James Bond contest with Walther Arms USA

22Shooter · Oct 6, 2020

Hey everyone, I thought I’d share a contest that I’m actually hosting with Walther Arms USA and see if anyone here would be interested in entering. The next James Bond film, No Time To Die has currently been pushed back until April, but we’re still going forward with the contest, to win a brand new 2020 Walther PPK/S. Here’s the video from my YouTube channel.

Why a PKK/S?

Bond carried a PPK. Although in the movies, many times it was a PP.

And why .380? Bond carried it in .32 ACP.

A free gun and someone's complainin'. (But asking good questions. At least I saw an Aston-Martin in the trailer.)

Because Smith & Wesson doesn't make a blued .32, probably.

One of these days I'm going to get on GunBroker and get me an old blues .32 ppk. I bet it is a sweet shooter in .32. Never had the pleasure.

I stand corrected. I didn't realize they weren't being made by Smith & Wesson anymore. That's good news. I owned a Smith & Wesson one and it was a piece of crap. Worst gun I ever owned in terms of reliability even after I sent it back to Smith & Wesson

Major Boothroyd may, or may not, approve.

I just checked with the local formal wear rental place, and they said that they've had a run on their OFWG Signature Line tuxedos. Guess I'm going to have to go Polyester Leisure Suit Bond, or maybe Moonraker Bond.

Be sitting down when you do that search.

I had the same brilliant idea, but decided I did not need a toy at $2500 and UP.

Go here and find a shooter PP for around $700-800.

I know it isn’t a PPK but, I always found that the PP was a bit more pleasant to shoot.

I've bought a few pre-Nazi PPKs. Paid between 750 and a grand for them. It takes patience but they can be found.

32acp is a joy to shoot in these old guns. It's what they were designed for. Had a PPK/S in 380; hated it.

A coupe of weeks ago while at The Machine Gun Nest to pick up a transfer there was a fellow with several handguns he was interested in selling. He's getting on in years and wanted to let them go. One was a 1960s Colt Python with only one cylinder full shot through it when new...and looked brand new...box and all. He was asking a fair amount...maybe top of the current market so I wasn't interested. His other piece was a NIB Walther PPK he bought when he first saw "Dr. No" in 1962. He was asking $750...I'm not familiar with values but it struck as good deal. He game me his contact information and when home I researched values on PPKs from that era. I realized how good deal it was and contacted him right away...he had already found a buyer an hour before.

Such is life.

Well, I'm sure as can be that you've done well on occasion. You can't buy them all. (Don't ask how I know).

Still, too bad you missed it. Gotta move fast sometimes.

I'm reminded of the guy who told me that he didn't overpay for a gun, he just bought it a bit early. He was right. Don't ask me how many I've missed, it'll only make me sad.

Yeah...thought a lot about the Python...contacted the guy and it's still for sale. We made a deal...will meet next week at TMGN to do the transfer...then the 7-day jail time before I can pick it up. The Python has had only eighteen rounds run though it since new. Damn...don't find 'em like that very often.

It’s a PPK/S because that’s what Walther donated lol

This is not an S&W, this is made by Walther Arms USA and comes in a very handsome case. They are only manufacturing the new 2020 PPK and PPK/S in 380 at the moment
