Top Shot is a gameshow where 16 Marksmen are put to the test with Historical Firearms, Pistols, Bows and Arrows, and even SlingShots. In pursuit of the $100,000 grand prize.
Pistols
Used in Episode 1 for the voting event.
Beretta 92FS 9x19mm versus the 92F below. Notice how the 92F has a more reflective grip than the 92FS.
Beretta 92FS used in during the voting event in the first episode. Note both the slide markings, identifying it as a civilian 92 and not the military version, and the non-reflective grip identifying it as a 92FS.
Frank shooting the Beretta 92FS. Notice both how he's a lefty, and how he uses the old "stacked thumbs" grip. He also manages to keep both his eyes open. Seeing as he was trained as S.W.A.T. during the 70s and 80s, all of this makes sense.
Bill using the "overlapping thumbs" grip. Notice hammer almost dropped on the firing pin.
Mike using the "thumbs forward" grip. This is considered to be the most modern technique, achieving maximum recoil control. Note
Colby Donaldson in the background who does a good job of hosting the show, without filling it with stupid statements about firearms and their usage.
Episode 2: Zipline of Fire: This was practically the only gun used in the entire epsisode. It was used in the elimination challenge, voting, and the actual challenge.
