Bond was also issued a "Smith and Wesson Centennial Airweight Revolver .38 calibre", but I can not recall him carrying the S&W.
Hmm.... Learn something new every day. I had heard that he carried a PPK/S in .380acp a long time ago, and frankly - I'm an anti-Bond guy, try as I might, I just can't get into the 007 series movies, so I'd never watched one to have noticed the difference.
But, whether a jim-dandy brit in a bow-tie signed off on it or not, the Walther PPK/S is still a handy little pistol.
