::::Yes, but the CIA is hardly the only organization that would want to remove serial numbers off of guns. Them, and probably all the criminals in the world. Maybe if it had special CIA grips or special CIA ammo. --[[User:Funkychinaman|funkychinaman]] 20:32, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Bond incorrectly identified it as a Smith and Wesson .38 which would make it a model 10 or 15 when it was in fact a model 19 .357 magnum. So much for being an expert :/




On the S&W M29 - according to the book James Bond's London, Bapty supplied a Smith and Wesson Model 66 Combat Magnum for the voodoo sacrifice sequence.  And to me, Bond's revolver in the film doesn't appear to have the mass of an M29.

Model 19 Snubnose

A Quick question - if Bond identifies the S&W model 19 as "standard CIA issue", why do most of Kananga's gangsters use them as well?

Same reason a lot of cops use Glocks and gangsters as well. And its a movie, so it was probably cheaper to rent a few Model 19 revolvers than several different guns. -The Winchester
I think the issue here is Bond making wild assumptions about a person's affiliations, despite having a really common weapon. ("That guy had a Glock 22! Why is the Nashville PD after me?") --funkychinaman 12:33, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
