M28 with silencer
I was watching a re-run of "Hart to Hart" and saw an odd looking gun. It was a 4" M28 that had had the barrel cut back under the barrel rib and it was fitted with a silencer. Of course, it was very quiet when it was fired.
We know better.

Back in the days when real guns were used in the movies to fire blanks most of the guns were owned and rented by one company. Their inventory was bought by a local gun store then sold at retail. For many of the odd ball guns the store owner had a list of the movies they'd been prominent in. One of those was a Colt U.S. 1917 with a fake silencer. It was different from the Model 28 you saw in that a bullet would have passed through the center of the tubular fake silencer.
In more recent decades a lot of the TV and movie guns are not real guns. The gun shot noise is added later.
I am not familiar with Hart To Hart. In what time period was it filmed?

Wasn't that the lovely Stephanie Powers? I recall watching it to see her. I saw a fellow in one old movie lay a long barreled (8" +) across his forearm for support. LOL! I remember thinking his shirt sleeve might have caught fire, and he surely would'a yelped in pain from the cylinder blowby. Good old Hollywood........

I do not rememebr that episode of Hart to Hart, but I did no watch it on a regular basis
Now I do admit to being influenced by the TV series Get Smart.
Everyone has suppressed snubbies on that series.
Of course my real suppressor is much longer than Maxwell Smart's TV suppressor. His is also much quieter than the real thing.

I loved Get Smart!
Yes it was snubby bonanza on there! Chief's Specials, Centennials, and Bodyguards....not to mention quite a few Colt Detectives. Silencers were commonly (and often humorously) employed.
When the show finally ended, Don Adams was given one of the S&Ws (a Centennial, I think) by the producers.

Early 1980s.

I always wanted to go out West and look for some of those Colt Single Action Armies that the bad guys threw away when their 20 plus cylinders went dry.

I still remember one episode of Get Smart with a silencer. His boss says, "Smart, kill the lights!" and Smart pulls out a snubbie with a silencer and puts out the lights with it.
I think of that scene every time I'm in a store with **** music and/or unintelligible announcements and wish I had that revolver to deal with the speakers in the ceiling

Not taking anything away from Stephanie Powers, but Barbara Feldon ("Get Smart" Agent 99) is the "real" reason I wanted recently acquired Baby Chiefs sn 99.

For some reason my "quote" function won't work. Anyway, the scene you remember was actually Hymie the robot. Smart tells Hymie to kill the lights. Being a robot, he does not understand the idiom and shoots the light. Can't find a clip of that online, but there are references to it in search engine results.
Dick Gautier played Hymie. He passed away last year at age 85.

In the original script of Get Smart she was agent 69 (serious). but I suppose the sensors objected.

That's easy, just shoot blanks in it! Even wax bullets produce very little recoil.
