I simply do not see why a real gun with live ammo should ever be on a movie set. Post production and CGI should suffice.
Again, no argument. Makes total sense to me.
Also makes me wonder what all those magicians use when they perform the "catch a bullet in the teeth" trick.

For the most part - very few people pick up on the inaccuracies of guns in films.
Most can' t tell a Colt Army single from a Ruger Blackhawk - and it does nothing to the story line.
Only someone like me that can tell the make, model and generation at a glance does it make a difference.
And it' s sort of fun picking out the ones they get wrong.
Worst offender - Dead in Tombstone - and I think Danny Trejo is awesome..... I kind of wonder if they did some of it on purpose?
OK, since you mentioned this, I have a question for anyone. I have noticed that most times you see someone handling a handgun (just handguns for this particular issue) in a film, it rattles a lot when they move it around, even slightly. I own a Colt semi-automatic and it makes no sound whatsoever when I move it unless I shake it really hard (mag/chamber empty of course). I've also done this with a couple of pistols my father owns, both revolvers, and they make very little sound. But whenever you see someone on TV or a movie move a pistol even an inch, it sounds like a tin can full of rocks. Why do they do this?
I don't know what to argue considering the decades I have debated firearms other than to say that they are dangerous.
