New Bruce Willis Deathwish movie

[Guy B. Meredith]

Just saw the movie and have some bones to pick. Willis' character is shooting a Glock 19 (?) left handed and supposedly the slide cuts the web of his hand. I do not handle Glocks, but on other semi autos the injury comes on the supporting hand when it is wrapped too high around the back of the trigger hand. Am I in need of education?

No, but you probably need to relax and watch the movie. Sure it wasn't a Glock 7?

See Ken Hackathorn's comments on the Grip Force Adapter in this Glock Modifications video along with Larry Vickers and Dave Harrington (about the 2:20 mark)

Full size glocks rip my shooting hand open at the knuckle joint of the hand and thumb. It’s that stupid divot with the raised edges.

Especially people that go into Glocks after shooting high grip or thumb over safety grip on 1911s often end up getting slide bite with Glocks.

No idea. Except for my Ruger MK512 in .22, semi autos all look the same to me. I do believe the police detective referred to it as a 19.

The "Glock 7" comment is a little humor reference from Bruce Willis's "Die Hard 2" movie.

Hint, there never was a Glock 7.

As a very academic Germanic friend once said "Aha! Now I grasp the gravity of the situation." He wasn't talking the Glock 7 joke but rather why a cute gal had given him an evil look for something he said. But that's okay. Applies equally.

Now I'm confused. Are you back to talking about "Deathwish" or the Glock 7 reference from "Die Hard 2"?

 

[Guy B. Meredith]

Sorry, to the Glock 7 reference. I'll edit.

Generally, anything in relation to firearms in a movie has very little relation to reality. However, this in the movie will have keyboard kommandos spouting this as a fact forever.

whatever! I saw it in a movie!

It is 100% undetectable, too.

Saw the movie yesterday and it could bite you if your a newbie AND never fired under stress.

But losing the gun is unlikely,just a bit of skin [ been 'bit' a few times as a young shooter ].

And why the did not find any DNA at the scene is just Hollywood ,being Hollywood.

All in all,I loved the movie as I am a fan of Willis and most all that he has done.

At least as good as Bronson,and his face that never changed expressions.

Hope there is a at least one more followup.

Is there at least some kind of ridiculous handgun involved, a Desert Eagle, even?

DW sans mustache & automag just isn't DW

Hollywood isn't accurate. Enjoy the film for what it is, absurd fantasy.

Folks want to watch a virulent anti-gun Bruce? Have at it, I'll pass like I did on the NFL, NBA, Oscars and Olympics.........what he uses is made-up Hollywood fantasy stuff from the special effects group.....

 

[Old Dog]

Folks want to watch a virulent anti-gun Bruce? .

What? I'd been told Willis was in fact a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, a gun owner and a shooter ...

He is. It appears that the internet is as accurate as how movies portray guns. I for one am still looking for the magical silencer that goes fwip fwip fwip

 

[CaptHank]

You think that is stretching reality. Check out the movie, "Killers", with Lee Marvin. They screw a can on a revolver that is the size of a beer can. Same sound....!!!!

 

[Nature Boy]

It's more of a "thwip"

You must have him confused with Liam Neeson...

 

[tarosean]

Never even heard of the movie... That said, are you asking if slide bite is a reality?

My bone to pick is what occurs in Kersey's basement at the very end. He had bought some legal Cook Co. IL guns, and when he is about to get greased by the last mutt....he hits the button on the hide-a-gun coffee table and pulls out a full auto AR.....
