Title: Any Weapon's Experts? - What Kind of Pistol is this Modeled on?
Post by: RetroJames on April 03, 2006, 10:29:34 am

I am finishing a review for RetroBlast! of the Act Labs lightgun and am trying to figure out what type of pistol it is modeled on. Anyone have any clues?

I believe it is based on James Bond's trusty Walther PPK.  I have attached pictures below of both the Walther PPK (top) and Smith & Weson 9mm (bottom).  You can see the difference and the Act Labs gun is a dead ringer for the Walther PPK.

I would have to say the 007 rig looks pretty close. Thanks Mark!

I thought it might be a Sig/Sauer P232.

PPK was my guess when I first saw pictures of it after the re-release.
