How did the Walther PPK become James Bond’s weapon of choice?

James Bond has had his fair, fire-powered share of memorable gun-toting moments. Like Sean Connery skewering a henchman with a Jaguar Speargun in
Thunderball. Or Roger Moore shooting a sniper with a Holland & Holland Royal shotgun in
Moonraker. Even Daniel Craig made an impression at the end of
Casino Royale, casually resting a Heckler & Koch UMP-9 in the crook of his arm.
