I like having 007 carrying a PPK derivative. That makes me smile. It would be awesome if he had a Beretta 418 stashed away in his apartment for old times sake.

I will allow that Bond should occasionally carry a P-99 or PPQ, but only in covert direct action missions.

I'm really surprised that he didn't already switch to the PPS. When "QoS" was in production, it may have been a bit too new, but it's hard for me to see why they didn't bring in the PPS for "Skyfall".

Also, the P99 was always poorly suited to James Bond's needs because it's more of a service pistol than a conceal-carry piece. Whereas the PPS was, like the PPK, intended precisely to be carried concealed.

I think it depends on the situation. If he wears that suit all the time, a full size gun is fine as a carry gun

To be fair, the P99 is pretty small for a full sized service pistol.

Its more its the classic bond gun. And looks cool.

SPEMack618 11-13-2012 02:26 PM

I thought it was cool how he packed it the first time in tomorrow never dies, because h was going into a situation wher a lot of shooting would b going on anda duty gun makes a lot of sense.

Like I said, it really depends on the situation. Also watching Skyfall, I wonder does he have a holster in his suit somewhere or does he just stick it in his pocket. Because there are shots of him pulling it out of his jacket pocket and putting it back in. I don't even want to guess where his 3 extra mags came from.

I haven't seen it yet, but it's good to hear that Bond is actually bothering to reload. I don't recall him reloading often, if ever.
