    Actually you are looking for a design by manufacturer not by "magnum" or
anything like that. Smith&Wesson Model 29 or the later 629 would satisfy the
Dirty Harry image.

    There are two conspicuous problems, the ratio of barrel diameter to length
and the lack of a shroud around the extractor rod beneath the barrel. In the
first problem with worst case is going to be a .44/.45 (inch) hole and a 2 inch
barrel.

    http://data.smith-wesson.com/sport/results_output.cfm is a place to start.
Example attacked. As you can see you don't hve the easiest task.

    OTOH the gun in the movie of that title was created for the movie and was
not a revovler. If you can find a picture of that it will be much easier to
model.
