Im not as good as I thought !!!!!!!!!!!

Dirty Harry's Magnum was a .41 mag in the first movie. Guess the .44s were too hard too find. The 12 guage would work better, but better yet I agree with avoidance (less painful)
 
Sounds like the kind of guy that's found around these parts with two holes in the back of his head... and everyone agrees it was suicide.

LOL!:D

Reminds me of the story my father-in-law told me after I told him about this guy. The sherriff in the small town in OK where he grew up, told him about a guy who used to beat up women he dated and other people, along with stealing etc... This went on for years, until one day they found him face down in a ditch. The police and other authorites questioned everybody in town. Seems nobody knew anything....:D
 
A good way to stop an attacker is an arc hand to the throat hard! I have used it befor and they can't breath so you have time to just walk away unless he has friends!
 
Maui, that guy needs to be setup, lured and ambushed. Wouldn't try it in his protected arena (the bar). Instead you determine where it will take place. Enlist the help of two others (at least one of which must be female). Make it clean, quiet and fast. Never let him see it coming. I hate belligerent bullies. Swear I'd help you if I was there.

Yep! I agree. and if I wasn't scared sh*tless of prison and leaving my family without a father I'd take care of him personally. Situations like this make you wish you had friends like Tony Soprano;) I appreciate the offer of help, good to know there are guys out there who've got my back:)

You aren't alone Bill. No offense taken here.
 
Same thing happened to some guy in small MO town, too, Rob. The incident made some news program like 20-20. The bad guys don't always win.
 
Twenty years ago the district judge covered three counties, and when he had to stay overnight to do a trial, he was down at Joe's Tavern,( really ) which is the biggest bar in town, just about every night. So was the town bully, drinking, drugging, and fighting.

And twenty years ago, the judge and bully had a last come to Jesus meeting in the courtroom. The judge is dead and gone, but the bully, still a quintessential rectum, hasn't had a drink in twenty years. Probably still scared the judge would come out of his grave to put him in prison for the rest of his life like he promised to do.

He was over 50 years old when faced reality that most people in town would be glad to hear that he would die in prison.

He never learned much more, but the realization he was on thin ice with a bright sun coming up was indelible.

Incredibly, sometimes they do learn after all.

He also never picked on me again after I showed a biker who knew him my Thompson.
 
Thanks Uncle Bill and Rusty:)

It IS nice to hear that they sometimes get what they deserve, or at least the dose of sense they should have had in the first place.
 
I don't understand where these guys get off. I'm only 18, but spent the first 14 years trying like hell to control my spastic temper. Now that I've got it, I don't understand where people get off beating the pulp out of others, for fun. When I want to fight, I spar, or play lacrosse, but control myself, and fuel the aggression into focus. Hell, even when I get caught in some fun submission hold (which happens to me 99 percent of the time), I still have released a lot of aggression, and feel good again. Obviously for these guys it goes deeper. If the bullies dont learn give the victims some weapons and a locked room.

I haven't ever handled the actual gun, but that's not what the dialogue says:
I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?

On the other hand, it is possible.
 
Sometimes these guys are fun to watch.

About 20 years ago I was headed to work in downtown Manhattan. It was a miserably cold winter day, and the NYC subway was packed like a sardine can. So we pull out of the station and a couple of guys at the end of the car start mouthing off, then they get up and start harassing some of the passengers.

Everyone is pretty cool, running into lunatics on the subway was a normal part of everybody's daily commute. But, then these guys started picking on a girl, grab her hat tossed across the car, and that cause a short guy in a blue ski jacket who happened to be seated across from them to ask them in a nice calm way to sit down and behaive. So they just step over and bother the short guy.

Wouldn't you know it, before anyone else can say anything the little guy peals off his bulky jacket and seems to get bulkier. The guy was built like Franco Colombo. For the next four minutes, since we are all locked in the subway car while we are in between stations, everyone gets to play volleyball with the two punks. Outside of a cartoon I never seen anyone run into a wall, cieling, or floor as much, or as hard, as these two did. They were flying every which way.

As soon as we pulled into the station the two just headed out the door faster than I have ever seen anyone craw before. Whatever happened to them, we never saw them again.
 
At the time the movie came out there were credible reports the S&W factory was unable to ship a 29 in time for use in the movie and shipped Hollywood a 41 instead. Later, before the film's premiere but after it was in the can, a 44 was procured and used to make the brief introductory sequence with only the close-up of the gun alone.

By the time subsequent movies were made in the series a 6 1/2" model 29 ( 44 mag ) had been obtained.

Today, I find myself remembering the 32 revolver from Death Wish fondly. Anybody remember just what model it was? J frame, 6 shot 32 S&W Long, round or square butt?, 2 or 3" bbl? Not a Regulation Police, I don't think. Keep meaning to buy a videotape of Death Wish for my collection.
