I believe it was a Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum model 29 six-shot revolver with a 6.5-inch barrel.

Dirty Harry is now outgunned: Smith & Wesson has introduced its biggest handgun ever, a .50-caliber Magnum.
The five-shot revolver with an 8 1/2-inch barrel weighs about 4 1/2 pounds -- roughly a pound more than the black .44-caliber Magnum wielded by Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry movies. It fires a new .50-caliber cartridge that the company said produces nearly three times the muzzle energy of the .44 -- or enough stopping power to bring down a charging bear.

In the D./H. mvs.C. Estwd.gun was suppose to be a Sm./Wesson revolver Model 29,-44 calibure Magnum 357 6/1/2 ins.Barrell, but S./Wsn. didn't have any in stock so he used a S,/Wsn. model 57 .41 Magnum & called it 44 Magnum, the most powerfull gun around.
In D./Harry-Magnum Force he got to use the actual S./Wsn. Model 29 revolver in the opening shot of the movie & then back to the one used in prev. movie. It was a 6 shooter as most Magnum revolvers of the era were.
Great MOVIES eh?
