Charles Bronson Movie

[jimmyj]

Hi:
Viewed a 1968 Charles Bronson Movie "Farewell, Friend" on Youtube.
In the first 30 minutes Charles mistreats a Smith and Wesson .45 Revolver (Model 1917 ?) several times by one-hand flipping the cylinder out and in of battery--SHAME on you, Charley !

I knew this was done in older movies--but 1968 and by Charles Bronson ?

c.b., a fellow Lithuanian, was only following the directions of the script, producer and director.

paul kersey knew how to take care of business when evil appeared.

Watching CSI New York last night...

Detective Mac Taylor did this to his J-frame BUG. Yes, he "slammed" his airweight!

I believe it was an airweight.

I was in a gun store and the clerk did this to one of the guns in stock.

I think that this is still done commonly on TV shows, at least the few that still feature revolvers. Sadly, too many people think that what they see in movies and on TV is real.

I watched my brother do that to his 19 a couple years ago. I gently corrected his actions..........

Good way to bend the yoke. But Hollywood doesn't count on accuracy like in real life.
