Dirty Harry was set to star Frank Sinatra and he turned it down. John Wayne turned it down too. Millius rewrote it for Eastwood and in the original script Harry has a four inch model 29 with a nickeled finish.
This is according to Millius himself.
Millius then saw a 6.5 inch model 29 he wanted. His contract said he got a gun per movie so he had them use if for the Dirty Harry gun.
For what it is worth, Millius also tells a different version of the same story claiming he got the gun from Magnum Force.
However still has one of the 29s and the two swords from Conan too. And the engraved Peacemaker from Red Dawn and Jeremiah Johnson's Hawken rifle...
Robert Blakes gun in Electraglide in Blue was a two tone python. Billy Green Bush had a model 21 .44 special...
On Starsky and Hutch, Starsky usually had a model 39. Look closely and you can see its a single stack Smith.
Hutch carried a six inch python that magically turned into a four inch python and a two inch model 10 whenever the prop and continuity people were sleeping on the job....Sometimes in one episode...Sometimes during the same shootout...
