Near as I can find in any of my research, the CIA never carried the Walther PPK, especially in .32 Auto. They used a High Standard for silent interventions of a close up nature.
Oddly enough, I think it was about 4 movies later that SPECTRE refers to Bond as "the only man known to use such a gun."
Still cool, though.
There's a lot of artistic license in the Bond series, primarily because the original author, Ian Fleming, wasn't a gun guy.
Bond originally carried a Beretta 418 in .25ACP in the first few books. Then, a fan wrote into Fleming complaining about the Beretta, basically saying that it was a lady's gun. Fleming wrote back to the fan for suggestions and the fan instead suggested the now-famous .32ACP, aka 7.65mm Browning, PPK.
Fleming wasn't a gun guy and thus didn't know the ins and outs of firearms useage, development, and history. Add on top of that the movie industry's anti-gun, or at least gun-ignorant, bias, and there's a recipe for bullshit in the Bond movies.
