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

Classy gangster? Only one choice for me:

Oh you had to go there, If you're gonna pack a wheel gun you need a backup.

 

[Mr Woody]

For the shoulder holster I would pick a Mauser 712 for personal carry. Maybe a Colt woodsman with a silencer for those special jobs the boss wants done. And of course the Thompson would be kept in the trunk for when life take a down turn and things look dark.

 

[Dain Bramage]

The only possible thing I could say against that Clark modified Colt, is the same thing I'd say about the Model 649 I posted: the finish is too gorgeous to carry.

Picturing Bullet Tooth Tony in Snatch pulling out the "Desert Eagle Point-Five-Oh" and placing it on the table.

 

[DrBob305]

Always thought the S&W 686 Plus with shiny cocobolo grips looks mean and classy.

 

[BearBrimstone]

I would have to go big. Smith & Wesson 500 Magnum with a comically large barrel big.

 

[KCJ]

Can't believe no one has listed a gold plated Desert Eagle with pearl grips in 44 mag! After all, it's Hollywood.

 

[Dan-O]

Matching nickel plated 1911's.

 

[TomJ]

A snub nose 686 along with an ice pick and piano wire.

 

[Winkman822]

I'd go for a 1911 with a nice blued finish like Turnbull's Nitre Blue and some nice checkered cocobolo grips, or perhaps an HK P7M9, blued with wood grips.

Mila Kunis.

...and a tame lawyer.

[Ranger Roberts]

Two stainless 1911's in shoulder holsters. It would only make sense since my Tommy Gun would fire 45 acp as well!

 

[627PCFan]

Classy gangsters have hoes

 

[Delmar]

Ultimate bright stainless 38 Super Auto, or maybe nickel plated

 

[JC111]

S&W Model 19 w/2.5"bl and bobbed hammer - belt carry IWB
S&W Model 49 Bodyguard - ankle carry

The question was

Of your guns, what would you carry if you were a classy Hollywood style gangster? Would it be a different gun depending on your role in the "family"?

not what fanciful non-owned gun (though some of the answers among that group were VERY entertaining..MikeSA, do you actually own a K9orth? I thought of that, but don't own one).

Jeff Goldblum's character carried a target 22 rimfite in "Ten Speed and Brownshoe". He had no holster; if I recall correctly, he carried it in either a paper sack or a folded newspaper.

I have a 1930's era Colt 22 that belonged to my Uncle. That would do for quiet wetwork. For real class, a S&W Model 41, but I don't own one of those, nor an Olympics grade target pistol.

For combat-style duty, I have a pair of Coonan Model Bs that would do well in matching double-harness shoulder holsters. Or, for quantity firepower, the Calico

For heavy-duty stopping power (cars and armor), Super Redhawks in 454 Casull and 480 Ruger with steel-core ammo. My shooting buddy has a S&W 500, so I might borrow his.

Of course, for "drop" guns, I have a couple of Brigadiers (Egyptian manufactured Beretta 51) I could use.

I may not qualify as a classy mobster, but my arms would be at least partway there.

Now, do you want to talk long guns? (no, my selection is quite limited there.)

I would have to carry this:



And of course one is never enough so this too:

 

[USAF_Vet]

I'd have to be the guy who carries an .88 Magnum. It shoots through schools.

In the 1964 movie, The Killers, Lee Marvin takes a 357 Mag revolver from his briefcase. Then proceeds to screw a silencer on the barrel. Talk about Hollywood, going Hollywood!

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Been some fine looking guns in this thread.

Yep. That's one serious soup can.
