This one's probably the best, The Man with No Name from Andrea in 54mm:

It's available at Military Miniatures Warehouse.

I've got one in my stash! Great looking kit! Squadron also had 'em--that's where I got mine! They also have a "Dirty Harry" figure I believe, although for copyright/trademark reasons it's called something "generic", as with many of their figures; you have to search a little for it....

The Dirty Harry kit is sold as "Magnum .44" and the likeness to Clint is only approximate from some angles. I did one as a commission for a friend and can't get around to finishing my own.

All of these are 54mm from Andrea.

On a side note,. the original .44 prop is on display at the Smith & Wesson museum here in Springfield MA.

Approximately 1/32.

These are generally used for individual display as you see in the pictures. Some may be modified to greater or lesser degrees in vignettes and dioramas. This is one of the standard figure sizes, perhaps the most common, for figure painters and sculptors.

Agreed.  I was treated by a friend to 30 or so rounds at the range with his Taurus .44.  I think if you respect it without fearing it, you can hit the paper without injury to yourself very consistantly.  I love the "empty Coke bottle" sound it makes.

I love where he is in the ER in the next scene getting the shotgun pellets taken out of his leg. The doctor gets ready to cut the pant leg and Harry tells him no, he'll take them off so the pants aren't ruined...As if the pellet holes and blood haven't ruined them enough!!!

From one of the angles it looks a bit like the guy that played Wolverine...Hugh Jackman??

In a time long ago I was a range rat and saw all kinds of .44 revolvers fired with every type of load. I've seen small liquor store owners knocked over backwards, and come up laughing. I've seen CHP speed load six into the target. But they carried the .357.

Factors include porting of course, the other usual physics and the competence of the shooter.

There's nothing to suggest Clint knew his stuff, of course Inspector Callahan did. But its all fantasy. Harry is legend to me and to my buds from the shooting fraternity in the City in the 60's- 70's.

"My, that's a big one".

Other good model subjects from our fair City include "Bullitt";

Pistol: 2 1/2 inch barrel Colt Diamondback 

Car: Mustang GT-390

Figure: Jackie Bissett in his Brooks Bros. buttondown.
