Watch that D$%%M Muzzle!!!
Am now watching the "Pistols" episode of "Lock & Load." (It's Laundry Day--a lot of up & down and in & out, and then sit and wait while the machine finishes.)
Am 1/2 way through, maybe--The Gunny has just introduced and kissed the 1911. (I'm with him on that, BTW!) One technical quibble: They now have 8-round magazines for the 1911, plus 1 in the chamber, makes a max of 9 rounds, not 7, for this weapon. Oh, and there are 10-round magazines, also. (Since the 1911 has a half-cock, plus a grip safety, it's quite safe to carry it with a round chambered, BTW.)
An entertaining and informative show, as have all the rest been. HOWEVER, and this is a BIG "however," I was appalled at the number of times R. Lee Ermey deliberately pointed a pistol at me, the viewer. An absolutely terrible example of muzzle discipline. Lost count of the number of times he's done it so far--it is obviously deliberate, and please don't tell me that it's just Hollywood--a former U. S. Marine Drill Instructor simply oughta know better, and insist on being a better safety example.
Sorry, there is just no excuse for that. None.
