So I saw this old thread by a banned member.

Ironically, when I was at my local FFL, he said the same thing but much more complicated. The Walther PPK has been transferred to FOUR different manufacturers in recent years. It's a mess. No real steel PPK's at two of the largest stores in my area.

What are the other options; Co2, Airsoft, blank, replica...
There are several threads on this but most of them are very old. Can people post updated options for the iconic bond gun? Obviously, the options are limited in certain countries, but it would be nice to have up to date info.
 
I wrote an article on The Guns of James Bond a couple years ago. The slideshow with the article has pictures of two or three actual guns used in the movies.

If you follow the links in the article you'll find higher res photos and more info on the various guns used in the movies.

The surprising thing is that Connery used a Walther PP, NOT a Walther PPK, in "Dr. No." The dialouge indicates it's a PPK, but the actual prop was the slightly largely PP. It was in 9mm Kurz (.380)

In other movies the various Bonds did use PPK's, in both 9mm Kurz and 7.65mm (.32). They had a variety of grips including brown with Walther banner, black with no markings, etc.

Read the article and follow the links and you'll learn all you could ever want to know about the actual guns used. Then it's just a matter of finding one similar or a replica with the right features.
