I was watching a made-for-TV movie last night. It was a murder mystery/Sci-fi piece released for an Asian audience and the story was basically about a present day police detective who's father had died in an unsolved murder during the early 70s. Anyhow....aforesaid present day cop manages to discover a portal into the past which would allow him to travel to a point 3 months before his father's murder. Needless to say, he takes the trip and attempts to avert his dad's killing.
My question for this thread is if any one of you had to spend a few months back in the early 70s, what would you carry as a sidearm? Please consider the logistics requirements (ammo, spare parts if things break) and the need to blend in (glocks and XDs would look rather strange).
On a realistic note, one of my old elementary school classmates is now a diplomat and he remarked to me once that when he was temporarily posted to Nepal some years ago, locals who could get hold of handguns only managed to obtain older sidearms styles like copies of webley revolvers in .38S&W and crude copies of 1950s-1960s semi-autos in .32 ACP and 9mm short.
