His weapon manipulation looked OK. See last comment......
His total lack of using cover, up against multiple assailants using subguns- was suicide.
But hey- it’s Hollywood.
i watched the clip again. The opening scene, where's he's hanging out of window being a bigger target and returning fire- it appears his support hand thumb is wrapped around his firing hand thumb, rather than forward/alongside of Dustcover.
Having witnessed this several times, he will have a substantial laceration from the slide ripping into his thumb. Guess it's OK though, he's dead in the next 30 seconds.

A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

Whenever I think of 1911's in movies, Last Man Standing comes to mind. I haven't seen it in a while, though, so I don't remember how accurate it was.
Of course, there are always Sly's lightning fast reloads in The Expendables, as well.

Damn straight. We talked a couple weeks back on here about that scene. It influenced me hugely.
Way of the Gun was enjoyable..but damn, they WASTED so much ammo as to be ridiculous. Just kept on shooting & shooting at nothing most of the time.
I fully understand cover fire, but they just went nuts.

Yep. Saw the thread title and it was my first thought.

That is near biblical, like Walk in the Valley of death stuff
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.

There was one scene in Extreme Prejudice that was fairly decent, particularly for late 80's cinematography:
The rest of the movie was meh.
The frequent error when the 1911 shows up on screen is that the hammer is often visibly at rest rather than cocked. I don't know if the props are rubber-ducks that were molded that way, or if the technical staff is not paying attention.

Deniro's character (Sam, I think) in "Ronin".
