Everybody knows James Bond carried a Beretta .25 until it was taken away and he was made to use the Walther PPK. In the movies. But in the books he carries others. I found a page that lists what he carried and when, in the books and in the films.
In the couple of Bond books by John Gardner that I read, he would carry Rugers. Both Redhawks and Blackhawks were mentioned. Of course he drove a Saab in at least one of those books.
you can empty the clip into your opponent and he will beat you to death with a bar stool while he bleeds to death.
If you go to original Wikipedia article, it leads you a great meta Bond list
I got tripped up by the Final Jeopardy question of July 21, 2005:
…because I overthought it. When James Bond was introduced in the 1953 novel Casino Royale, he used the Beretta. He didn’t get the PPK until 1958’s Dr. No, the sixth book in the series.
I’m a little disappointed that “List of James Bond Lists” is not one of the links in that list. But at least I can add it to my list of “lists that do not reference themselves.”
