The sincerest form of flattery

My Buddy the Gun Enthusiast has done several movie posts over at his place, and I like the format so much I thought I would swipe it for this post.


MAN on FIRE

MSJ Rating: 10 of 10
(It is my favorite.)

John Creasy is a man who has done terrible  things for King and Country, His deeds weight heavy on his soul, and he studies the bible and drinks to try to numb himself.  While visiting Mexico he is persuaded to take a job as the bodyguard of Pita Ramos the daughter of a rich family in Mexico City.

Over time Pita and Creasy bond and they all live happily ever after.

Not even close...

I must confess I am at odds with the imfdb here.  I was sure Creasy started out with a Glock 17L, then switched to a Glock 34 after the target gun had a light primer strike. I also thought their was a model 19 in the mix near the end of the movie.


It is a sticky wicket for me because I went out and bought the 17L cause Denzel is a badass. 
(It's not really a problem, I love the 17L.)  


So which is it?

It doesn't help that the 34 shows up in the seen pictured above so either I am completely wrong or both guns are cut into the seen.

Even more confusing is that it seems to be a 34 slide on a Gen2 frame (as imfdb notes). Strange because the 34 was only made as a Gen3  (now Gen4) gun.


So 17L? or 34? What do you think?
