All I know is that I went and saw the new James Bond movie and it was awesome, but the point of this post is that I now want a friggin PPK or a look alike, just seems cool as hell... That is all, post responses

I did too.

They are.

Here's the Sig version:

BTW, what is the point of palm print recognition on a handgun? If you're an agent, the last thing you want to be worried about is whether or not your firearm is picking up your print and is unlocked mode.

It really doesn't matter if no one else can shoot your .380 does it? Pretty much anyone he'd run into is packing their own, larger caliber, firearm.

That being said, I'm sure that comes into play in the movie.

Of course it does. I don't think there's been a Bond movie yet where he was given a gadget he DIDN'T need for one particular situation to survive. With that kind of foresight, I want Q picking my lottery numbers...

Oh yeah, definitely want a PPK, and Albert Finney as the gamekeeper rocked.

If you have large hands...PPKs suck. The web of your hand wont appreciate it. The SIG 232 maybe a better option.

My look alike is a $169.99 Polish Radom P-64, love it.

I wear XXL gloves and had a PPK/S and loved it. Of course there was a little learning curve on how high to hold it , but really after the first couple of "bites" it wasn't an issue anymore. The thing that I liked most about it was how friggin accurate it was, like shooting a laser. Mine was one of the older Interarms versions

I was sort of disappointed he wasn't carrying the traditional 32acp PPK.

I thought it was a step back from the P99. He should have been carrying a Walther PPQ! Just my humble opinion.

Great movie by the way. I think it was one of if not the best one yet. Got a glimpse into his past.

I always thought I wanted one because I grew up with Bond but a friend in TX bought one and after shooting it I was glad I never spent the $. as I recall in one of the bond books he said he actually preferred the Beretta .32 "skeleton" slide model over the Walther.

Am I dreaming or didn't he get his Beretta taken away and forced to use the Walther?

Now I gotta see this movie. I was done with Bond after the last one. Completely ruined the awesomeness that was Casino Royale.

I looked up the Bond handguns and he used the Beretta 418 with the "skeleton grip" (grip panels removed), 32 acp, in the first 5 novels; Casino Royale, Live and Let Die, Moonraker, Diamonds are forever and From Russia With Love. Shocking!

Correct - that happened in Dr. No, 1958.

I was even going to say "Dr. No" but I wasn't 100% sure.

What Beretta?
I thought he used a Walther P99 in the previous movies.

 

[Titanium_Frost]

.32acp in a small pistol is a hoot to shoot. I love my 1903 Colt and my wife loves her Kel Tec P32.

I don't know what the movies had him doing but it is clear in the novels, Beretta 418.

Sorry, I mixed old with new in my post. The Beretta for Walther switch happened in the first actual Sean Connery Bond movie Dr No.

I was *****ing about the sequel to Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, sucking really bad.

Also if you believe Wikipedia it looks like the Beretta 418 is in 25 acp not 32.

It's on the Internet and they can't put anything on there that's not true.
