Does Clint hold gun right?

[calnovice]

Can anyone comment how he holds his gun?

Haven't taken my formal training yet till I can budget for a class. However, after watching over past month a few dozen expert videos on Ytube I find none agrees with this posture. Specifically, looks to me like his finger joint on the trigger - and not using (as videos say) the middle of the finger tip. And his thumb curled down - not (as videos say) straight under barrel.

If you all find Clint just right, then maybe I should stop watching those videos.

It's Hollywood. Fantasy not real life.

Sorry, it's a trade secret.




You do realize, that is a .44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, blow a man's head clean off, right?
Gotta grip that SOB like a real man

What were the thoughts on how to pull a trigger in 1971?

Thumb straight under the barrel is, IMO, a better grip for semi auto pistols. The thumb curls downward on a revolver will prevent your thumb from getting jammed again the protrusion behind the cylinder.

JMHO

That was pretty much the style back then, as was the "grab the wrist"style for 2-handed shooting that he used in other scenes.

You'll win no friends trying to badmouth Harry Callahan.

Do you feel lucky, well do ya punk?

Glad I asked! Your answers put my mind at rest.

I think I got it now. Not wrong way he holds, just a different gun (really big), and a different time.

TV/ Film is a fun medium...

If you get a good cheek weld, then the actor looks funny as their cheek is squeezed up... so they shoot rifles without a check weld....

what looks good on film is rarely what works on the range

You need to upload your pictures to a hosting service and then you can post to your listing so that they show without the click

Left eye dominant maybe?

[MJB]

Yes he is a lefty

[Tri750]

He's Clint.
Duddunt matter.
He gets a pass on everything. Even falling for that what's her name, Sondra Locke.
Yuk.

That's a correct hold for shooting scumbags.
When you're at the range; then you have time for thumbs forward, and finger-pad target shooting.
