                I've only read a couple of the books, but there's a scene in one of the old Sean Connery movies where after being injured he tries to take his old gun (a Beretta), but M won't let him and forces him to take the Walther.

                  “He then took from under his shirts in another drawer a very flat .25 Beretta automatic with a skeleton grip, extracted the clip and the single round in the barrel and whipped the action to and fro several times, finally pulling the trigger on the empty chamber. He charged the weapon again, loaded it, put up the safety catch and dropped it into the shallow pouch of the shoulder-holster. ”

                      A model 418, to be exact. 25ACP, a mouse gun. Customized for Bond with a threaded barrel (for a suppressor), grips removed and sites ground off. Fleming carried a 418 during the war.

                          Still hurts.

                          You know, I've seen more people killed with small calibers than with larger calibers. A lot more.

                            I used to carry a .25. I guarantee if someone pulls one on you, you will not think 'Pshaw! That's just a baby gun!'.

                                The industry did.

                                I retired my .25 when they came out with a .380 on the same size platform.

                                  My cousin gave me a gun that size, made by Smith & Wesson. I tried to shoot it, but i couldnt put my index finger in the trigger hole and hold the butt in my hsnd at the same time. I tried to shoot it by putting my middle finger in the trigger hole, but I couldn't get it in passed the second joint. Even then, when I tried to squeeze the trigger it lifted the gun out of my hand. I finally managed to pull the trigger but a. It lifted the butt halfway out of my hand and made it impossible to control where I shot, and b. The top piece flipped back and tore a chunk of skin out in that web between the thumb and the index finger. Thats why i call it a little girl's gun. I cant see how a grown man could shoot it.

                                    If there's anything the last 6 years have told us it's that we shouldn't judge a man by the size of his hands.

                                        Well, I had my heart set on a Glock 41 MOS (it’s the only Glock model that shoots .45 ACP that is also pre-cut to accept a red dot sight), then when I actually went to a shop to place an order, I found out the G41 MOS is out of stock. It looks like I missed the last one by only a day or two. No idea when it will be in stock again. Bummer.
