Funny you should mention the DW 44...I got one of those way back when I was shooting handgun silh. (50/100/150/200m). It was the 6" vent/heavy bbl. I also bought a 10" bbl for it but found I liked the 6" better...still have them..but haven't shot it in about 15 years...shrps74

Nah, just dress comfortably if you want to shoot with me. Just make sure to bring something warm to wear. This is the north woods, after all.

Holy smokes, that guy can shoot. I'm happy just to get on paper at 100 yds...a gong would be great fun to ring.

This was another classic case of a movie creating an insane demand for a product.
I recall reading several years ago prior to to 'Dirty Harry' Smith & Wesson had only sold something like 2000 Mod 29s world wide.
After the movie demand swelled to over 200,000.
Well, another Mod 27 caught my eye today at a local gun show. I might be working a trade on it with the owner.

That is a great find, NCG.

I had the same model with the 4" barrel. Gave it to my daughter several years ago as she needed a home defense gun. Broke my heart to part with it, but her safety was more important.
