Re: Some Random "Casino Royale" Thoughts... *LINK*

: I thought about the exact same thing! I did
: notice Bond hitting the decocking lever too.
: I don't know if it was the older P99 though
: (couldn't get good views on the trigger
: guard). Do you think it was a .40 cal or a
: 9mm?

It was the older P99 in 9mm. I could tell by the older style trigger guard and by the grooves cut into the front of the slide. .40's don't have these grooves, since the slide requires more mass to cycle. Click on the link below for photos of what I'm talking about.

: I'd also imagine that the PO was changed
: throughout the film, or they just got rid of
: the AR coating altogether...... There were
: no watch gagets here, which I thought was
: for the better (the lasers were a little
: over doing it I thought).
