the smallest gun that i am able to use is a rouge rifle company 22. chipmunk... at least i think that is the company... good gun though fun to shoot but a pain to keep loading when you use non-coated lead rounds (sticks to the inside of the barrel)
 
I own a .22lr Crickett (purple laminate), and a H&R/NEF Pardner Youth 20g. But those are just because I have 2 kids who can't legally own them until they are 14. I also have a Taurus 94(?) .22lr snubby and a 10/22 compact. Fun range guns.

Strawhat, I just want to know where you find ammo for that.

It is still being produced as are the pistols and revolvers. At least the last time I needed to buy any ammo. Not the highest rated ammo for one shot stops but better than a fist? Well, maybe not. My fists have produced some effective stops but that was years ago. The pistol was a gift from my wife and presented to me with the watch. I carry both daily unless I am flying commercial airlines. TSA has no sense of humor! I wish I had access to one of the NAA revolvers to show how small the pistol really is.

I've got an old Colt Vest Pocket .25ACP. Original wood grips, good bluing, and a little tiny belt holster to hold it. It's surprisingly accurate and hasn't jammed yet... I'll probably have to give it back to my stepdad at some point though, as it's his :D
 
+1 on the TSA not having a sense of humor. Also, Chevelle, I LOL'ed at the tactical Derringer
 
Right now, it's a .38 spec. derringer that can't decide if it wants to fire the top, bottom, or BOTH rounds. Gotta get that worked on. I don't fire it. Not since I thought I was firing one round and they both discharged. When I pull back the hammer, it's a crap shoot as to the "clicks" and number of rounds that will be comming out of the barrel.
 
P3AT is the smallest handgun I own
Does a Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70 count at 7 pounds with an 18.5" barrel?
 
1956 Beretta .25 like James Bond would have carried before getting his .32
Casino Royale was written and set in 1953. James Bond could not have carried a pistol made in 1956, unless Q gave him a time machine.
Although, the Beretta 418 was produced until the mid-50's....perhaps your 1956 Beretta is one of the last 418 models and WOULD be "like" Bond's.
Also, when giving up his .25acp to carry the PPK .32acp, Bond says that he had been carrying the Beretta for 15 years. That book (Dr. No) was written was in 1958. The Beretta would have been carried since at least 1943 (in his WWII service?).
Many folks think Bond's .25acp was a Beretta 950. But the 950 was not introduced until 1953. They also have torsion springs under both grip panels. Bond's Beretta had it's grip panels removed and replaced with tape to make it thinner. A 950 would not function that way. Also, In Casino Royale, Bond unloads his Beretta .25. In doing so, he racks the slide until the magazine is empty. The 950 has no extractor, you cannot rack the slide to empty the magazine.
Bond most likely carried a Beretta 418. That gun fits the book descriptions.
BTW: In Casino Royale (1st Bond book), it is his 38 Special (he keeps under the pillow) which is described as having the sawn barrel. They don't descrbe the .45 in the Bentley's glove box much though.


SMALL GUNS? How many? I dunno, I'd have to look at my spreadsheet.
The vast majority of pistols that I own are "mouseguns" in .25acp, .22 Short, .22LR, .32acp, and .380acp ...... I love 'em!

If it fires two rounds with one trigger pull, its a machine gun, a double barrel machine derringer.
