We could ask some real secret agents, but then they would have to kill us.............

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.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
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.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.

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