Garand Torino Photo of the day

[CINDERS]

What you dont see on his Rt hip is what made Clint the star he is "Make my day"or "Have I fired 5 or 6 shots feeling lucky Punk?"

As a postcript in Dirty Harry S&W could not supply an M-29 44 Mag what they used was a S&W .41 Magnum just some info in case you wondered why there are not to many muzzle shots of his handgun in that film......

My dad had an original model Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 mag as I was growing up. Now that was a gun that would wear out the web of your hand. He'd had some trigger work done and it wanted only a thought to launch its projectile. It went home with my brother when my dad died.

I owned a Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag stainless and loved shooting it

My dad called his "Sweet Lips," based upon a gnarled translation of Geoffrey Chaucer in The Miller's Tale from The Canterbury Tales. Beginning at line 3805:

"Spek, sweete bryd, I noot nat where thou art."
"Speak, sweet bird, I know not where thou art." ("sweet lips")
This Nicholas anon leet fle a fart
This Nicholas immediately let fly a fart
As greet as it had been a thonder-dent,
As great as if it had been a thunder-bolt,
That with the strook he was almoost yblent;
So that with the stroke he was almost blinded;

My dad. What a character.
