Pinguino: Tea-cupping two handed grip on 1911
As STILL seen in movies today and 1960's cop shows.. Scary stuff.
That and gripping the firing hand wrist is also making a comeback in movies - God knows why!

And in contrast to what the movies would have us believe, with a calibre of .32 ACP, blowback, and 850 rounds/min, I doubt that it would a: go through a car door at 50+ metres, and b: fire three or four bursts without changing mags.......

All those rounds, and no accuracy LOL
Bigger the hole the better.
Two holes are better than one and so on...
First shot hits matter 
Funny how ALL movie rounds never go through doors, car windscreens or cushions, tables etc etc...and rifles / pistols etc still go click click when empty and on slidelock.
And people NEVER pick up spare mags from the dead guy. Even Bond got his Walther and NO spare mags...

Watched an episode of NCIS last night and one of the agents hid behind a plasterboard wall which stopped the bullets from a 9mm machine pistol at a distance of 5 yds.
Better than a police officer hiding behind a car door that is stopping a .308 bullet going through it.
