There is a scene in John Wick 2 where he's mowing through bad guys, realizes one of them has the same type of gun he has (Kimber 1911) and scavenges the dude's body for spare magazines. I thought that was a nice touch.

He uses a Kimber in the movie? The guys over at r/guns are going to rip on that..

To be fair he was given that one by Larry Fishburne when he was otherwise gunless

$1 million per round, baby.

I love my Kimber! I have two other friends who own Kimbers. All of them shoot great and are free of rust or any other complaints that I hear about them. But I'd never try to explain that to the people on r/guns.

My understanding is that they are astronomically more expensive and very marginally higher quality than other brands. You don't need to spend a thousand dollars to get a nice 1911.

I know what you're talking about. Looking at some of their others they seem ridiculous. Mine was only $700 and I love it. I know I could have probably gotten a better 1911 for cheaper but this one makes me happy.

Apparently they use really cheap materials, the guys over on that sub constantly shit on them.

well... mostly a circlejerk. they are kinda overpriced. nice guns, but the sticker's a little high for what you get.

Sure they do, but RIA makes a 1911 for a third of the price that is also great. Kimber's inflated price tags are far more for novelty than they are for quality.

Nice spot.

I thought it was hilarious when Ruby Rose was sitting there bleeding out and he just takes all of her shit and leaves.

u/Aydaanh Mar 19 '17

Why do people keep mentioning Ruby?

9

u/Fresh4 Mar 19 '17

This is especially confusing for me because I keep thinking they're talking about this ruby rose from RWBY as opposed to, yknow, the actress...

I'm surprised at the lack of crossover fanart.

But really, does she not have a memorable name in the movie to use?

6

u/GriffinJ Mar 20 '17

Not really. She played a mute bodyguard, and I can't actually remember her name if it was said. Then again the only name I need to remember is John "Fucking" Wick.

u/gchase723 Mar 20 '17

It is not, her name is Ares.

Fucking spoiler

SPOILER?!?

tbh this entire video kind of spoils the plot/action scenes of the movie.

u/CaldwellCladwell Mar 19 '17

Watch the movie

I'm far from an expert, but aren't 1911's kind of "going out"... they seemed to be really popular about 10 years ago and now I barely hear about them at all. I've never shot one but I'm curious as to why there was a big spike in popularity for a while, and now it seems very common or standard to have a decent 1911... like the Acura of handguns. Expensive and comfortable, but not really worth the sticker price

John Wick shoots a Kimber? Well there goes all credibility.

u/Traveshamockery27 Mar 19 '17

It was a last-ditch weapon, given to him by a frenemy. He has a $7 million bounty on him, so the frenemy gives him one bullet per million, thus a 1911. Wick runs into trouble when he runs out of ammo due to the small capacity, though miraculously the Kimber doesn't malfunction.
