What is the name of the pistol 007 traditionally uses?

The Walther PPK was the weapon of choice for James Bond from the films "Dr. No" to "Tomorrow Never Dies" (except "Moonraker" and "Octopussy") and again in "Quantum of Solace", "Skyfall" and "SPECTRE", (an acronym for "Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion"), and probably "No Time To Die". The gun is also mentioned in the Ian Fleming novels from "Dr. No" to "The Man with the Golden Gun". It's the only gun/gadget that is used by all the Bond actors.

"Walther PPK. 7.65 mm, with a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. Takes a Brausch silencer with very little reduction in muzzle velocity. The American CIA swear by them."

- Major Boothroyd to 007, "Dr. No".

It depends on if you're asking about in the films or in the novels. 007 used a beretta 418 until it was replaced by the PPK in Dr. No (the sequence of the novels and films is not the same). But in this question with the choices given it is the Walther.

Quite too small for a big guy like James bond to use Walther PPK. PP stand for police pistol. Developed by the German arms dealer carl Walther gmbH sportwaffen.
