Since the beginning, Fleming took great care in describing every detail of James Bond, and 007 greatly reflected his own image. However many people find that his choice of firearm, the 418 Beretta, was a poor one.

I carry a Beretta Jetfire .25 in a wallet holster. Unlike my .45, it is always there & it has never, ever jammed.
With a round in the tip-up barrel, that’s nine ready to go. Cock & fire.
BTW, is it true that in a pistol made in both .25 ACP & .22lr caliber, that the .25 is more reliable because it is rimless, vs. the .22? Real question.
How would a modern-day Brit know what a handgun looks like, especially some specific model?
The Bond novels were written in the 1950-60s, 20 years before Glock's time.
Accuracy no longer matters in America. Bond ACTUALLY should get a plasma rifle in the 40 watt range, but I'll settle for him having a Glock.
True nuff. In that case, can it at least be the porcelain Glock 7 that doesn't show up on airport X-ray machines and costs more than you make in a month?
IIRC, the fan recommending the change was the aforementioned Geoffrey Boothroyd. His 1970 work “The Handgun”, a comprehensive history of the development of pistols & revolvers, remains a classic.
Yes. That was it.
Very interesting....
