A Beretta .25 belongs in a lady’s handbag, not as the sidearm of the world’s greatest secret agent. Ian Fleming chose poorly on that front.

I would have thought by now Bond would be carrying something that handles the 5.7 x 28.

Without a doubt. When the gun guys got a hold of Fleming he wrote it in as the reason Bond was nearly killed and corrected the situation with the PPK. It was all a well written part of some of the first few novels

BTW the small concealable piece is a necessity for a spook in a tux.
