Smith & Wesson 1981 Model 29-2, 6” .44 Magnum with a pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. This revolver has been immortalized by Clint Eastwood’s 1971 turn as Harry Callahan, and I’m sure you can hear some of his most famous quotes ringing in your head.
Paired here with a Buck Knives 110 Slim Heritage Elite dressed in MagnaCut steel, and complemented by Saddleback Leather’s hand-burnished pistol wrap, we have an ensemble that speaks to a very purposeful tradition for a lot of hunters and gun owners – and it’s perfect for TFB’s Photo Of The Day series.
