magnum force........

yep.....ole' Dirty Harry was on the tube tonite.......

just gotta love the opening credits of that smith model 29.

no heavy full-lug barrel, him cocking the piece...... of course this is also the movie where he confesses he uses 44 spl at the range.

David Soul as the "bad cop"......with a 4" python non-the-less.

its been a good night.....

Re: magnum force........

I saw an advertisement for it, but don't remember what channel it was going to be on. I'll have to look thru Netflix and get all the movies in order of release.

Re: magnum force........

I love the Dirty Harry films too. Of all the remakes Hollywood is done I'm surprised they never have attempted to redo this one - not that I'd want them to, just surprised they haven't.

Re: magnum force........

That line about him shooting a "light special" is one of the worst lines in movie history. Anybody that would carry around that big ass M29 to shoot light specials in is an idiot.

I Love Dirty Harry movies, I have all five on DVD. But that line in the movie is stupid. It's not Mr. Dirty's fault the writers were idiots.

Re: magnum force........

A 240 gr bullet traveling at about 850 fps works for me although I agree anyone carrying a big honking M29 daily in a shoulder holster (to be kind) has a thing for punishment. I got the in/out straps for the Simply Rugged holster I got for my 4" Redhawk. Thats pretty funny and the closests I come to a masochist.

Re: magnum force........

...thanks for the promotion to idiot, Deadeye...ALL I would shoot in a .44 revolver would be a factory loaded Special round...it'll stop any man who ever walked and it's totally controllable...all the pain's on the correct end...

...by the way, ain't it about time to see some current pics of your dogs???other than the one on couch duty, they ain't showed up much lately...

Re: magnum force........

Luv' Dirty Harry! Always gotta watch when one of them is on th' tube. Remember when they first came out...every young Deputy and city Policeman had to have a M29. The Smith LE rep for our area was swamped for a coupla' years...
