Grip
Anyone notice the unique way Bruce Willis holds his Handguns?
He has his finger over the trigger guard, in all movies from Die Hard to Live Free or Die Hard.
Do you think he's been trained by a professional, and do you think he has a good grip?
- Beretta's 92F and 92FS have the squared trigger guard that allow you to do what he does. I have tried it, but I wasn't use to it. It works for him, he may be an actor but I wouldn't want to get into real gunfight with him. --Predator20 19:59, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- According to IMDB, Willis does own firearms in real life and is a firm supporter of the right to bear arms.
- He is shooting in similar manner than a Eric Grauffel uses. I think Bruce was trained by some good shooters. user:Ripp
Grip Pt.2
As commonly seen with David Caruso of CSI: Miami, Do you think Bruce is left handed but right eye dominant?
He grips with his Left and supports with his Right, and seems to level his Right eye with the Sights.
I do that when I shoot pistols. I'm right handed but I level the sights with my left eye. Haha maybe I've been watching too much Bruce Willis movies
- That's how I shoot pistols too, I'm right handed and I level the sights with my left eye with both eyes open. - Mr. Wolf 19:30, 27 April 2011 (CDT)
i actually noticed that and i think he may be.simmons 8492
Music Videos
Somebody put a credit that Bruce used a Taurus Raging Bull in the Gorillaz - Stylo music video, but I don't think we're adding music videos to the categories. --Ben41 18:06, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
++ That is a fantastic video though, I have a still from it that finely displays the revolver in question. [1] -Kaykay
