I am not a gun expert, and the author is unavailable. But quoting from "The Shooters Log" (http://blog.cheaperthandirt.com/walther-ppk-good-carry-gun/)
"Among the most respected small self-loading pistols is the Walther PPK."
"The PPK became known as the carry gun of one Bond, James Bond. I do not wear a tuxedo, and I drive a Ford Truck, not an Aston Martin. However, I still appreciate the Walther PPK. It is a simple pistol in most ways. The trigger action is double-action, first-shot, and the operating action is a simple blow-back without the complication of a locked breech."
"It is heavier for a reason. The recoil is light, and the pistol is also very accurate, even surprisingly so."

I keep telling you: Don't worry your pretty little head about it, Darlin'
You have the Beretta that M made Bond give up. I wouldn't shoot that or throw it!

Many years ago, when I was young (or at least younger :)) I was Instractor for a few years. I have shot several thousend shots with the PPK and with a few 9mm pistols. On a distance of 5m you can´t harm a car tire and at 20 m distance the cartrige stucks half outside a half pig using the PPK. But it is indeed simple, accurate and reliable. And if you are good at throwing the PPK could be deadly.

BTW PPK stands for Polizeipistole Kurz (for you German speakers)

To quote Fleming in Dr. No (which you have to respect for no other reason than Ursula Andress' swimsuit)

"Walther PPK. 7.65mm, with a delivery like a brick through a plate glass window. Takes a Braush silencer with very little reduction in muzzle velocity. The American CIA swears by them."
– Maj. Boothroyd, to 007, in Dr. No

I, as an amateur with guns took this to mean the CIA liked them. Per Wikipedia:

"Geoffrey Boothroyd was a highly esteemed British firearms expert and author of several standard reference works on the subject, who is best known to the general public for giving weapons advice to James Bond author Ian Fleming."
"Beginning with A Guide to Gun Collecting and Guns Through the Ages (both 1961) to The British Over and Under Shotgun co-authored with Susan Boothroyd (2004), Boothroyd was a prolific author on the subject of firearms"

That was my limited research on the subject.

If truth be told, I was hoping for a gallery of naked {Barbara Moore} pictures with her engaged in various forms of sexual depravity ,debauchery and deviance with sundry men, women and various other species.

However, I guess that might be taken as a bit of exploitative sexism if not actual gratuitous sex for titillation.

So, I like the second very much; it reflects some of the darkness in Chapter Ten

BTW Fans, Ten is the darkest chapter (though not necessarily the cruelest)
