I never liked the M9. I have relatively small hands and the diagonal-stack magazine made the grip too fat to fit comfortably in my hand. Quite unlike the M1911A1, which was comfortable and natural.

The Beretta he was admonished for carrying was a .25 cal ... and he replaced it with the more powerful (!) .380 cal Walther ... Actually, he replaced it with the .765 mm (.32 ACP) Walther. Why?? Who knows? It's no smaller or thinner than the more capable .380. Fleming apparently got some bad advice on such matters.

It was a Walther PPK chambered in 7.65mm. or 32ACP Cal. It is a little light in fire power but in professional hands quite effective.

You guys miss the point about Bond's .25 Beretta. He was such a lethal sob that he didn't even need a gun to deal death to the bad guys. He only carried the .25 because he was required to be armed. Carrying a joke gun like the Beretta was the macho gesture of a born killer.

I'm just the opposite. I have enormous meat hooks on the ends of my arms. There have been several pistols that are literally too small for me too shoot.
Most full sized auto's are good for me grip wise. The grip on a DEagle could have been designed using my hands as a grip mold.

Re: Springfield XD
The XD started life as the HS2000, made in Croatia. Springfield has simply re-badged it.
That said, they're fine weapons with much better ergos (IMHO) than Glock.

45 Auto is the same as 45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol). 45 Long Colt is a 19th century revolver cartridge.
To: Dead Corpse
I grew up shooting a .357, my favorite "carry" pistol is a Witness 10mm. My Taurus 92AF 9mm is a pussy cat by comparison.
Amen brother. My glock model 20 is my favorite "hand canon"

Didn't "M" admonish James Bond for carrying a Beretta because it lacked stopping power?The Beretta was a 9mm Kurz.
M wanted 007 to carry a Walther PPK also in 9mm Kurz.

thought is was a Walther PPK 9mm kurz (.380).Yes. The .380 design then was a much smaller carry than anything today in a larger caliber. I have both a P226 in 9mm and a P232 in 9mm Kurz for the wife.

Both are stainless. More weight = less recoil.

No, I believe it was the Walther PPK (8mm).9mm Kurz. I had one in 1968.

I thought the 9 was chsosen because the ammo was a common platform among many weapons.

Still my favorite handgun, and the one I plan to carry someday. (No stopping-power lectures, please). My fav will always be my 1911...but reality sets in.... here in the Texas heat....the weight and size make it extremely difficult to conceal in the summer. My summer stopper is a 38 SPL...

Still my favorite handgun, and the one I plan to carry someday. (No stopping-power lectures, please).A better choice on the light end caliber would be a .380. Ammo is MUCH more readily available.

"I carry a .380 PPK most of the time..."
I carry a Sig230 (.380), it is small accurate and reliable. I a small person and my Colt Commander is like trying to hide a water cooler on my person.
