Two observations:
1) on "one in the pipe vs rack the slide): I am reliably informed that Israeli Special Forces (some of the baddest mike foxtrots on the planet) and Mosaad both practiced racking the slide of their Jerichos (same as U.S. marketed Baby Eagle) even though it is single/double action and works just fine with the hammer down on a loaded chamber. With the de-cocker engaged it is impossible to fire the weapon even if you pull the hammer back by hand and let it go. But ISF and Mosaad did it as a safety measure. Me I carry my Uzi Eagle and my Glock 22 with one in the pipe.
2) on movie accuracy in general: I am into airplanes. Just carry for work and to prepare for SHTF/EOTWAWKI. Hollywood is no better with aircraft than they are with guns. On "Smallville" (ok so I think Erica Durance is super hot) they use a Gulfstream G4 for daytime establishing shots of Green Arrow's corporate jet and a Hawker for the night shots. Completely different aircraft. On "CSI: Miami" recently they reported a G4 inbound from South Africa but showed a quick shot of a Cessna Citation Jet right afterward then followed up with a U.S. REGISTERED (N number on the tail instead of ZS, ZT or ZU ) Citation II taxiing on the tarmac. Anyone with any knowledge of aircraft can spot the differences but Hollywierd can't tell the difference so they don't think anybody can. Why would anyone notice little things like poor gun safety? It's like the myth of Orientals being "inscruitable". I raised an adopted Japanese daughter. Orientals aren't the least bit inscruitable to me. But that is the result of specialized knowledge/experience.
But you would think that their tech advisors would TRY to get them to get it at least in the ballpark of being right.
