That is, he didn't check to see if it was loaded, wrapped his finger around the trigger, and flags Walt with the muzzle.
Colt M1911
Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) uses a pre-war commercial M1911 (as evidenced by the blue finish) that he kept from the Korean War to aim at the "Spooks" to scare them away from Thao's sister Sue Lor (Ahney Her), and is seen carrying it around in many scenes. Walt carries it around in his belt without a holster.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingMartin teaches Thao that when you greet someone as a "old Italian prick", you're liable to get your head blown off. He does it again anyways.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWalt grabs the Remington 870 shotgun as Martin points it at Thao. Note the lack of trigger discipline. Although, considering the lack of focus, it is possible that he has his finger resting on the trigger gaurd.
