Do you wanna know why people like Smith & Wesson ?

Eh, there are worse zombified threads out there.

I like Smith because they produce good firearms. 'nuff said.

For those of you that bought your first S&W before Clint was born, go back to sleep, you need your rest.

Cute, but no cigar!
Guess I'll go back to sleep now!

I was very much aware of the original post date, but since I missed it back then and knew you still posted here I had the need to comment. Remember, one cannot be held responsibile for what they do not say. It is two years later now and I am relatively sure most folks are much wiser.

this is a little known fact, but dirty harry's revolver WASNT a sw model 29. 44 magnum.

it was a .45 long colt!!!

they used the .45colt because, on TV its almost impossible to distinguish between a .44 barrel and a .45 barrel, and the .45colt was easier to load blanks for.

at least thats what ive heard...

I would love to have a m29 made in the 60's. They just don't make em like they used to.

I though it was due to reliability, good company ethics and their historical prowess in industrial America!?!

Nice collection of quotes


Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the writer Frank Miller was a fan of Dirty Harry but (like myself) was disappointed with "The Dead Pool". His response? The Sin City story with a non-highroad title that made it into the movie... you guessed it "Sin City". It's basically Bruce Willis with a S&W .44 Mag rescuing a girl named Nancy... that's right, Callahan

Oh, good; Dirty Harry is new again. Thanks a bunch. Next, I'll hear Ted Nugent in the elevator, and start looking long and hard at Sans a Belt slacks. I hate you...

I like Smith & Wessons because they have a smooth double action and because you can't get Colts any longer.

Smith and Wesson makes good quality firearms, they shoot well, they have a good reputation and they are Beautiful to look at too!

Below is a great reason to buy a new 6" 629 (SKU 163606)... Harry Callahan would approve. Fit it with some Hogue .500 Magnum monogrips, as delivered OEM on S&W's .460/.500 Magnums, and you won't limit it to 'Specials', as 'Harry' did. It is like a rifle with the UMC 180gr SJHPs - but just as much fun with my wimpy .44 Russians, too. I fitted it with the full power Wolff leaf and a 13# trigger return spring - what a great trigger! And... it's current production, too.

PS I thought the general consensus was that the first DH movie used the #57 (.41 Magnum) due to the lacking of a 29 in local stores. Also, the teaser photo's, etc, used the 8.375" barrel for 'artistic' effect, while he carried the 6"/6.5".

I had heard it was a .45 N frame (sorry, don't know the #) due to it was easier to load movie blanks into.
