if they decided to make a remake of the Dirty Harry movie today, who could play the part of Harry Callahan?

they made several new James Bond movies, but no more Dirty Harry?

I can't see a replacement. Although, I thought Jeff Bridges did a pretty good job in the remake of True Grit and I am hoping a remake of Rooster Cogburn is in the works. So maybe its possible.

Nobody could replace Harry but my vote would be John Travolta based on his role in Pulp Fiction.
James Brolin would also be a good choice.
As to gun nothing but a 50AE

More importantly (and more in line with this forum), what kind of pistol is he going to carry? Desert Eagle in .50 AE or S&W .500?

Nope. Even with the "what kind pistol?" question, casting hypothetical movies isn't within the purview of TFL.
