Handguns

Inspector "Dirty Harry" Callahan (Clint Eastwood) continues to carry the Smith & Wesson Model 29 as his sidearm in the film.

Smith & Wesson Model 29 - .44 Magnum. This is Clint Eastwood's actual screen used Model 29 in the movie The Dead Pool. It has all the scuffs from the scene on the docks when it was dropped and kicked.

Inspector Callahan (Clint Eastwood) kills the last of mobster Lou Janero's (Anthony Charnota) thugs with his Smith & Wesson Model 29.

Callahan checks to make sure his Smith & Wesson Model 29 was indeed empty by pulling the trigger. This isn't a recommended method though, since if it isn't empty, a nasty surprise awaits. Another note is that, in a continuity error reminiscent of the original film, Callahan pulls the trigger in double-action, despite the gun previously being cocked to single-action state by Rook.
