It is just a movie.
If I feel the overwhelming need to watch and critique real life, I'll go sit on the street corner.

Didn't Raylan have a Sig in Justified, at least for some of it?Everyone loved "Band of Brothers," yet this one scene (either the episode right before, or the episode in which, they liberated a concentration camp) where a soldier is holding a Government Model 1911 ... with 3-dot sights. Sigh. (Otherwise, I loved that mini-series)\
What I didn't like about "Justified" was the thin belt and off-the-rack Bianchi holster (with thumb-break) that they had Raylan wearing ... Oh, and the Glock thing.
Some things that bother others don't bother me, like in Pearl Harbor they had the ships arranged a bit differently from the actual attack for filming convenience. I had a little trouble with American trainers painted up as Zeros, though.
On the other hand, I really enjoy the few movies that Get It Right.Is your enjoyment of action/war films reduced by your knowledge of firearms?
So you sit down to watch some action adventure or war film... and find yourself noticing all sorts of errors. ...
I'd like to know why Jimmy Stewart turns his rifle on it's side and then snaps it upright onto target in the July Centennial shooting contest to win the 1 of 1000 Winchester "73".
I wonder if it was to level the rifle on the target and a technique some shooters used or just for the movie. It is my favorite part of one of my favorite movies.
Far- fetched shooting of silver dollars thrown in the air too.
Then at the end, they are having a hard time hitting man size targets on a mountain precipice in the final rifle shoot-out.

Well that's just the thing.....when it comes to movies, the facts are always second to the story.....I think some of the errors happen after filming, in post production. I liked Tom Hanks in 'Road to Perdition' but there were gun scenes where a even good movie could not keep you from going, 'huh?'.
As Our Hero is coming down the hallway in the hotel, 1911 at his side, you hear the slide being released... er,what?
I suspect that someone told the Foley crew to punch up the scene.
If you listen close, most of the cocking noises used for other guns are really a Single Action Army.Not at all.
My favorite is cocking the Glock. I can't count how many times I have heard someone an a TV show cock their Glock. I always get a chuckle.
Seconded only by shooting a pistol with the slide locked open. You would thing that somebody that makes thees shows would have actually shot a pistol at least once. Sheesh
