I don't know the answer Fred--the make sounds familiar--but
surely
anything with that small a calibre is 'a woman's gun'? There
is though
'a James Bond Book' in the local library--next time I'm in
there I'll
try to remember to check it to see if the size of Bond's
weapon is given
;-)

During or after the Falklands/Malvinas fiasco, the UK Press
(well, the
bit of it I read, anyway) reported that that particular HRH
had been
dubbed 'Prince Bullshit' because, if I recall correctly
(perhaps other
UK rara-avians can correct me if I'm wrong) some of the
claims he made
about 'action' and other escapades while the ship he was on
was kept
pretty well out of the line of fire.
