I'm gonna have to go back and search through the books now. Nobody knows offhand what make and model Harry's guns were, do they? I know he packed a .357 Magnum up until Summer Knight, and afterwards used a .44 Magnum until Ghost Story. I always assumed they were Rugers (because that's what I own  ), but was it ever mentioned anywhere?
(Also, me being picky, I assumed that they were Single Action revolvers because of Harry's preference for Pre-WW2 mechanics, but I don't believe that they were ever actually specified as such.)
I quite like this painting as well.  |
I really don't know ruger from colt or smith & wesson, but I do agree with your assessment of his use of first a .357 Magnum and then a .44 Magnum, both being revolvers. And I don't think the artist depicted either one very well!
