As I remember it, .32 was a very popular caliber in western countries' intelligence agencies, up to WW2. Compact, even with a suppressor.True. A .25, he upgraded to the .32 PPK![]()
Don't knock .380ACP (aka 9mm Kurz). James Bond preferred .380!

Shows just how much of a Bond fan I am.... Sadly, 007 was permanently retired!James Bond’s handgun, particularly in the early films, was predominantly the Walther PPK chambered in 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP),
What caliber was the Walther PPK Bond used in most films?
In most of the early Bond films, the Walther PPK was chambered in 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP). While less powerful than 9mm rounds, the .32 ACP was considered adequate for close-quarters combat and offered a good balance of concealability and stopping power. Later, the 9mm short or .380 ACP appeared.
The Walther P99 was introduced in the Pierce Brosnan era to modernize Bond’s image and equip him with a more contemporary handgun. The 9mm P99 offered greater firepower and a more ergonomic design compared to the older Walther PPK. This change reflected a broader trend toward updating Bond’s gadgets and weaponry to align with modern standards.
