I did more research and found that in the short story (which I've read but forgot about) by Fleming ) A Veiw to a Kill" Bond has the "Long barreled Colt .45" and nearly gets killed because he had forgotten to disengage the "safety catch".
I think that settles it that the gun was a Colt 1911 or 1911A1 from the earlier books, too.
The books describe Bond training with the Beretta, PPK, and I think a .38 special, too, on a few occasions. But the Colt .45 isnt mentioned so we can assume he didn't train with it enough.
I apologize for the thread hijack but I think I'm done now. 😎
