What gun would you give Bond?

[rodinal220]

H&k p7

The thing that burns my toast is that EVERY actor (7 of them) that played Bond is an ANTI-2A that advicates gun control, including my favorate Sean Connery.

Me I'll watch the Bourne trilogy before I will watch another Bond movie.

You do realize Matt Damon is more politically liberal than all the Bond actors put together, and a supporter of gun control laws? He's said "I actually hate guns. They freak me out."

Did we really have to go there again? Keep in mind that gun control advocates are the vast, vast majority of the rest of the world. Being that Bond actors come from the "rest of the world" their position on firearms should be no surprise.

That said, damn, no takers on my Lightweight Detective Hi Power...?

I have a promo photo of George Lazenby wielding a SIG P210. Now THAT is class! Do we know for sure that George is anti-gun? The SIG may have been his real life preference. In the meantime, we can still be assured that Fleming was, and thus the REAL Bond, was/is pro gun.

 

[Zaydok Allen]

What about a real high end Knighthawk Custom 3" 1911? That would do in my mind.

 

[3GunEric]

Sig P239

First off the PPK's DA trigger is awful. Always has been awful and there is no way to fix it so I sure would not give him THAT gun.

And the .32 ACP round? Heck no. 9x19 at the minimum.

First off it would NOT BE POLYMER. I mean surely Bond one day want's to hand it down to his grandkids, right?

Bond is British. So he only gets to keep his gun until he stops working for the government there.

I would say that Q would have gotten a hold of a Lightweight Hi Power, had it cut down Detective style, given it a melt job on controls, and then issued it with thin grips.

Which is exactly what I had done and is now my carry pistol.


Buuuuuut, it is a custom handgun and therefore too easily identified with the person carrying it for any plausable deniability.

007 doesn't need no stinking 9mm.

+1
Give him the Walther PPK in .32acp. He's James Bond, for crying out loud. He doesn't need anything else.

Wow hso--I think this deserves a picture!!! I think I talked it up so well, that I talked myself into wanting one!

Legend has it that George Lazenby spent some of his "down time" on the sets in Switzerland throwing his empties in the air and trying to shoot them with a "9mm Luger" (possibly the P-210 he is pictured with)


As for the modern 007 he should drop the PPK in favor of ...............


a PPK-L 7.65mm , or a PPS 9mm

 

[acftmech]

I agree with Walther PPQ!

 

[481]

Bond is most assuredly English so he needs an English pistol.

If it were left to me, I'd arm him with the-



Webley Scott semi-automatic pistol, calibre 9mm Browning Long, Model of 1909

 

[click clack]

Sig P232.

 

[helitack32f1]

I would give him something new and advanced and different than anything else out there so everyone who saw it would say "Hey, what the heck is that?" And it would be a gun so advanced that it has advanced beyond the constraints of old world metal. In other words, it would have a polymer frame.

It would be this: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/03/22/arsenal-firearms-strike-one-pistol/

 

[wild cat mccane]

Well, he carried a PPS .40 in the last book...so...

 

[bill3424]

An HK P7 would be pretty cool. Or a Walther PPK .22...lol.

It's James Bond..... no plausable deniability is needed because he never fails!!!! It's the same with Jason Bourne, Macgyver (though he was so good he needed no gun), Batman (yes, prior to 1939 Batman carried a pistola), and if we're talking real people, obviously Chuck Norris would have no need for deniability.

I'd have to go with one of those sleek compact beautys from HiPoint

If going that route then it needs to be a Beretta 87

Great thread...!

As luck would have it, I just saw Skyfall last night and was thinking the same thing...

I'm thinking H&K P7, unique, classy and better than that damn PPK.

It's tough to watch Bond have to reload when he's getting shot at, but glad they included the re-loading scenes for realism...much appreciated!

 

[SharpsDressedMan]

I loved the way Skyfall brings the whole James Bond story back to the beginning again. It was nice to see the little Walther but I'm thinking CZ P07.

 

[TCBPATRIOT]

How about a carcal in the compact version. But truthfully speaking I think a spy that carries all the time really isn't that great of a spy to begin with

 

[SharpsDressedMan]

If the Cold War was still in effect, I'd give him a Makarov just to confuse the Reds! A true agent is supposed to be anonymous and blend in. As soon as the enemy know who you are, you are pretty much screwed.
