My older brother had the Diamondback which was the .38 special version of the Python. Nice gun but it shot itself loose.
The Python was THE 357 mag back then. Its what David Soul used in the movie Magnum Force with Clint Eastwood and on the tv show Starsky and Hutch

Close. It was actually a 41 Magnum used in the movie.

Damnit I love that caliber. A whole whole lot. I really wish my blackhawk was a .41

So he wasn't actually shooting a .44 mag?

That wasn't a fair question. You knew damn good and well that nobody here knew that it was actually a .41

Yeah, but now yall can look like some gun gurus the next time some a-hole tries to pass you a 44mag as a "dirty Harry gun" at a gunshow somewhere.

This is from wiki

Dirty Harry helped popularize the Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver, chambered for the powerful .44 Magnum cartridge. The film initiated an increase in sales of the powerful handgun, which continues to be popular forty years after the film's release.[citation needed] The .44 Magnum ranked second in a 2008 20th Century Fox poll of the most popular film weapons, after only the lightsaber of Star Wars fame. The poll surveyed approximately two thousand film fans.[55] However, the only appearances of the Model 29 in the movie are in the close-ups: Any time Eastwood actually fired the revolver, he was shooting a Smith & Wesson Model 25 in .45 Colt[citation needed]. In 1971, .44 Magnum blanks were not available[citation needed]. However, as a result of decades of Hollywood Western movies there was an ample supply of 5-in-1 blank cartridges.[citation needed] As the Model 25 is built on the same Smith & Wesson N frame as the Model 29, it was simple to substitute it for the Model 29 in scenes where Eastwood had to shoot the revolver[citation needed].

Is this his last resort for medical bills?
Selling his gun collection makes me sad for him.
