What is Your Favorite Dirty Harry Movie? And guns used in it?

Definitely the original and the Smith 44 he carried. That shoulder holster Nd the way he got ketchup on his shirt. The way he turned around and fired (did he know it was empty? Or did he just not care?)

The epitome of cool.

Sudden impact, if only for that beautiful Automag!!!

My favorite gun from "Dirty Harry," is the Winchester Model 12 the bank robber/bad guy (Albert Popwell) uses. A good shotgun is a good thing to have.

"You got to ask yourself do you feel lucky?"...
"Well..do you punk?"
Got to be the S&W mod 29

Still the first one.
Mostly because, growing up in the far North Bay area at the time, it was cool to recognize where things in the movie occurred.

Well I had to buy an 44 AMP just because. Then some years ago sold it like an idiot. Still have an 8 inch model 29 though. Oh well to be young and smarter again!!

The guns...from the Internet Movie Firearms Data Base.

Honestly, I like them all.

I went ahead and picked “Sudden Impact”. Mostly because it was the first Dirty Harry series movie that I got to see on the big screen. Love that model 29 but that was also the first time I saw and got to shoot a .44 Auto Mag Pistol (AMP). A guy at the range let me shoot his. He bought it and his 2 model 29s because of Clint Eastwood’s movies.

The cool thing about all these movies are the revolvers. Love me some revolvers.

The first one was (still is) my favorite. And my favorite gun in the movie was that Model 70, 458 Winchester Magnum Dirty Harry chose when he was planning on ambushing the bad guy from the roof of a building across the street. I've always liked the looks of the Model 70 "African" anyway, but the fact that "Dirty Harry Callahan" chose a 458 Winchester Magnum for the job represents one of the high-points of Hollywood silliness as far as I'm concerned.

44 automag FTW--at least for me.

Although the Enforcer gets attention for the LAW and the grenade launcher.

Magnum Force suppressed Python of course lol

The first is my favorite, but I like 'em all. The S & W was best, but ---- act of heresy here ---- I just like the movies, the guns are secondary.

No flaming you're entitled to your opinion I think the first movie is a true classic typically the sequels are... well ...they're sequels and with the exception of The Godfather 2 most sequels are not as good as the first movie.
Now I've done it! the moderators will kick my butt for being off-topic

Of course the Smith &Wesson model 29 but for pure punch you can’t beat the M 72 Laws rocket launcher. When you absolutely positively gotta have them dead right now!

The high power hunting rifle used in the football field scene.

Dirty Harry and the most powerful handgun made .

My favorite really was when Dirty Harry went back to 1865 and became Josey Wales.

Or was Harry Callahan really Josey Wales' great-great -grandson?

Aside from the revolver lore, let's not forget the Dirty Harry movies were social commentary, just like any other suspense-thriller motion picture of the post-VN era. In this case, the fear of an emerging police state with super-cops who were more trigger-happy, civil-rights-busting semi-criminals themselves than the more "woke" civil-rights, social justice warriors they persecuted. It wasn't a gun movie, folks.

And before that when he was Joe "Blondie" Manco, grifting with Tuco, a Mexican career criminal and con artist, searching for stolen Confederate gold.
Best movie line ever, in my opinion:
"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

Dirty Harry ... a classic

I'm gonna be in the minority, but I like Magnum Force. Mostly because I am a big Robert Urich fan. I would say the suppressed Python for laughs, but of course the "most powerful handgun in the world" is the best weapon in that movie.

A man's got to know his limitations!

Gotta be Magnum Force. Superior story, Moto Guzzis, S&W Model 76 (my absolute, all-time favorite SMG), '97 & 37 (another favorite) shotguns, Moto Guzzis (see: favorites), Hi Power(again), Beretta 1951, oh - and some Moto Guzzis!

Not so much agenda pandering as EVERY OTHER preceding and following D.H. movie.

Fine outdoor competition and indoor range scenes.

*Fat Man* De Gorgio running a respectable course with a Model 10 snub-nose (and, again) on the Combat range.

A couple of great chase scenes.

Oh yeah... and mirrored Aviator Ray-Bans out the wa-zoo..... with Moto Guzzis!


Almost forgot:
Eric Stratton; Animal House
Dan Tanna; Vegas or: David Spenser if one prefers Spnser For Hire... and who wouldn't?!?
Ken Huchinson; Starsky & Hutch
and
That *other guy* all wearing oil filters for hearing protection.

Todd.

I chose the original, still my favorite, but the RC car thing in Dead Pool is still pretty cool!!

After the first two, Harry was more of a cartoon, and it was obvious Clint was doing the movies for a cash cow. Even as a kid though, I thought the .458 Magnum for a sniper rifle was dumb. That said, the S&W Model 29 is a wonderfully made beautiful handgun. That is the only firearm out of the movies that I would want (but I would prefer a single action).
