In the first few James Bond books Flemming had 007 packing a .25 Beretta.<br /><br />A Scottish arms enthusiast wrote him a letter calling the .25 a "Lady's Gun", and for Bond's needs a .32 PPK would be a better choice, and history was made.<br /><br />Yeah I was reading a crime novel a few years back where a professional hit man was packing a SIG 245.

There's the technical aspect of how they work, the historical side of their use over the centuries in peace and war, the legal history of their restrictions and the resistance to that, the practical issues of how to use them for self-defense, hunting, warfare, target shooting, etc. Still, it's a subject that is very satisfying to have learned about.
