Clint Eastwood with M 1 Garand in Gran Torino

[nathan]

The old man gives the rifle another chance tio show its power. Anyone seen the movie? At least this movie will make us feel good in this hard times. LOL

im eagerly waiting for it to get to "theaters everywhere" on the 9th. it looks great

he also uses a 1911 in the film it seems.

 

[Dumptruck]

The movie is great. Probably one of the most quotable movies I've seen.

 

[nathan]

Wheres his .44 magnum S W revolver ? Garand is too powerful in urban setting.

 

[nrgetik]

Very funny Nathan

Great movie

 

[KW]

If it's what you have on hand, 8 rounds of M2 ball are just about perfect.

 

[nathan]

THats about right .

 

[papawman]

The M1's and 1911's have setteled a lot of S**T the world over
Germany and Japan and some others
sure learned to respect them

Looks like another awesome performance by Clint Eastwood. Pretty soon someone is going to have to write a script for an 86 year old badass for him to keep going

Ted's Barbershop

The main reason I want to see this, one of the scenes was shot in a barbershop I go to.

 

[NeoSpud]

ctgmi - and those scenes are quite funny!

I just saw the movie last night; great flick. Clint did an excellent job acting, the characters were well developed and intriguing, and it was a very interesting and well paced story. Plus, it makes me all warm and fuzzy to own an M1.

Awesome movie... After watching the movie I took out my m1 and said "GET OFF MY LAWN"...

The Ruger 10/22 makes more sense considering the urban setting. Besides, the 10/22 is a lot sexier than the M1 Garand.

They made a similar movie where the character DID use a Ruger 10-22 instead.

Called "Ford Pinto"

I know. I chuckle when I see him saying"get off my lawn" in the commercial. It's pretty stereotypical...the old man......shaking his fist......you pesky kids get off my lawn! I mean that in a humorous way. I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan. I'm a big John Wayne fan too, but when Clint goes I think he'll be even more revered than J.W.

IMHO he already is.

 

[Almond27]

Looks awesome can't wait to see it.

 

[The Deer Hunter]

Garand is too powerful in urban setting.

I doubt that he's concerned about over penetration.

"We used to stack f**ks like you five feet high in Korea and use you for sandbags."

I'm sorry, but I just can't wrap my head around that. I guess I'm getting old.

 

[45B@cav]

I hope the 10/22 remark was a joke. I'm going to take it that way anyway because it is just to funny to be serious.

Clint shouldn't make movies with guns. He is an anti gunner.

 

[Gordon]

I know first hand Clint is NOT an anti gunner! Some of his wives are.He is not an avid gun person however.

 

[Ignition Override]

A guy on a totally unrelated forum (which is not about guns) mentioned that his son rode his bike from school in Dallas with a few 'gangbanger' types in a car harassing him.

The guy said that he came out carrying his AR-15 and told the low-lifes that they were not to ever bother his son again.
He seemed to have held their undivided attention.

 

[Onmilo]

In the Trailers I have seen for the movie, the handgun sure looks like a Browning Hi-Power.
