 When Major Geoffrey Boothroyd wrote to James Bond creator  Ian Fleming (I) (qv) after reading "Casino Royale", he criticized  Bonds use of firearms. He stipulated that Bonds Walther PPK was  not as potent a weapon as the .44 magnum (used by Dirty Harry) and  that a shoulder holster (as seen in _Dr. No (1962)_ (qv)) does not  provide as quick a draw as a belt holster (viz many Westerns).
