The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Gun & Series

[Sinatra877]

Since I briefly mentioned it in another thread I thought I'd share this.

On my last gig, I didn't have much as far as visual entertainment unless you count the shephards fucking the local sheep or something. I was limited to a few DVD's and a laptop. Other than the porn sites, I found something that I never got to see when I was a kid but it facinated me since I'm an old 60's era Spy Buff. "I'd love to see a female spy in the buff." Seriously though...

During the Sean Connery 007 era, there were a plethura of television shows that had spys' in the main character. The ones I've seen were the most popular ones like:

"Get Smart", "I Spy", "The Avengers", "The Prisoner" and "Mod Squad". Even though Mod Squad was more of a police kickoff. Can anyone else name a few others that I missed? Warner Brothers still haven't released the US DVD's yet. The British format DVD's are already available. It was a engrossing story. Especially how it ends with the "We Gratefully Thank UNCLE for the...". It really made some heads turn. I wished I'd seen those as a kid rather than Star Trek. No wonder I'm all fucked up.

Anyway, I never got to see The Man From U.N.C.L.E. I began watching the episodes on aol.com they had a lot of digitally reformatted episodes from that show and I really got into it.

I loved that Walther P-38 that converted to that UNCLE pimp gun. I wanted one and there is a fellow that makes them. Even though the Walther P38 is a real gun, he sells the blank guns to avoid the manufactuers' licensing and any problems later on. I still want one. Here's a link to the gun itself;

You have to admit, for the 1960's, it was a bad little motherfucker. If you aren't familiar with The Man From UNCLE or Stephanie Powers in her badass days as The Girl From UNCLE, I'd go too www.aolvideos.com I know the original color Pilot for the show was never shown on TV. You can also see some of the original episodes on this link.

I have watched the show myself quite a bit and can still find episodes playing on the BBC channel some times as well as TV Land. Cool show for sure. I also liked the Avengers as well. Have always liked British serials myself, especially the comedy, sci-fi, and spy ones.
Having an U.N.C.L.E. gun would be cool. But I'm really only buying guns I can shoot right now. Though if the money were to fall my way some day I may look into getting one of these.

Somewhere out there in the internet, there was a guy that made the actual shooting versions too. His version made the actual firing one with a 16" fixed barrel. Although it's really a novelty, I'd love to get one eventually. I wouldn't even mind getting a short barrel firearm license. I really don't know what the hell to do with it but it would really be neat as the Monkey Boy would say.

They were cool shows to watch growing up. There was also one with Anne Francis called Honey West if I recall correctly but she was a PI. She was also the young hottie with long legs in the Forbidden Planet
