Pacino's holster in the Movie Heat

[iedjraf]

Does anyone know what make was the holster that Al Pacino wore in the Michael Mann movie "Heat" in 1995? It was a black leather holster--yaqui-style (open top and open bottom). It was a paddle holster and the paddle portion was also made of leather lined with suede. It also had a leather strap with a snap next to the paddle so it could also be secured on the belt for added retention. Pacino wore it cross-draw in the movie.

Thanks.

I don't know the brand of the holster but the gun is a Colt Officer's ACP.... & you're correct that he wore it cross-draw.

The internet movie firearms database shows the gun, no good shots of the holster.
Keep in mind that an actor will generally not be wearing a concealed prop gun in every scene, movie holsters don't have to conceal effectively.

Exactly!

I love that movie. The scene with the money exchange where Val Kilmer takes that guy out with the g3 was awesome

I'm pretty sure those guns are blank converted though.

G3 or HK91?

We're talking about Heat and nobody has mentioned the shootout after 8 posts?

I will!

One of the weapons I really liked in the movie was Al Pacino's FN FNC rifle.

There is a video on Youtube where they talk to the weapons trainer and he states (and they show) that all of the actors practiced for several months on a range with live ammo perfecting each scene over and over and then they went downtown and filmed them with blanks. I believe he said filming was completed in only a couple of days downtown. I really liked Kilmer's M 16 magazine change. Michael Mann is a perfectionist when it comes to weapons and film. All of the actors said that it was extremely grueling working on the range until Mann was satisfied.

All of the actors said that it was extremely grueling working on the range until Mann was satisfied.

I wonder how many on THR would say the same thing?

I can personally testify that spending many hours ROing, running matches, building stage props, resetting steel, pasting targets, and cleaning up on a range in the summer time is "grueling". Of course that never stopped me. At the end of the day you were ready to go home and take a long shower. And spend the next week reloading 1000 rounds so you could go back next weekend and do it all over again. What fun!

Val Kimar used a HK91

Heat is an absolute masterpiece. It is unfortunate that most other movie can't even begin to approach the level of authenticity that Mann demands. Things as simple as well executed, timely reloads make all the difference in the world.

I am sure I am not alone here, but my enjoyment of a movie is totally ruined if I even notice one problem with a bottomless mag, or the slide that locks on every shot. Unfortunately, usually after you notice one problem, you usually notice a lot more before the end of the movie.

Mann is one of the few filmmakers who seems to care about such things. Do the others just think we are too stupid to notice? Or are they just too stupid to notice?
