In Europe, especially 30-40 years ago, the .32 and .380ACP were considered adequate self defense cartridges. 9mm was the powerhouse. In terms of terminal ballistics, there isn't much difference between 9mm and .380 anyway, if ball isused. |

The Bond character was not a policemen, a soldier or an hit man. He was a spy. A small caliber gun always made sense to me. I would love to know what today's spies carry. Most of them probably don't carry 
Think about it, most spies are gathering intelligence via cover. So, they are pretending to be journalists, businessmen, fucking restaurant managers...whatever. If a journalist gets caught carrying in the wrong place, that could be a real problem, and if he's magically released from a police station by a phone call from the US State department...well, his cover is pretty much blown at that point
Speed Yep. Most intelligences officers are covered as State Department diplomats and protected by diplomatic immunity, and therefore have little need to carry. I suppose they'd grab the State Department's standard issue (Sig .357 IIRC) if some situation called for handguns. Those not covered by diplomatic immunity are also unlikely to carry due to the risk of getting caught. Uncle Sam doesn't want to spend millions of dollars training you only to have you spend four years in a Zambian prison for getting busted for illegally carrying. Obviously, the direct action teams in the CIA are probably armed similarly to Delta etc. |

It's small and easily concealable yet has a good number of decent size rounds for it's size. Also it doesn't give any clues to who he is. A German gun popular with lots of people and available on both sides of the Iron Curtain doesn't necessarily point to a British intel agent. I read an article on how a major metro police dept had purchased PPK's for their undercover cops for the same reasons. They wanted something that could be easily concealed and still be substantial enough to get the job done and most important didn't seem like a cop gun if it was discovered.

People keep saying Bond is a spy. I have yet to see a Bond film in which he does any actually spying. It's mainly racing sports cars and blowing stuff up, whilst telling everyone he meets his real name. Define "spy" in your mind. He surreptitiously "penetrates" organizations (and women, but I digress), to obtain information sought by his government, and does so quite frequently. He also goes far beyond that, but the former is central to what he does. I have always thought of Bond as more of a detective than a spy. He is always working to solve a mystery or a problem. Spys dont go around telling people who they are. |

If Bond needed to step up in caliber and gun and still needed a slim single stack the Sig P6 would be a good fit. Glocks are too.... below Bond for him to use. That would be like Bond hopping in to a Camero instead of a Jag, Aston Martin, BMW, or other such top notch sports car. |

As a spy, if you have to draw your weapon your cover has been blown before you drew it. Hopefully, using it quickly and quietly will get you through or at least aid your escape. Being that a spy is usually quite physically close to the person who 'made' him, a .32acp will suffice for the necessary 'wet work.' I would expect that 007 would carry something more substantial if he had to go from undercover to tactical operations. Bond carried the .380 version. Better but not by much. No, Bond carried the PPK in 7.65 (.32 ACP). Watch the video of Bond being issued his pistol someone posted earlier and they mention the caliber. Long Mountain Outfitters sold two of the prop guns used in the Sean Connery and Roger Moore bond movies and they have (or had, I haven't looked recently) pictures of them on their website. They were both WWII German PPK's in 7.65. In the new movie they mention his new pistol is coded to his palm print and that it is a PPK/S in "9mm short" (.380 ACP). As far as I know that's the first time he's carried a PPK/S instead of a PPK. I stand corrected, here I was pissed because my PPK is .32 and not .380 it was all I could afford at the time. Mine is a Manhurin Manufacture de Machines du Haut-Rhin from the late 50s. Sooo, mine is of the right caliber and right time period. It is worth it to pay close attention to detail. I am so ashamed. 
But also happy at the same time.

This thread is lame....makes me want to switch from a G26 to something like a PPK/S just to say I can do it. Prepare to be underwhelmed. |

Because if you are wearing a tailored suit, you need something small so it doesn't ruin the lines. Glock 19 The Glock 19 is the most retarded shaped brick of a handgun ever devised. Carry something slim like a Hi Power or 1911. Grip measurements: BHP width: 1.27" 1911 width: 1.27" Glock 17 width: 1.18" unable to find a 1911 that thick Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Math is for pussies.

The Glock's grip is the same width as a 1911 with standard grips (1.18"), and its slide is only 0.10" wider (0.90" Vs. 1.00") The 1911 and P-35 are rusty boat anchors compared to the compact Glock. so the frame of the 1911 is not that big. and I've never found a 19 or 17 that measures smaller at the handle than a 1911, or that has less than an oppressife slide width |

Keep drinkin' the kool-aid.
If Bond needed to step up in caliber and gun and still needed a slim single stack the Sig P6 would be a good fit. Glocks are too.... below Bond for him to use. That would be like Bond hopping in to a Camero instead of a Jag, Aston Martin, BMW, or other such top notch sports car. Or lowering himself to learn the spelling of Camaro |

I think some Israeli assassins used a Beretta Model 70 in .22
