Funny! And good photo except that’s a PPK/S rather than a PPK.

I have an Interarms Walther .380 PPK/S and a SIG P238. I like the P238 much better.

I would also include No Polymer. A possible addition would be a Kimber Micro 9:

Lovely, DanH. I love my P365 but I don't see my Micro 9 going away. My most fondleable pistol and the most elegant.

Imperceptibly concealable & reliable. My Kahr P380 or Glock 42 fits the description..

This right here. Slim, svelte.

Of course me being the uncultured heathen that I proudly am, had to look up who--besides the very dead Mamas & the Papas leader--John Phillips is.

(upon seeing Google results)

Oh...and here I thought skinny jeans took the dork look to excess. Guys (well, I think they're guys) pay five figures for that sort of stick-man clown suit high waters schlock? Women have zero grounds for complaining about the fashion industry overrepresenting skinny chicks in their adverts; stick figured MEN are at least equally overindulged upon in Savile Row advertising images.

I'm frickin' glad I'm so effin hick.

I would say on looks and size, a Boberg (Bond Arms) XR-9S ought to be eligible.

Look close, PPK/S is used in Bond Movies. To extension Walther PP in Dr. No, though still just called PPK in that one. Books are a different story.

A PPK in 7.65mm/.32ACP from Dr No to Tommorrow Never Dies (minus the poor attempt at getting a Walther P5 in Bond's hands in Octopussy). From Skyfall on it is a PPK/s in 9mm Kurtz. As a Anna... wait, like the guy on my mug that can't spell, I do my homework.

I missed that it was A PP in Dr. No. I tend to focus on the PP becoming a suppressed FN M1910 for a scene. And FN is clearly visible on the grips.

PP in Dr. No, and a PPK in From Russia With Love on...
