“...people love to cock for dramatic effect.”
I’ve noticed Hollywood is big on having actors cock Glocks.
“I’ve noticed Hollywood is big on having actors cock Glocks.”
From the amount of Glock cocking you see in the movies, Israeli carry is apparently very popular. I’ve also noticed that very frequently the Foley guy thinks the slide needs to be racked even when the actor doesn’t move his hand off the grip.
Hollywood loves to do all those things especially rack the pump shotgun for dramatic effect.
I notice it is almost always in a situation where the protagonists would always have a round already chambered for some time. A good example is the bad guys are holding someone at gunpoint. Clearly they would always have a round in the chamber and the hammer cocked.
BTW, I have read somewhere that 9mm is much easier to use some sort of propane device to work the slide and make it appear the gun is firing. That is the reason they use a Star model B instead of a M1911.
It looks like a .45 but is chambered in 9mm. The external extractor is the giveaway. Of course they could just use a 9mm Colt but they must be fairly rare. I once had one.
If someone gets in their way is it called a “Glock cockblock”?
