Because you’ve always wanted to light a match in your den with a revolver…

  1. It’s the first known behind the scenes segment for a movie! (Okay, maybe not – but it’s the oldest I’ve seen)… How cool.

    Firearm knowledge has come a long way since then, but still – pretty cool.

  2. I love old gun stuff like that. Reminds me of going to the library when I was a kid and reading some old gun books with the pictures in black and white.

  3. ………But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your can lid clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

  4. sigh…. finger on trigger while cocking the .44 and just about every othergun.

  5. Wow! Even then, aficionados had drawers full of unused holsters!

    I guess the more things change, the more things say the same!

    😉

  6. About the only thing that’s changed in 40+ years is that back then you had to do up a proper film and today you’d slap it together and post it to YouTube.

    Does go to show it didn’t take much to be a gun expert in England back then.

  7. The thing that strikes me is that all of the guns in that film have most likely been melted or destroyed in some other way. I’m sure that old fellow felt “It could never happen here” just like many of us here in the US.

  8. I’m pretty sure the “match” bit was a spring-loaded pellet gun.

    That said, that was one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time!

  9. “makes a jolly good can opener”

    Somehow I cant imagine dirty harry using this line . . .
