The Walther "Police Pistol Slim" is a variant on the P99 (the gun Bond has been carrying in the last several movies) designed to be easily concealed with a 1.04 inch profile. That makes it smaller and lighter than both the PPK and P99. It comes in both 9mm and S&W 40.
Sounds like a perfect choice. Deaver is keeping in the Walther tradition, but going with a gun that makes sense for James Bond's line of work (the P99 was somewhat ridiculous in this regard).
Thanks to Jim, Captain Tightpants, and Jeff007 of the CBn forums.

The P99 was ridiculous in what regard? It's not exactly a huge pistol, though the PPS is undoubtedly more easily concealed.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was much too big to effectively conceal.
ReplyDeleteIt's more a question of the butt, not the entire gun. Although the P99 is big enough to make it difficult to conceal. Yep, pretty ridiculous if you do not happen to be on the somewhat massive side.
ReplyDeletelooks to much like a ladys gun, and i didnt like the p99 either
ReplyDeleteThe PPS is definitely not a "ladies" gun -- Walther designed it very well and it fits the hand flawlessly. It is accurate and reliable. Besides, I doubt an enemy after getting hit with 8 rounds of 9mm will say "Is that all? That's a ladies gun."
ReplyDeleteseems like people will cry 'ladies gun!' if it's not some huge x frame .500 revolver or desert eagle
ReplyDeleteThe Walther PPS is also available in .40 S&W, with a total 7 round capacity when using the standard size magazine.
ReplyDeletein deaver's carte blanche, he uses a .40 PPS
ReplyDeleteIt a great gun. The walther PK380 will be good for 007
ReplyDeleteI feel that Fleming's Bond, if put into today's world, would most likely being using the Beretta 3032 Tomcat or the Ruger LC9 for every day use.
ReplyDeleteWould this gun be ok for a guy with a large frame?
ReplyDeletei think he should use a silenced shotgun haha :)
