Skyfall and Quantum of Solace
Walther PPK
James Bond (Daniel Craig) carries the Walther PPK as his sidearm in the film. Field Agent Eve (Naomie Harris) also uses a PPK during the film's opening chase. When Q (Ben Whishaw) issues Bond his new pistol, he refers to it as a "Walther PPK/S, nine-millimeter short" and states that the gun is coded to Bond's palm print so that only he can fire it.

Yeah I was trying to get a Browning 1911-380 before the ban but settled for a Bersa instead. It was the only .380 I could find. Were I to live south of the border I'd make .380 a larger part of my shooting.
The Astra Constable, the Hungarian Wallam and the PP are all similar to look at and in the hand, with the Astra my favourite double action. The Star is my fav single action.
The Llamas surprised me. I have heard jamomatics, but these two have been flawless. One is all steel, the other is an "airlite".
I don't have a 1922. The FNs you see are either 1910s or 1955s. Very nice to shoot, have no sights, but shoot good groups anyway. Amazing.
The Walther PP dates from the mid-30s. It has been cloned and copied a lot.
Top left is the Walther. The chromed pistol is the PPK/s - a PP frame with a shorter slide.
Bottom left is a Hungarian pistol, very similar to a PP.
Bottom right is the Asta Constable. One of my favourite shooters in 380. Well made with adjustable sights and a very nice trigger.

I have a Walther PP .380 seems to be all original will all numbers matching. Some sources give it 1938, some others - 1940. Magazine release at the bottom. Some gun collector told me it's Luftwaffe issued rare model, some other collectors are baffled. Whatever. Cool little thingy to have fun with.
Can you post some pictures?
Thank you for the video. However none of those presented samples have mag release at the bottom. Also mine falls out of their suggested serial numbers range. Mine is 173###P.

Your Walther PP was made in 1940 (production sn's from 157###P - 203###P in 1940)
No, the bottom mag release PP's werent specifically issued to the Luftwaffe, it's just the way the 9mm Kurz PP's were manufactured...(much rarer than the 7.65mm pistols)
