I gotta ask everybody's opinion about how much Dirty Harry helped Smith & Wesson's sales, and even general revolver sales just from looking so cool in the movies. It was shortly after watching "Magnum Force" that I started taking a serious look at a revolver for my first personal firearm. I had done research on plenty of automatics, but never really took a good look at the wheelguns. After going over the pros and cons, I eventually ended up with a .357 revolver. I know that I made that decision from perfectly rational reasons and I could not be happier with my purchase, but I can't help thinking about how much the movie icon motivated me to look in that direction. Anybody else think those movies might have made a difference in your choices?

p.s. I didn't get a .44mag, but I did end up with a S&W.
