What Revolver would James Bond use?

Sorry guys. IMO- The only gun for Bond is the PPK. Simple, elegant, just enough without being overdone. Bond would never use a revolver or any American gun unless it was the only option. The CIA and Americans in general are always shown as almost comical relief in the movies.
Only other perfect match was the 500NE used in Skyfall.
 
You guys are missing the obvious. He would carry an NAA mini in a fold of his underwear, and he would be able to shoot the gun out of the bad guy's hand without losing a grip on the curvaceous lady who, well, gave him a reason for his underwear to be exposed.
 
You're all wrong - Today's Bond would carry.... a Bond:

:p

If we're going into the hypothetical, I could see the Pierce Brosnan version of Bond carrying a Walther R99 (basically a Walther-branded S&W K-Frame .357 Magnum made for the European market) since he was the 90's and early 2000's Bond and began the affair with non-PPK Walthers in Tomorrow Never Dies.

Also, did anyone else notice that the cover picture of Roger Moore for Live and Let Die shows him with a Ruger Redhawk while he clearly uses a nickel S&W M29 in the actual film?
 
Yes, Yes Webley,
I have a VHS tape that clearly shows him with a Redhawk. Always thought it was my cheap Walmart edition!!;)

How can a gun introduced in 1979 be used in a movie released in 1973?

T.,
You think maybe I didn't buy the movie until sometime in the 90's? I didn't own a VHS machine until the late 80's.

Geoffrey Boothroyd allowed Fleming to borrow this gun of his for the painting on the dust jacket of From Russia With Love done by the trompe a l'oeil artist Richard Chopping.

Chopping said that the gun had been 'the very devil to paint' but he managed it well. Boothroyd had converted the gun himself from a pre-Victory .38/200 S&W, and persuaded Webley's to reluctantly sell him a target rearsight to fit onto it, and cut the barrel down, fitting a ramp sight of uncertain origin. He was determined to have changeable front sight inserts.
