Whoever put that photo together had decent taste in firearms. It appears to be a 3.5" Model 27.
And I read "Vacation '58" long before it was a movie. The short story actually involved Walt Disney (the man) and a real handgun!
John Hughes made some of my favorite movies, like "Uncle Buck" and "Ferris Beuller's Day Off", but he wrote some really twisted stuff, too. I read all of it, way back when!
Got those DVDs too. Heck, I got 825 DVDs.

There's a lot that don't get shown on TV so I collect all I can find.
