The Question Every Fan Knows
“I know what you’re thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five?” Callahan asks it of a bank robber eyeing a shotgun, and the suspense of that empty-or-not cylinder is what makes the scene. This keyring carries the question on a once-fired .357 Magnum case.
Why a .357 and Not a .44?
Harry’s revolver in the film is a .44 Magnum. We make this design on the .357 Magnum – a shorter, slimmer revolver case that makes a lighter keyring. If you want the full .44, see our “Do you feel lucky, punk?” .44 Magnum keyring.
The .357 Magnum has its own history: Smith & Wesson and Winchester introduced it in the mid-1930s, and for twenty years it was the most powerful revolver round available.
How It Is Made
The case is cleaned, polished and fitted with a seated bullet, the design is cut into the brass by fibre laser, and a 25mm split ring is fitted.
