#JamesBond

Walther is bringing back a classic pistol option not seen in many years. While most American shooters think of the PPK as a .380 ACP, that was not the original chambering. The .32 ACP PPK was the first model, and Walther is making it again. 

James just saw “No Time to Die” and figured it was high time for him to make a video about the best guns from the James Bond series of films. In this episode, James ranks the 5 best guns from the 007 movies. James even takes you on a mini-tour of the north coast of Jamaica, where Ian Fleming lived and wrote the first 12 James Bond books. There are two obvious winners in this list, but there are some surprises in here as well, as well as some sightseeing with your boy Reeves, James Reeves.

The Skinner Historic Arms & Militaria Auction held in late October brought unique and rare firearms, as well as very interested buyers. Almost all of the items featured here saw military usage, with one exception being a Colt Python, said to have been used in The Man with the Golden Gun Bond film. Most of the items we’ll cover today went well beyond their estimated worth.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is curious: How well does he shoot after he’s been drinking? Since guns and booze don’t mix, James uses drunk driver-simulation goggles to test it out. He also enlists the help of James Bond, an expert at drunk marksmanship, to test out this double tall order. The gents get tuxed up and use the new Ideal Conceal 9mm Cell Phone Gun and, of course, the Walther PPK. How do they do? The results may surprise you.

Many firearms enthusiasts don’t only love their own guns, they can appreciate good movie guns as well. And when it comes to guns in film, there are plenty of iconic models from which to choose. One of the most popular has to be James Bond’s iconic Walther. This signature pistol made its silver screen debut in the first 007 movie, 1962’s Dr. No. This seminal piece of film history saw the late, great Sean Connery bring British spy James Bond to life in what would become a cultural phenomenon that is still going strong today, almost six decades later.

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop shoots the first generation Walther P99 and the Magnum Research MR9 Eagle. Is the Magnum Research clone better than a real P99? Should James Bond have switched back to the PPK after the Brosnan era? Does anybody remember the Smith & Wesson SW99?

In 2017 TFB visited the exhibition “ James Bond in Motion” at the London Film Museum.

Created in 1953 Ian Fleming’s British Secret Agent James Bond continues to fascinate.

REMEMBER the  four rules of gun safety:

The USMC have officially adopted Glock’s 19M and designated it the M007. The new concealed carry pistol is being issued to Marine Corps Criminal Investigators first.

The largest collection of original James Bond Vehicles is now displayed at the London Film Museum at Covent Garden.

I watched the latest Bond film, Spectre, last friday. While it was fun, I could not help myself from noticing the firearm issues in the movie. Warning some may consider these to be spoilers. If you have not seen the movie and care about spoilers, do not continue to read until you have seen the movie.

SilencerCo just announced a collaboration. They are bundling Walther Arms PPK/S .22LR pistols with their Spectre 22 suppressor. They are working exclusively with SK ARMS to sell the bundled package.
