Robbie C. Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Since everyone loves to speculate, and we haven't talked about hardware lately, what guns do you think could or should have appeared on Miami Vice? We all know Michael Mann has a 'thing' for the latest and greatest (which is why the Glock appeared on Vice, and maybe why the AutoMag had a cameo as well), but he didn't get everything. I know personally I wouldn't have minded seeing a Styer GB raise its head (granted it was first designed in the late 1960s, but it made a bit of a comeback in 1980 or so as the GB80 and has both a unique look and operating system). We see a number of Detonics pistols throughout the series, but I was always surprised something from Safari Arms never showed up. They're pretty striking pistols. I've got one made by the original company and one made by Olympic after they bought them out. I have to say the finish on both is really good, but the original MS Safari Arms (the top one) is superior in a number of ways. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_Cooper Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Did CZ 85 ever show up? Or even the classic 75? -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah...it is missing the CZ75. Given the number of Russians and such that wandered by, I was also surprised we never saw a Makarov or even a Tokarev. No AKs, and even though the Galil shows up more than once we never see an FN-FAL, which to me is a pretty sleek rifle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1911A1 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I don't remember a HK P7 being in the series. It was an interesting design with the squeeze cocker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_P7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as an aside, the top Safari Arms has a squeeze cocker conversion...the Double Ace system. It's an interesting piece of gear, though it does make the profile a bit wider than normal.
