Secret Agent Handgun

No firearm, or anything that is obviously a weapon. Bare hands, a piece of piano wire, a piece of broken glass, a screwdriver, that sort of thing. The biggest advantage would be the element of surprise. We're not talking about legal defensive uses here. This is nasty, nasty stuff, and probably outside the scope of the The High Road.

Being a college military otaku gunman, I'd take a Makarov that goes underneath my Ukrainian BDU jacket. Before then, I'd take a wrench, screwdriver, or a folding knife before using a handgun, which would just be plain conspicious. I'd probably be terrible at the job.

Probably the most correct post on this whole thread.
 
Paris Theodore, the designer and creator of the ASP 9mm, also specialized in holsters for deep concealment for operatives. Just thought I'd throw this one in there.

Deep cover?

A ton of physical conditioning, hand to hand training, and a Zebra F-701 ballpoint pen. If I absolutely had to carry a handgun for some reason: untracable, concealable, and ubiquitous (in that order) would be more important than the particular make and model.

First, there is a difference between a spy and a saboteur. A spy gathers information; a saboteur tries to damage the enemy by direct action.

Well, I have known a few real spies (ours) and am still alive. I never knew one of the other side's, but I doubt it was much different. Forget the fiction nonsense; the most effective spies ever sent against the U.S. were Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and they did not even own a gun, much less carry one. (Can you imagine Julius filling out a NYC application to buy a pistol? Occupation: Soviet spy.)

Nor did any of the other spies, like the Walkers. Hanssen did, but that was because he was an FBI agent, not because he was a spy for Russia.

very simple glock 18 because any spy gun has to be full auto capable cause you cant always count on getting the uzi off of the dead guards body in time to save the world
 
to be honest and not in any way gun snobby i have my super spy guns. my gold and nickel tiger striped 1911, might ad night sights or jewel encrested sights. for my back up it would be my wifes gun, sig p238 in a rainbow titanium finish with a gold barrel and black pearl grips. if im that deep under cover i want to stand out and above the rest. i got the chance to shoot them for the first time since i finished them today. my wife gave me 5 minutes at the range just to check how the feed after being plated. i decided to make the best of it and put out as much as i could in the short time. dual wielding a set of ghetto blasters is freaking awesome. so much fun.
we live next door so i can walk across the street when ever. i think i will make an extra trip to do this again. the only way it could be better is if the off hand had a full size .45. i hate shooting pocket pistols but i love to carry them. the dont feel secure in my hands, i think the are too small for a good grip.
 
i see my self more as the, in it so deep that the good guys dont know im the good guy, the FBIs off the recored right hand man who doesnt exist so i can perty much finish the job how ever i want to, kind of deep. like the Italian guy (no name need mentioned) they hired to go down south to look for the folks kidknapped by the KKK. he got the job done his way and nobody said athing about it. that kind of deep, with a gun that makes its own statement.
 
What is your ONE pick for a sidearm if you were (theoretically of course) a deep cover operative? All agents welcome, from Tuxedo wearing, Stoli sipping Bond

Well.....James Bond carried/kept 3 hand guns originally: Beretta .25acp, .38 snub revolver, and some form of .45 in the Bentley's glove box. That said, James Bond didn't use them much at all.
IN fact, Bond didn't use ANY SIDEARM to become a double-O agent.
His first kill used; "a couple of Remington thirty-thirty's with telescopic sights and silencers"
His second kill; "I chose the bedroom of his flat and a knife. And, well, he just didn't die very quickly." .

I understand he's drinking Heineken now also.

True, but i think the point of the thread is to muse about an imaginary world where we could be a cocktail swilling ladykiller spy (and saboteur like I think Bond shouldve been classified as both) like the movies.

That plastic gun that wouldn't show up on scanners or x-rays.

Yeah and don't forget to equip it with the shoulder thing that goes up and load it with some of them fancy teflon coated steel core armor piercing bullets too.

RG .22 revolver - If anyone saw it, their thoughts would be "what a poor schmuck carrying that POS...". No way would they suspect I was a secrect agent man...

Yeah except for some RG revolvers work fine. Despite the fact that their reputation was ruined by their early revolvers, RG10 and RG14, their later guns aren't too bad.
 
Jeez what's with all these buzz kills saying spies don't carry guns? That's like saying carpenters don't carry hammers. LAST YEAR Raymond Davis was under diplomatic cover while SPYING as a SPY in Pakistan. It's said he foiled a kidnapping/murder with his GLOCK 19 by drilling a couple of ISI SPIES with GUNS of their own. Of course operatives use guns, more so now than ever before. It's world war 3 people, let's lighten up a little.

MY secret agent gun!

Yes a Webley IV .380. I got it at a pawns shop a few years ago. Shoots dead on with 148gr RNL ammo.
