The following guns were used in the film Sudden Impact:

Sudden Impact (1983)

Smith & Wesson Model 29

"Dirty" Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) carries his Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum as his sidearm in the film, until it is kicked into a curb drain by Mick (Paul Drake). He then uses his AMC Auto Mag Pistol in .44 AMP as a replacement.

Smith & Wesson Model 29 - .44 Magnum.

Callahan holds his Smith & Wesson Model 29 on a robber in the diner as he holds a woman hostage.

"Go ahead, make my day."

Callahan dispatches the mob assassins with his Model 29 after hidding in a trash can.

"I guess I should read you your rights."

AMC Auto Mag 280

After being attacked by the group of assassins in the mob, Insp. Callahan (Clint Eastwood) is inspired to take out his old pistol, an AMC Auto Mag 280 chambered in .44 AMP. When his Smith & Wesson Model 29 is kicked into a curb drain by Mick (Paul Drake), he replaces it with his Auto Mag for the remainder of the film. The production crew had a very difficult time aquiring this gun to the point where they had to contact the original designer, who had enough parts in his basement to build two guns for the film. The first was left live firing so Clint Eastwood could shoot it and accurately depict recoil while the second was converted to fire blanks for the film. The gun's serial numbers were "Clint1" and "Clint2".

AMC Auto Mag 180 - .44 AMP.

Callahan takes his AMC Auto Mag 280 out of its case. Note how the magazines are loaded with six rounds instead of the full eight. This may be because he doesn't want to wear out the springs on the magazines, so he doesn't store them fully loaded.

Callahan loads a magazine into his AMC Auto Mag.

Never sneak up on a man with a loaded gun, especially if he's Clint Eastwood.

"Well, this is the .44 Magnum Auto Mag and it holds a 300 grain cartridge. And if properly used, it can remove the fingerprints."

Not to harp on Eastwood, but he gets a pretty good group for someone not using the sights.

Colt Detective Special

Jennifer Spencer (Sondra Locke) uses a nickel plated Colt Detective Special as her weapon of choice to get revenge on the people that raped her and her sister long ago. Later in the film we see Mick (Paul Drake) use her gun to kill Police Chief Jannings (Pat Hingle).
