I don't know that i would've done any better w/Mrs. Outlaw standing there aiming a video camera @ me. Nice video though.

[@Beuwen_The_Dragon]

The reason for removing the grips to ‘skeletonize” the pistol was intended to make the pistol even more compact and concealable in suits and civilian clothing. Remember, the primary task of being a Spy is Not Getting Caught…

[@nickvittori9465]

The first time I saw the p99 in the intro to the world is not enough and I saw that red striker indicator, I fell in love. Loved 007 since i was a kid. I waited over a year and a half to find a NEW p99 AS black 9mm. One of the most ergonomic pistols ive ever shot and the paddle mag releases are amazing. Fast forward 2 years, my grandfather dies and he leaves me a small mysterious box. Inside, a mint condition ppk/s in grey, made in West Germany early 60s.

[@dragthatsht]

I'm a 1911 fanboy, however, I've owned a gen 1 P99 since 04 and it is a truly amazing gun. I can't remember it ever having a stoppage. It is incredibly accurate. Just a dream to shoot. My wife now carries it every day. I never understood how glock remained in business after Walther introduced it.

[@onpsxmember]

Glock had lots of movie exposure through Bad Boys and other movies.

[@brandondavis8005]

Walther got plenty of screen time. TV, film, anime, video games. It stands out more.

[@red9man2130]

most were too dumb to appreciate the p99.

[@Genesis23OPB]

the trigger and decocking feature of the P99 is its masterpiece, a very good gun and im not surprised at all that many people like it more than the PPQ.

[@benstoyles1297]

Glock sells their pistols at barely more than cost to LEO depts, and used to (maybe still do) have a ridiculous warranty. I think they essentially used LEO sales as a loss leader for civilian sales, and they probably make a decent margin on magazines. Walther had a distribution agreement with S&W, who they were in direct competition with (including S&W making a version of the P99). Walther also had a weird management decision to limit the amount of pistols they sold. I think they were adverse to having unsold stock sitting in the factory. I think there was also some bad press around the P99 in the late 90's/early 00's, in particular around the guide rod snapping.

[@lyfandeth]

A small microfracture can often be silver soldered by any competent jeweler, ensuring the problem won't spread.

[@Deathmetal104]

The walther ppk always has been my favorite james bond pistol and it really matches and fits in with the character.

Fun video... never seen Honest outlaw fumble with any gun.... the man is human after all. Thanks for sharing this “off the ranch “ video with us.

[@commandobond]

My fault entirely! I rebuilt this 7,65mm PPK from the ground up, and I need to replace the safety detent spring. I’m finding that the safety no longer likes to stay up on occasion. That, and the only .32 I had on hand was some **very** old Remington Kleanbore 😂. Looking forward to shooting with Honest Outlaw again, with the cleaned up PPK, and some more 00 firearms!!

[@HonestOutlawReviews]

[@WheeledandWellArmed]

Thanks for the Bond history recap!

[@robertwhitcomb6105]

Bought a P99 in early 2000. 10k rounds, only on failure (to eject). Very smooth trigger, and devours all ammo!

[@Mrgunsngear]

Thanks

[@varanid9]

The reason for the grip panel removal on the Beretta was for a flatter profile, not to "look cool" (it was a book series). The novels mention a couple of times how Bond notices the bulge of a gun under a suit, or mentions having a suit tailored to hide a pistol. The tape was to make the skeleton grip more secure as well as to hold down the grip safety.

[@johnshaw6326]

Also Ian Fleming was an interogater not a secretary.

[@JacksonWalter735]

Wasn't expecting a video like this. I thought we would get a different gun review or first impression, but a James Bond theme video was a pleasant surprise.

[@rglock35]

This is just cool. This video is awesome, I really like the nugget about the .25 beretta being a daily pocket carry. Thanks for having this guest on, he was great!

[@charliestoybox2099]

Finally got my Bond gun this last January. PPK/S stainless, works reliably so far. This led to the new PDP. Maybe Bond will use this in the future?

[@coreykononchuk]

I really would like to see the next Bond pick up the next Walther (PDP). Going back to the PPK from the P99 with Daniel Craig was so silly. Same with him having an Aston DB5, as if those cars don’t cost several million dollars today!

[@roul3688]

I really love those PPKs. Fun little pistol to shoot. Beautiful in stainless.

[@JDSFLA]

4:00 That jam is why M took Bond's Berretta away in the film "Dr. No" and make him use the Walther PPK. Bond had been wounded previously and spent six months recovering due to a jam.

[@frankbutta9344]

Ian Fleming worked in Naval Intelligence during WWII. 👍👍👍👍

[@robertsullivan4773]

I already have a 1911 so this interested me. I think I'm leaning towards the PPK for my car/carry gun.

[@Spoonman671]

I just got a PPK/S in .22LR. I haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet, but there's something about it that's already made me fall in love with it.

