God I hate those TV shows where the women carry big handguns in large OWB holsters and they get a lot of shots of them walking with it bulging off their belts.... but when they are wearing form-fitted sport jackets, golly NO bulge!

Except Katherine Willows on CSI.
She can do anything she damn well pleases.

Hollywood- so many guns, so little logic... ( refering to how Hollywood glorifies firearms, then how so many of the the producers and stars are anti gun )

I took some friends of mine to the range earlier this year.
They came to Texas from NYC.
Neither had ever held or fired a pistol before.
After some basic safety stuff at the house we went to the range.
I warned them that this experience may ruin some of the their TV and movie watching.
They couldn't believe the difference in the reality of actually shooting a handgun as opposed to what they see on TV.
The recoil, the fact to have to reload (no endless ammo), and number 1,
The NOISE.
I only had 9mms at the time so we rented an XD45acp and a 357mag revolver.
I also told them the fact that most guns don't make any noise as drawn from a holster as in the movies.
Now a Beretta or something with a thumb safety might, but in general, any gun drawn in a movie/TV show makes a clicking noise.
Also in the movies when someone racks a round on a pump shotgun for dramatic emphasis.
Does that mean they held it at first with a spent round or empty chamber?
The entertainment industry stinks.
Let the writers stay on strike. F 'em.
Anyway, a fun time had by all.
Enough of me.

To their credit, its not the writers. Its the continuity and art people. Whenever its practical (IE: I am not low man on the totem pole trying to tell people what to do) I like to give instruction on proper firearm presentation etc. I showed one actor the other day the proper high hold grip and trigger finger placement.

Tard · 11-11-2007, 10:56 AM

Yeah, please tell them you hold the gun up HIGH on the grip!
Other than constantly pointing the guns at each other, this bugs me the most.

I wish actors who take roles regarding firearms would do some research in the area before they start performing. I do my part to change perception of firearms on whatever set I work on. I have an open offer to any of my co-workers to take them to the range and let them fire one of my three pistols provided they pay the range and ammo costs. (they can fire without a FOID card provided I am present and supervising).

A little saying I heard:

Everyday people wish they were movie producers,
producers wish they were writers,
writers wish they were directors,
directors wish they were actors,
and actors wish they were people.
