If you were a classy Hollywood mobster, what would you carry?

[Great Scot]

Big Webley

From Millers Crossing!

 

[Bobson]

Stainless 75B.

 

[MIL-DOT]

It may seem a bit pedestrian,,,
But I think I would have my 4" S&W Model 12 in a shoulder holster.

No, that's a great suggestion, I was thinking along the same lines: a nice, glossy, old-school wheel gun. And of what I actually have (as per the OP's criteria), one just like this is about as good as I'm going to come up with, as well. (again, that's if we're keeping in-line with the OP's criteria of what a "classy,Hollywood mobster" would carry.)


P.S. Kudos to the OP for the interesting thread topic.

 

[Tallball]

Chromed 1911 with gorgeous exotic hardwood grips.

 

[huntsman]

Nickel .380acp. If it has to be period correct Colt 1908, new Beretta 85fs.

 

[MDI_Weapon]

Actually from my collection?

Brushed hard chrome Colt Commander .45. The hammer, sear, hammer pin, sear pin and grip screws are gold but only because they were coated with gold titanium nitride around 1995. TiN on those parts has been extremely durable.

Bad pic but...

 

[ACP]

a pair of Colt commercial 1911s

 

[Panzerschwein]

Probably a MAC-10 assault weapon in .45 ACP.

Kind of like a modern Chicago typewriter!!

 

[Zendude]

30-06 bar

 

[Reloadron]

Three .30 caliber. Browning Automatic Rifles
One 20 gauge “sawed-off” shotgun
One 10 gauge “sawed-off” shotgun
One .32 caliber Colt automatic pistol
One .380 caliber Colt automatic pistol
One Colt .45 caliber “Double Action” revolver
Seven M1911 .45 caliber automatic pistols
One-hundred rounds on machine gun clips
Three-thousands rounds of ammunition

When Bonnie and Clyde were killed on May 23, 1934 by Texas and Louisiana police officers, their Ford V8 was filled with the above. Not bad for taking on a picnic. I tend to believe Bonnie Parker also was carrying her 38 Special revolver. Bonnie & Clyde were known to practice regularly with their guns and they also maintained them.

Hollywood Mobster? Naw, I would prefer to be a real NY or Chicago mobster.

[Iggy]

1916 vintage .45 belly gun.

For takin' care of business.



Colt .380ACP Model 1908

For formal family occasions.

 

[C.R.]

way back when,I saw a 1911 made by Auto Ordenance that was nickel plated,If I was a mob type I would be packing one of those,and one of those custom violen cases with a thomson too

 

[250 Savage]

Custom hard chromed MP 5 with folding walnut stock, aaa fancy walnut on fore end and pistol grip. Skip the sights, but rail w/ holographic. And a sound suppressor.

 

[jeepnik]

Geesh none of you has the sense of style that Connery has.

Webley Fosbery for the win.

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Nickel .380acp. If it has to be period correct Colt 1908, new Beretta 85fs.

Nope! It does not have to be period correct. I'm talking old school, modern day, Mafia, Russian mob, Irish mob, what ever. All that's required is class, and no gang banger crap. The particular era and syndicate affiliation is unimportant. Anachronistic choices like my own is perfectly acceptable. I'm picturing 20's and 30's style dress, but with a modern gun, so my choice doesn't exactly fit any consistent idea.

So if you were a "respected criminal" which of the classy guns that you own would you carry concealed under your classy threads for defense?

I'm surprised I haven't seen a High Power yet.

 

[Zaydok Allen]

That's an S&W Model 649 that someone modified with a Model 60 3 inch barrel and unfluted cylinder.

LOVE that gun man. I drool every time I see that picture. If you ever want to part with it, pm me. Great choice.

 

[gbran]

Dain Bramage

Now that slicked up 649 looks just like what a mobster would carry.

 

[R.W.Dale]

One of these is just begging to be a bad guy gun

 

[adcoch1]

Don't have it anymore, but the s&w model 29 classic 44mag. Full under barrel rib, non fluted cylinder, and beautiful s&w bluing. Put some rosewood grips on it in a patent leather shoulder rig with a s&w snub by 38 on the other side. Gotta love those wheel guns...

Old Fuff is right. I have been unfortunate enough to know, in a passing way, a couple of real "bosses" - small time, but "bosses" nonetheless. The last thing they wanted was to be caught carrying a gun.

They never harmed anyone, and I doubt they ever even gave direct orders to do so. They just knew that someone who wanted to be nice might do them a little favor.

P.S. I can't really think of any criminals less "classy" than Bonnie and Clyde, a pair of two-bit punks.

[Jim K]

In my post above, I referred to the original Bonnie and Clyde. Their modern counterparts support gun bans, but are not any more classy.

Don't confuse Hollywood with reality Jim.

 

[Traffer]

Last man standing

If you have not seen "The Last Man Standing" you need to. You need to very badly. Real men carry a pair of 1911's

 

[Bo]

A little too big for carrying but, purty just the same.
