Hi:

Bond had his M34 pulled and replaced by the PPK in one of the movies that I personally saw. Right now, the name excapes me. It was a M34, not the 418.

Well, I just got back from a very satisfying range session. I fired the Walther PP, and the Beretta M34. Standing off-hand at 7 yards, both pistols are capable of ragged, one hole groups. The Walther had the edge in accuracy, especially with Fiocchi ammo. I had one malfuncion with the Walther...with the aluminum cased Blazer ammo. You can classify the malfunction as a failure to eject, although the spent casing got caught in the ejection port on it's way out the pistol. Other than that, I had no other malfunctions, with several different types of ammunition.

The Beretta performed with absolute reliability, but the only ammo I tried in it was Magtech. All in all, I was quite pleased, and my latex glove solution (that I learned while firing G.I. Spec 1911s) worked great. I got through the entire range session with no bites.....not a single mark...
