Why does 99 have a red pistol?
So it would color-co-ordinate with her outfits, while looking dainty and feminine.
Duh.
Didn’t 99 actually say once that she was carrying a red gun because it matched her red shoes?
I thought it was because it matched her bag.
while we are here, is it just me or did Barbara Feldon have (particularly in the first season) one of the sexiest voices ever on a TV character. I swear, listening to her speak is like having Tia Maria poured in your ear.

I would expect her to have a different gun for each outfit.

I was crazy about her, but I was thirteen.

Then you will love this.
The old “Red Gun in the Purse” trick.
I fall for it every time.
Baddup baddow … POW!
Eh.
Missed it by that much.
I find that hard to believe.
I *asked * you not to tell me that.
“What?” <---- CONE OF SILENCE —> “What?”

That’s redundant, her bag has to match her shoes, silly.
I actually asked this of the guy who runs the ‘official Get Smart page’. Here is part of the exchange:
Carl Birkmeyer: It’s red because it’s more ladylike.
Me: That was… one of my assumptions. Was this ever stated in the show, or
by cast or crew?
Carl Birkmeyer: It wasn’t stated that way in the show. I don’t know if it was ever discussed in print or not, but that came up in one of my conversations with Leonard
Stern.

Oh, Hell, yes. Even when I was eight, she was the reason I watched the show.

She was *really * glad to see someone.
