Somebody smarter or more culturally-literate than me is gonna have to get this one.

Blackwing1 for the win! Well, sorta. ;)

(Blackwing, Sonny Crockett carried a Bren Ten. It was such a big deal that legend has it they had a problem with gun nuts hiding in the bushes to snatch up magazines dropped during filming.)

I thought "Sonny" carried a stainless S&W Model 645 (4506? I never did figure out their numbering system[s]).

Guess I should have looked a little closer at the photo. Sorry for spoiling the contest, Mr. G.

At least I've got some connection to "Vice"; I carry my Springfield MicroCompact .45 in "Miami Classic" rig if I'm going to be in the truck a lot, or if my back starts to act up after carrying too long in the Don Hume IWB. Thanks to Don Johnson, it's a very comfy way to carry. The only problem is that I feel like a little bit of a Jackass (reference intended) when I carry that way.

It's still comfortable, though.

That link should be work safe. The rest of that site, not so much.

Happy Holidays.
