#9  From Wikipedia
The side grip has been portrayed in movies since at least the 1960s, notably in the westerns One-Eyed Jacks (1961) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).[1] The style's cinematic benefit is that it makes it easier to see both the weapon and the actor's face in a tight camera shot.[1]

The side grip was highly popularized with the 1993 American hood film, Menace II Society, where this technique is shown in the film's opening scene during the armed robbery of a Los Angeles, California convenience store.[4][1]

On a different, but related note, I wonder what effect the shutdown has had in terms of illegal drug supply chains?

#4  I always wondered if bangers would have a problem if they learned the sideways pistol thing is something the Israeli military thought up to help women and young kids rack a slide.

Chicago, Libya and Yautja Prime. It's as if nothing else matters to these places.
