The snubby Model 19 is one of the coolest-looking guns ever.
Watch The River Wild (with Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon) and you will get to see a snubby 66. In a climactic scene she actually opens the cylinder and properly indexes it so anunfired round will rotate under the hammer when the trigger is pulled for the next shot. (Actually that was probably a stunt double, since in the shot you only see her hands, but it was still correct. )
It's a great looking revolver. I'm sure that it was meant to show that Bruce Willis character was old school. A tough PI. No stinking auto for him.
It actually worked as well since he was supposed to have been a former Secret Service agent in the seventies. They carried the Model 19 snubbie. Use what you know.
