Either a 2 inch Chief's Special or a full sized 1911A1 (Blued of course).

I'd also call every woman I encountered "Doll" or "kid".

Depends on the time period. But I think either of these would qualify as distinctive. Something that draws the eye to one specific character when there's a scene of everyone pulling guns on each other.

It's really jarring in modern Bond films. "Glock, glock, beretta, glock... Hey... What loser brought that to a gunfight?"

Thompson like my hero, the Silver Shroud.

I would carry pair of gold plated Borchardt C93s with Bacote grips in zebra skin drop leg holsters. Subtle and unassuming.

1911 unless I was very rich and successful. Then it would be a Webley Fosbery semi-automatic revolver.

If we’re speaking fictional, I’m going Ruger Alaskan .454 Casull. Prison wallet carry of course.

Welrod and either a Mauser Broomhandle M1932 or a Vz61 in 9mm.

I always wondered which came first, the Webley-Fosbery, or the click pen.

Obviously this is the only answer.

Poll fail because no BHP.

I'm almost a real detective, and I carry an issued G17 gen5, but when I think "fictional detective" I think Los Angeles 1949...
in which case, I'd carry an FN P35 that I captured from a German Fallschirmjager during the war.

I'd have also kept other military goodies for the big fight scene near the end.

627 snubby. 8 times.
