Actually I bought my .380 PPK in 1967. The original chambering for the PPK was .32 and (i think) .22. The PP was also available in .22, .32, and .380.

You guys are talking about the gun that Bond used in that early scene where he chases the guy to be bell tower, right? Too honest, it looks too small to be even a .380, but I could be wrong. The action was a little too fast for me to take some proper screenshots.





Here's a shot of the pistol itself after he drops it falling from the bell tower (just before he shoots the guy).



I haven't seen the whole movie yet, but if it's another scene you guys are referring too, let me know which one is it.

A later part in the film. Won't say exactly when as to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. I suppose it could be a .380.

I don't know if its a .380 or not, but it is obviously a PPK or a PPK clone.

Bond's gun has traditionally been the PPK from the beginning. (not the earlier television show with "Jimmy" Bond, however.)
He does some times use the newer 9mm Walthers in the newer bond films.

But yeah.. the PPK is always his primary pistol.

Oh and don't worry, that's no clone. he's James Bond for crying out loud!.

as a side note: I've seen both the new bond films in the past 48 hours.
