gun company that mainly makes double action combat revolvers, but still make semi-automatic handguns. famous for the model 629 a stainless model of the 29, seen in the movie "dirty harry" chambered in the infamous .44 magnum round. they also make the 686 wich is a .357 magnum.
my smith & wesson 629 is better than your glock 17 because it's just as quick to reload with speedloaders, and it's a much more powerful caliber.

A double action, stainless steel revolver chambered in .44 Magnum. It replaced the ever-famous Model 29 blue steel revolver. Availible in 3,'' 4,'' 6,'' or 8 3/8'' barrel lengths.
The cop looked the woefully inadequete .38 Special strapped to his hip, shook his head, went to his car, and pulled a 629 from the glove compartment.
