Night Gunslinger.

Fury is stacked on top of Lucy here. Went to see Lucy in the theater with the offspring. A lot of disbelief to suspend, but just let it flow and enjoy.

[Sylvain]

Lucy looks interesting.

It's a French movie.

Saving Private Ryan was one of the most realistic WWII flicks I have ever seen. Is Fury as good...Better???

I thought Private Ryan was better. Fury has some awesome action scenes, but the story line is better in Ryan.

Wonder if it in on demand yet

Fury is on att uverse on demand. I watched it in the theatre and on uverse when It was released. I like it. Very accurate from my research of WWII.

On that note:
Something interesting I found with the chrome 1943 remington rand 191A1.
crudely engraved inside the trigger well (yes inside) is
"KICH
VIETNAM"
So was this gun a Vietnam bringback that the guy had chromed to carry as a civilian or to frame? I doubt if I'll ever fun any info but it's interesting none the less. Was it common for Vietnam vets who brought back a 1911 to chrome their service weapons as civilians? Any help would be appreciated.

hell it could have even been engravd before it was plated

As a movie yes, but fury was based on true events

I spotted a few inaccurate things last time I watched it.

 

[Trigger Time]

They did a good job of saving Ryan's privates though

Can soldiers even keep their issued gun once they leave the military?

I love how your jokes are always about the same area.

Most likely engraved before chrome. My uncles both carried 1911's in the Nam. They both carried wooden Battle rifles most of the conflict until forced into the black rifles.

Could have come back from the Nam and was sold off or passed down through the family. The mid 70's it was cool to chrome so that sounds about right.

Yes. If they are slick many handguns came home.
