Freedom Arms .454 Casull revolver in
1983. By the early 1970s the pistol had lost much of its glamor and was
considered a curiosity, the purview of collectors and some law
enforcement officers. While working on Dirty Harry, Clint
Eastwood had two Model 29s built from parts for the film – the model
having been dropped from the S&W line. The resulting screen
appearance greatly increased the desirability of the revolver, and the
Model 29 has remained popular, and in production, ever since.
The Model 29 comes in several factory barrel lengths – stats for the 6
1/2″ barrel are above – but will also work for the 8 3/6″ and 10 5/8″
versions as well. The 4″ and 5″ barrels use the stat block above but
with a range of 12/24/48.
