The 6.5-inch Model 29 is the definitive "Dirty Harry" configuration. Clint Eastwood carried this barrel length in the 1971 film, and S&W received years-long back orders after the movie's release. The 6.5-inch barrel extracts maximum velocity from the .44 Magnum and remains the standard benchmark configuration for the model.
