James Bond’s guns are not just props.
They are part of the character.
In this episode of the Colion Noir Podcast, Caleb joins me to talk about **Licensed Troubleshooter: The Guns of James Bond**, a massive coffee-table book covering the firearms of Bond across the Fleming novels, continuation novels, official films, unofficial films, and the real-world history behind them.
And the stories get wild fast.
Walther’s owner personally hand-delivered a prototype P99 to Pierce Brosnan on the set of *Tomorrow Never Dies*.
Brosnan liked him so much that the movie’s third act and promo photography were changed to include the new Walther.
Then there is *Dr. No*, where the iconic Bond gun lore gets even stranger because almost every gun on screen is wrong if you watch it frame by frame.
We also get into why the books sometimes have cooler guns than the movies, how Bond became one of the biggest pop-culture gateways into firearms, why the PPK still defines the character, and what gun Bond should carry if the franchise started fresh tomorrow.
Caleb’s pick?
The ASP 9mm.
A deep-cut Bond gun with real character, real lore, and just enough outdated-but-functional weirdness to feel right for 007.
This episode is about Bond, guns, culture, craftsmanship, and why fictional firearms can still shape what real people carry, collect, and care about.
