== Tybalt's "middle finger shooting" == | |||
I've heard that there actually is a use for shooting with your middle finger and not your index finger, and it would make sense with Tybalt's combat style. From what I've heard, it's used when point shooting (ie; not actually aiming down the sights), as it allows you to extend your index finger along the frame of the gun and 'point' at where you want to shoot. Since Tybalt occasionally uses his guns akimbo, and while essentially dancing, this seems like it would actually be a smart move on his part. [[User:Acora|Acora]] 03:29, 3 November 2010 (UTC) | |||
:Shooting with your middle finger would work...if you have six fingers. If you move your hand up a finger and shooting one handed, you would have a poor grip on the gun, you'd have no trigger control because your middle finger would naturally wrap around the gun while the index finger does nothing but "point". And when you have finger off the trigger, as I've tried, you would have a problem holding the gun one handed. Since your middle finger is the longest finger, if you aren't used to it, or in the case of a small trigger guard, getting your middle finger in there is easy, but getting it out would be a chore.

The most profficient and effective stance that a shooter can have will always be the weaver stance. Not thug, and not one handed. | |||
I think this was taught as a method for point shooting in the 1800s/early 1900s (Jack Ruby shot Oswald using this grip). The US Army manual for the 1911 explicitly points out that it shouldn't be done, but only due to the fact that the index finger running along the side of the frame can depress the protruding slide stop pin. The main reason this supposedly works is the pointing thing, but it also has something to do with the fact that as the middle finger is longer you can place the trigger further up the middle finger which makes for an easier trigger pull. The middle finger is also stronger with the tendons more in-line, but I would rather use this strength on the grip. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 02:33, 2 April 2012 (CDT) | |||

Walther P-5C discussion
It's actually a P5C, the compact version, which has a spurred hammer and shorter barrel.
If you look at the third screen of Williem Dafoe in The Boondock Saints you can see the same gold pin clearly visible in the only shot with Claire Danes on this page. - Charly Driver
P-13
.45 double stack commander size with 13 rd magazine
PT99
Looks to me it is indeed a pt99. Note, however, that it has a much longer barrel and slide. Any notes on that?? If you look closer you can see what looks like the original slide covered in an over sized shroud to give it a longer look.
- Yeah, the slide and barrel on Benvolio's PT99 were chopped, and then extended. If you look closely, you can actually see flaws in the quality of the finish that indicate where the slide was cut, welded back together, and then sanded down. -MT2008 23:55, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Tybalt's "middle finger shooting"
I've heard that there actually is a use for shooting with your middle finger and not your index finger, and it would make sense with Tybalt's combat style. From what I've heard, it's used when point shooting (ie; not actually aiming down the sights), as it allows you to extend your index finger along the frame of the gun and 'point' at where you want to shoot.

- Shooting with your middle finger would work...if you have six fingers. If you move your hand up a finger and shooting one handed, you would have a poor grip on the gun, you'd have no trigger control because your middle finger would naturally wrap around the gun while the index finger does nothing but "point". And when you have finger off the trigger, as I've tried, you would have a problem holding the gun one handed.

If you fired a gun like that, your finger would get cut or caught by the retracting slide. The most profficient and effective stance that a shooter can have will always be the weaver stance. Not thug, and not one handed.
I think this was taught as a method for point shooting in the 1800s/early 1900s (Jack Ruby shot Oswald using this grip).
