I just watched it again and think I might have found another problem. If you pull the hammer back on a revolver, the cylinder rotates as it puts the shell in position to fire, right? So why does it rotate again when Harry pulls the trigger? I don't know much about handguns, but that doesn't seem right.

At that time, the .454 Casull was only offered in a single action handgun.
That's a nasty "no-no" for LEO's. Even back then.
Plus, the S&W M29 was the latest "thing".
After "Dirty Harry" came out, B&B Sporting Goods, two doors down from the Texas Theater, couldn't keep M29's in stock! They showed up about six months later at the local pawn shop due to recoil! LOL!
The first one I ever laid eyes on was $369.95, NIB!
