There are a lot<\/em> of .22LR rimfire handguns out there, but the Walther PPK\/S .22 stands out from the crowd \u2014 and not just because of the obvious tie-in to James Bond. Let’s take a closer look at the Walther PPK\/S .22 and see why it might just be the best rimfire pistol on the market.<\/p>\n

The PPK\/S was used in the GoldenEye video game. Look at the serial number on the grip. It reads, “For 007”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The allure of owning a Walther PPK\/S .22 lies in large part with being a James Bond fan. Whether you prefer Sean Connery or you’re a fan of Daniel Craig and everyone in between, nothing is as iconically James Bond as his MI6 issued Walther PPK\/S.<\/p>\n

Bond’s use of the PPK\/S originated in the Ian Fleming novel, but if you’re a hardcore fan you know that Bond did not start off with what was to become his signature pistol. Instead, early Bond was issued a .25 Beretta M418. Later, however, firearms expert by the name Geoffrey Boothroyd sent Ian Fleming a letter about how ineffective the .25 cal Beretta would be. So, they agreed on the PPK instead. Fleming immortalized Boothroyd by creating a character named Major Boothroyd \u2014 who went on to become the character “Q” in the films.<\/p>\n
