A little tid bit about J Wayne and this movie:
Wayne turned down Dirty Harry and was very jealous of the huge success it was for Eastwood and as a movie. So he tried tried to copycat it and failed.
Bullets lose there momentum in water very quickly.No holes in the back of the trashcan....
Better?...That’s a Bren Ten he’s holding in the photo, not a Smith. Yeah I know the Smith came along in Season 2 or 3 (? ). Just saying that the 2 pics don’t match.
The Beretta M9/92F was adopted by the service in the mid-80s, but during my time in the Corps (88-92), I never touched one. While I wouldn’t mind owning one, I still have yet to fire one.
One of the sweetest pistols I ever held was a Sig 226.

I thought it was a pretty good movie. Still watch it occasionally on DVD. And the 1973 Trans Am was really cool!
I agree, I was just saying that it was not near the success of Dirty Harry. And Eastwood was becoming more popular than JW as well.
I agree with that as I have several 226's in my collection as well. Personally I would rate it at #2 after my #1 selection of the Beretta 92FS/M9.
IIRC the Beretta only won the trials because the magazines were cheaper the both the Sigg 226 & H&K's offering. Then there was something about Beretta slides cracking too.They are both on the list.