[@stevenmike1878]

she's picky on ammo. give her cci that runs the best, and aguila works pretty well. amazing single action trigger and very very accurate. if you wanna try different ammo's get 150-200 rounds. 500 is to much if it chokes a lot, goin thru the ammo will sour the range experiance. 150-200 rounds is enough to shoot all the ammo in a session and still find some enjoyment, if it ends up jamming a lot on that ammo.

[@ralphferly]

Keep it clean. Mine runs REM Thunderbolts

[@RickJZ1973]

Original Walther P99 is an awesome pistol. Very reliable and many manufacturers imitated the design features. PPK in 7,65mm is a true classic. Both are definitely great pistols.

The years of use really makes a difference. I've got a 1915 WW1 Luger and it's been shot a lot, it's trigger is at about 3#. Then I've got a 1939 WW2 Luger that's been shot very little and the pull is at about 8#, Everything is just much tighter on it.

[@Sreven199]

Fondling my Titanium P99 while I watch this....So nice.

[@RedcoatsReturn]

Great video! 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I heard the 418 was skeletonized to make it as light as possible and slim for deep concealed spy in very close use 😄 It was at 25 acp too light weight to kill a big Soviet adversary, the ppk 35 acp was a step up but still good for concealed use.

[@rdrrr]

Honestly .32 ACP isn't that much more potent than .25 ACP. The round is going too slowly for hollow point expansion so you're just making slightly bigger holes in stuff than a .25 would - in practice the amount of damage they do is very similar. Now .380 ACP, that's significantly meaner than .25 or .32. .32 pistols and .380 pistols are the same size. .25s are a fair bit smaller. So .32 is really "the worst of both worlds".

I think this quote sums it up ! Major Boothroyd: [to M, referring to Bond's Beretta] Nice and light... in a lady's handbag. M: Any comment, 007? James Bond: I disagree, sir. I've carried the Beretta for ten years, and I've never missed with it. M: No, but it jammed on you last job, and you spent six months in hospital in consequence. When you carry a 00 number, you have a license to kill, not get killed. Furthermore, since I've been head of MI7 [sic - MI6] there's been a forty percent drop in casualties, and I want to keep it that way. From now on you carry the Walther... unless you'd rather return to standard intelligence duties. James Bond: No sir,I would not. M: [to Boothroyd] Show him, Armourer. Major Boothroyd: [to Bond] Walther PPK, 7.65 millimeter, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. The American CIA swear by them. Martini's are Shaken NOT Stirred!!!

[@lowspeedhighdrag]

I seem to remember one of the novels featuring an ASP 9mm with the guttersnipe sight, as well as a 629 Smith in Live and let die. Plus a snub Smith .38 in the book version of Dr. No

[@commandobond]

Absolutely! Bond uses the ASP in some of the novels of the mid 90’s! The .38 was a SW Airweight too! Introduced in Chapter 2 of Dr. No, seriously some of my favorite Fleming prose of all time.

[@lowspeedhighdrag]

Some of the other comments also mention a Walter P5 in a couple of the movies. I must investigate further. Trust but verify, after all.

[@Tadicuslegion78]

He’s also used: A browning Hi Power, an HK VP70 and an HK P7 before John Gardner settled on the ASP…and frankly it’s a shame because I think the ASP could have gotten a second chance if more people knew it was James Bond’s gun. Then all the other others stuck to either the PPK or P99 depending on time era. If I had to Arm Bond for 2021, I’d either give him the HK VP9 or Walter PPQ

[@ChristophorosSokrates]

Walther P 99 is personal weapon Polish Police .

[@Tadicuslegion78]

I don’t know if this is known here, but a Major Boothroyd who was a gun expert and a fan wrote Ian Fleming and told him to give Bond a more manly gun and he recommended the Walter PPK, Fleming liked it so much that’s why the PPK was introduced in Dr. Novel the novel and made Major Boothroyd the character who gives Bond the gun. I believe as the gentleman states, Fleming was pocket carrying the Beretta 418 while in the service and he thought it was the right gun for a spy who needed to deep carry. And I believe he kept a Colt .45 in his glove compartment, but never specified if it was the SAA Colt or the 1911 Colt. If you’ve never read the original Bond novels, I can strongly recommend them. Heck the post Fleming Bond novels are entertaining too.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

If intelligence analyst (I guess) like Fleming carried a gun in car's glove compartment it and it was .45 Colt it most certainly was Colt 1911, not Colt SAA as SAA is quite big gun when compared to 1911. Not to mention it is cowboy gun.

SIDE NOTE #2: Did you know that David Bowie was originally slated to play the bad guy, MAX ZORAN ..? He was replaced by Cubbie Broccoli and replaced by Christopher Walken. Why-? Bowie wanted script approval and that was a no-go with the producers. At Eon, the only person with script approval, other than daughter, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G.
