About Real S W Model 29 The S W Model 29 is a classic, large-frame revolver, most famous for being chambered for the powerful .44 Magnum cartridge. It is a six-shot, double-action revolver, meaning it can be fired either by a long trigger pull that cocks and releases the hammer or by manually cocking the hammer first for a lighter trigger pull. Introduced in 1955, it was hailed as the world's most powerful production handgun at the time. The revolver was developed from the work of ballistic pioneer Elmer Keith, who pushed for a more powerful handgun cartridge, leading to the creation of the .44 Magnum. Smith Wesson built its robust "N-frame" to handle the new round. While it was always respected by handgun hunters and enthusiasts, its fame reached iconic status when Clint Eastwood wielded it as Inspector "Dirty Harry" Callahan in the 1971 film, creating a massive surge in public demand. The Model 29 has been produced with a variety of barrel lengths, from 3 inches to over 10 inches, and typically features a highly polished blued or nickel-plated finish with adjustable target sights. It can also fire the milder .44 Special cartridge. A significant variant, the Model 629, is the stainless-steel version. While standard production has paused at times, Smith Wesson continues to offer the Model 29 through its Classic Series, preserving this legendary firearm's legacy.
