This movie's title

It is "The Way of the Gun". For one, IMFDB matches the official title as seen on IMDB. Another, the "The" in the graphic logo is seen at the TOP of the "W". For future reference and to keep anyone from changing the page title..


M1911

The page says they use combat government model 1911s but they don't seem to have any of the features of the combat model and on the bluray you can see the rollmark on the slide and it only says colt government model.

I picked this up on Blu-ray. Can't cap Blu-ray though. When Parker holds his 1911 on Longbaugh outside motel you can see the MK IV Series 70 9mm Luger rollmarks on the slide. I have only seen "Combat Governments" in non Series 70 rollmarks or in MK IV Series 80. --Predator20 18:03, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Non series 70 rollmark Combat Government. These came out in the early 80s, very few in these rollmarks.

Series 80 Combat Government

Series 80 Combat Government, most you'll see will be in this style. Non combat ones would just say Government Model.

Galil

When I watched this, I thought Benicio's character fired his Galil on full-auto in the brothel sequence. He empties like, two full mags into the walls alone. Or was he just fast firing on semi-auto?

It's either he's firing it on SA or the gun has a ridiculously slow ROF. Edit: just watched the scene: Benecio in fact pulls the trigger for each and every shot. But, the effects seem to almost double the amount of shots made. Same goes for Ryan's 870. He lets off three rounds in the same room that Benecio empties two mags as fast as any auto-loader would with his pump.

He's firing FAST on semi auto. It's not that hard. I can fire as fast or faster with a semi auto rifle. Also remember that blank adapted autoloaders don't usually slam all the way back into the receiver. It was described as 'almost short stroking it but just enough to kick out the round and put in the next one'. Also blanks have nearly ZERO kick (a little from the gas but that's almost nil) and you can fire REALLY FAST with a blank firing semi auto rifle. MoviePropMaster2008 15:16, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
I would have loved to have saw more of the Galil in the final shootout. Should have brought more than two mags or at least spare ammo. But I guess they wanted to even the fight up. Even though Parker and Longbaugh were greatly outnumbered. --Predator20 18:03, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Revolvers

In the scene in which one of Joe Sarno's veteran enforcers contemplates suicide he is shown playing Russian roulette with half a dozen different revolvers. I think one of the weapons was a Charter Arms model and one may have been a Ruger SP101 however if someone could provide a more precise identification it would be appreciated. -Anonymous

I'm pretty sure the two revolvers used by the Mexican police officers are S&W Model 10s.

Holsters

Does anyone have an idea what holsters The two protagonists use? I actually really like them and was hoping to get a lead on where to get ones like that.

The holsters they use are milt sparks summer special. Website www.miltsparks.com. They are really well built and comfortable.

Good veiw of the IWB holster used by Longbaugh, Parker also uses one.

Yeah they are Milt Sparks or copies made Galco or another mass produced holster maker. --Predator20 17:46, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

No they are Galco Royal Guard RG212 and not Milt Sparks Summer Specials.

Thanks, folks. I'm gonna give one of these a try for CCW.

Mr. Parker and Longbough

Does anyone think that the two main characters portrayed in the movie seem to be too discplined for being normal criminals? Are there criminals in real life who actually have extensive firearms training? Cause most gangsters and criminals that I've come across have shitty trigger discipline and use the stereotypical "gangster" sideways hold with their weapons. And yes I know this is just a movie but I'm just curious. -- Choi117
