Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 29
San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) continues to carry as his sidearm his ".44 Magnum", the Smith & Wesson Model 29 with an 6 1/2" barrel. He comments in the film to his partner Insp. Kate Moore (Tyne Daly) that he particularly favors this gun due to penetration power, since he claims he's seen a .38 ricochet off a car windshield.
Colt Diamondback
The 2" barrel version of the Colt Diamondback is carried by Callahan's partner, Inspector Kate Moore (Tyne Daly), who keeps it in her purse. This revolver is also carried by many members of the San Francisco Police Department, including Harry's Homicide Lieutenant, Al Bressler (Harry Guardino). The way to identify it is by comparing the trigger guards of the Python and the Diamondback.
Colt Trooper MK III
A uniformed SFPD Sergeant is seen aiming his Colt Trooper Mk III during the robbery at the beginning of the film. The Colt Trooper was indeed the sidearm of the SFPD in the 1970s.
