Though Im curious..anyone know any law enforcement agencies who issue
.25s or .380s to street cops as their primary arm? And why not?

And which branch of the US military does the same?

Ill be waiting with interest.



James Bond, whose exploits are every bit as real as yours, favors a
.25. But certainly there are other experts whose opinions we should
seek out. Anybody have an email address for Deputy Dawg or Elmer Fudd?

In early novels James Bond favored the Walther PPK which was made in
.32ACP and .380ACP or 9mm Kurz.

"he introduced Bond as using a Beretta 418"

"The Beretta 418 in 6.35 mm (.25 ACP)"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beretta_418

"007's weapon of choice, his .25 calibre Beretta was taken from him in
Dr. No when M called in the armourer for advice"

No pertinent snorf articles on Fudd or Dawg, so you expirts are free
to argue over which weapons they favored and if they'd be good for
shark shooting. Oh, and don't forget to whine about the i in expirt,
since I'd hate to think that I overrode the spellchecker for nothing.
