To some this is the ''Dirty Harry'' handgun and certainly back when the movie came out Smith and Wesson had a great surge in the gun's popularity. It is interesting to note that many were sold but hardly shot, as not everyone liked the recoil and so, many hit the used market in fine shape. It represents yet another fine example of the Smith ''N'' frame series.
It had been hoped to find a ''dash 2'' which would have had the old pinned and recessed characteristics (a purist's interest) ........ but this ''dash 3'' however is so tight and in such good shape it made temptation too much - found when looking at the tables at the Tulsa Gun Show.
