    Keanu Reeves can actually shoot in the real world

    I had no idea Keanu Reeves could actually run guns for real. His firearms handling is not too shabby in this video of him in a 3-gun set-up. Not too many other actors would be able to pull this off.

    I'm actually kind of impressed.

    That's pretty cool. I didn't know that about him.
    Which reminds me, Sammy Davis Jr. was a fast draw artist, as was Jerry Lewis (very fast) and Robert Culp.
    I also remember reading, in a review many years ago, that it was Jerry Lewis that taught Dustin Hoffman to fast draw for the film, Little Big Man.

    IF that is really him and he's that good, I would be seriously surprised if he was.

    Sure looks like him. The video was uploaded by Taran Tactical

    It's possible this is or was training for one of his movies or he might just be a gun guy.

    He is fast and good. That is more than just training for a movie.
    He is holstering that pistol like he knows what he is doing.

    He is also a really nice guy. I met him in NYC last march. Talked with him and shook his hand. He posed for a selfie with me as well.

    I have heard that the movie crews love him, he works very hard and is also very humble. He gave the special effects crew from the matrix movies a ton of his money from the movies because he didn't think they got paid enough. He is also known to give up his seat for women and the elderly when he rides the subway.

    For John Wick he spent something like 4 months learning to shoot and fight so the actions were natural and he could improvise. The guys training him said he put in 8 and 10 hours days 5 days a week learning those skills.

    Found the video

    Yep, the buzz all around here is that he's a genuine GOOD GUY and nice and humble. Quite a contrast to douches like KANYE and yet the liberal media LOVES Kanye.....

    I used to rabbit hunt with an older guy who always carried a single shot shotgun. In his front hand, he would always have two shells inserted between his fingers. When the shot, he loaded those 2nd and 3rd shells almost almost in a blur. His single shot sounded more like a pump shotgun than a single shot shotgun. I was in awe watching him shoot. I've never been able to come anywhere close to what he could do.

    i know a few guys that are like a machine when it comes to double barrels and over/under guns. Nothing to have them shoot 4 shots vs your 4 shots out of a pump.

    They just had the winter range SASS shooters at Ben Avery last week, there were folks shooting double barrels that would flip the action open, hulls would eject over their shoulder, reload, and fire again before the hulls hit the ground
