I especially enjoy it when the main character is up against unbelievable odds and has to overcome them with minimal means. It\u2019s obvious but worth noting again: Movies like these are meant for entertainment and we\u2019re better off not to let Hollywood influence our firearms choices and tactics. With that, as much as I enjoy movies like these, here are my top five Hollywood gun handling awards.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Holsterless Carry Award: Jason Bourne<\/h2>\n<p>Besides the fact that David Webb can\u2019t seem to remember who he really is, Bourne also seems determined never to carry a handgun in a proper holster. I\u2019ve seen him tuck handguns in jacket pockets, in backpacks, inside the waistband (appendix) and inside the waistband (small of back). Of course, the way he acquires most of his guns doesn\u2019t really afford the opportunity to get a proper holster, so I can cut him a bit of a break for that.<\/p>\n<p>But, in a couple instances, he picks up a handgun from some vault or locker, along with his famous watch, multiple passports and currency from a dozen different countries. I don\u2019t see why there can\u2019t be a simple but decent IWB holster in there. Or even some kind of universal holster. Side note: Bourne should also get some kind of award for dismantling handguns or throwing them in garbage cans.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Weakest Caliber Award: James Bond<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing inherently wrong with a .32 or .380 caliber pistol for self-defense, especially if that\u2019s the one you shoot the best and will actually carry with you. But a British spy ought to be able to upgrade to at least a 9mm. In one of the older 007 books, Bond said he preferred the Walther PPK because it fit best and hid easily when he was wearing a suit or tuxedo, which of course he always was.<\/p>\n<p>Modern Bonds especially should make use of the greater ballistics afforded by a larger, modern caliber as well as all the innovative means of concealed carry available today. Moreover, as good as shoulder holster carry might appear in movies, it can be limiting if you\u2019re wearing a European-cut suit jacket. Unless you\u2019re James Bond, of course.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Heaviest Gun Award: Dirty Harry<\/h2>\n<p>The iconic S&amp;W Modle 29 revolver and the associated .44 Magnum cartridge indeed is a very powerful round, punk. And the only way a gun handles that type of round is by being built of steel. And lots of it. Over 40 ounces worth. By comparison, most of today\u2019s concealed carry guns weigh less than half of that. So, it\u2019s a wonder how Dirty Harry got around without some horrible lurching motion impeding his progress.<\/p>\n<p>And, where James Bond preferred the slim Walther PPK for his shoulder holster, Dirty Harry managed to carry that giant revolver in a shoulder holster. Of course, Harry would have worn a suit jacket with American tailoring, so maybe it had some extra room\u2026 Have any of you packed a full-size revolver as a concealed carry piece? If so, how? Did you feel lucky, punk?<\/p>\n<h2>4. Why Even Bother With a Handgun Award: Jack Reacher<\/h2>\n<p>Reacher is one of my favorite movie characters and seems the most real of this bunch. Lee Child\u2019s character is careful, detailed, tough as nails and likes coffee. He\u2019s a former Army MP who knows guns and how to use them. Plenty of guns \u2014 handguns, rifles and shotguns \u2014 appear in the books and movies, sometimes in Reacher\u2019s hands, but he seems to be without a handgun just as often, if not more often, than with one.<\/p>\n<p>But Reacher \u2014 similar to Bourne \u2014 is also a master at using objects around him as weapons or simply using his own hands and strength to handle certain situations. In the movies, he seems to have more guns pointed at him but always manages to make some kind of escape. Side note: I could give Bourne this award and switch Reacher to the holster-less carry award. Thoughts?<\/p>\n<h2>5. Most Handguns Carried at Once Award: John Wick<\/h2>\n<p>And not only does he carry multiple handguns and reloads \u2014 concealed \u2014 he does so while very well dressed. And then he draws and uses them in multiple scenarios while doing his tactical business. It\u2019s an impressive array of weaponry, right down to the Glock 26 carried in the small of his back. It\u2019s not the number of guns that\u2019s most impressive but the number of magazines to support such an arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine carrying two full-size duty pistols and a backup pistol. To do Wick\u2019s work, you\u2019ll want at least two reloads per gun, so that\u2019s six magazines not only to store on your person but also to keep organized. Amazing. Anybody know how many guns and magazines constituted Wick\u2019s load-up?<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks for reading this article. It\u2019s meant just for fun and could have been titled \u201cMovie Characters Not to Emulate (Except When They\u2019re Doing Things Right).\u201d Seriously, when it comes to gun handling, don\u2019t take many cues from Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, seek out the professional and informed opinions of law enforcement training officers and certified self-defense trainers. Enjoy the movies though, and be on the lookout for the good, bad and ugly of movie gun handling. Unfortunately, there are probably many more \u201cawards\u201d that could be given out.<\/p>\n<p><em>Discover how you can join more than 200,000 responsibly armed Americans who already rely on the USCCA to protect their families, futures and freedoms: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscca.com\/GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"USCCATop5\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">USCCA.com\/gunsamerica<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s obvious but worth noting again: Movies like these are meant for entertainment and we\u2019re better off not to let Hollywood influence our firearms choices and tactics. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":82852,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,234,340,216],"tags":[132,586,626,544],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-82851","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-columns","9":"category-columns-ccw-edc","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-column","13":"tag-opinion","14":"tag-top-5"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Top Five Hollywood Gun Handling Awards<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Movies like these are meant for entertainment and we\u2019re better off not to let Hollywood influence our firearms choices and tactics.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/top-five-hollywood-gun-handling-awards\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Top Five Hollywood Gun Handling Awards\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"It\u2019s obvious but worth noting again: Movies like these are meant for entertainment and we\u2019re better off not to let Hollywood influence our firearms choices and tactics.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/top-five-hollywood-gun-handling-awards\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-11-28T20:57:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-10-06T16:39:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/john-wick-2-guns.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"675\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
