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.
