I think he's referring to scenes where they are not aiming at, or hunting down a BG. For instance, in "The Other Guys" with will ferrel, the chief takes his sidearm from him and the whole scene he is holding it with his finger in the trigger guard. No threat, no anticipating having to use it. But finger on the trigger. That does kinda bother me too.AndyC wrote:A common one - any pistol going "Click, click, click" when it's empty - and it's a 1911 or Glock or something which isn't double-action.
Saw that last night halfway through Walking Tall; the cop's girlfriend empties a Glock and it then goes "Click, click, click" as she keeps pulling the trigger. I don't think the slide was even locked back, as an extra faux pas.
How else are you gonna pull a triggerJumping Frog wrote:2. Cops and military characters with fingers in the trigger guards. This one tells me the actor has had no training, hasn't bothered to have been told, and isn't a firearms shooter.
Clarify the issue, please?

Re: What are your movie pet peeves re: guns?
That one doesn't bother me. Who care's what it's called. I was taught mag and the first time I actually heard magazine, i had no idea what it was. I was kid still. But anyway, who cares what you call it. "My bullet holder is empty"Pete92FS wrote:One of my pet peeves is calling a magazine a "clip" as in "my clip's empty".
It's like silencer vs. suppressor. Same thing.
