Raylan: "You Have a Gun in Your Hand" | Justified (Timothy Olyphant)

[@MrRayMac1963]

Much as I love watching Raylan draw down on someone, I equally enjoy him talking them down. Such a great show.

[@_CapnYesterday_]

Believe it or not, I actually like the talking down more. It enhances Raylan's character far more. Draw downs are still fun, tho.

[@dlj2443]

SPOILER ALERT Re: City Primeval. It's funny...I always *thought* I agreed with you@@_CapnYesterday_. But then I had the displeasure of watching CP, which had exactly zero actual draw downs. Since most of the other tried-and-true Raylan "classics" were there, like his letting "little Raylan" make colossally stupid decisions, being a "lousy marshal, but a good lawman," and taking on an antagonist with several horseshoes, rabbit's feet, and four-leaf clovers up his butt, I absolutely missed the frequent gunplay.

[@craignixon450]

This was my favourite show. You dont get too many gun-slingers in the UK lol. At least not ones with romantic reasons like in this episode. But either way it went down, Timothy/Raylan would do it in an entertaining way. I need to binge watch all of these again :) All the best!

[@danieldickson8591]

Most of the time Raylan prefers not to shoot people. You have to pose a real threat to him, or make him really really angry, to get him to draw down. I think he makes a conscious choice to try to be better than the crooks he goes after. In this scene he recognizes that this guy is not evil at heart.

A great psychological head game going on which Raylan knew exactly how to play. The turn and walk away said it all about how confident he was with their "talk."

Raylan recognized that this guy wasn't bad at heart, just in over his head.

[@josephnoneofyourbeeswax8517]

The look Raylan gives at the end of this video is some of Timothy Oliphant's best acting. What guy has not felt that?

[@DwindleDwellandDwarf]

I think one thing that this show does really well is not just paint all of the characters as either good or bad, but rather paints them as people who are reacting with their life experiences. Like Raylan is like actually having an honest and vulnerable discussion with this guy. Not talking down to him, not acting morally superior. Because he is being real with this guy, I think it gives him a chance to see everything else in a new perspective. Raylan does this a lot from what I have seen.

[@kaypoots9709]

I was a huge fan of this show during its original run but haven’t watched it since until about a week ago when I re-watched Season One. It reminded me of everything I loved about Justified and in particular the brilliant performance of Timothy Olyyphant. Absolutely an all-time favorite for me.

[@blueeyedcowboy8291]

Raylan is the coolest mf'ing character ever. Super Calm and Super Angry at the same time.

He covered up Wynona's crime and because of that, Someone stole money from evidence.

[@amrateeka]

Yeah, it's kind of sad. He longs to be with Winona and she left him and married the dopey realtor who has the big house. But as with all things, their love is too strong to keep them apart.

[@johnson1010YT]

Such a great show. Also, I'm glad they are including Buster. It's good for him to get outta the house.

[@MrGsteele]

He had a 1911 in his hand, hammer down. A 1911 is a single action pistol. IF he had a round chambered, he'd have to "six-gun" it - pull the hammer back and then fire. If he didn't, he'd have to cycle the slide using his other hand, then fire. In either case, Raylan would have prepped him for the coroner before his hammer fell. A gun in the hand is just metal - like a hammer - without being readied.

[@PavewayJDAM]

Raylan is a master a verbal judo more so than gun-fighting

[@di2615]

It's probably true that he isn't homeless, however he is certainly, indubitably, mentally touched.

[@stevenguy7363]

Dude was never gonna get a shot off on a single action 1911 with the hammer down

[@WolfRamAndHart]

It's interesting that Raylan talks him down, by "downplaying" his deadshot abilities from Glencoe. He did that as well, with the "gardener" in a different episode by fake "drawing" to show him how fast he could be. Except for Boon in the last episode, there wasn't really anyone in a fair one on one who was a major challenge.

[@mshahnazi7636]

Grew up watching McCloud in the early 1970s which is parallel to this show but in reverse. While Raylan was working in a big city (Miami) and then was transferred to his roots in Kentucky, Marshal McCloud moved from his root in Taos, New Mexico to the big City in New York City working with NYPD. McCloud in comparison to Justified was less violent or edgy, however both shows had great writing contrasting Country vs City justice. Loved both shows with two ‘COOL’ Cowboys.

[@svyt]

OH man - wasn't that the NBC Mystery Movie? Rotated each week - McCloud, Columbo, and McMillan and Wife. Damn, that was a thing of its time - and of my childhood.

[@deadhorse1391]

The 1911 wasn’t even cocked

[@waynecoulter6761]

When he had the gun in his hand talking to Raylan, Raylan was never safer. The hammer was fully down on an empty chamber. Dude would have had to rack the slide to put a round in the chamber before he could fire. The M1911 is NOT a double action firearm and needs to have the slide racked to even put a round in the chamber and cock the hammer such as he did when he had the weapon pointed at dude on the couch...

I've never been in law enforcement, BUT I can't see a scenario where an officer, deputy, or Marshall turns his back to someone he believes may have a weapon. Even if, as in Raylan's situation here, he's not ready to make a move. Basically I'm judging the blocking of the scene, not the scene itself. I need to rewatch this show, it was one of my favorites.

What are you talking about? Plenty of people keep broken tools around because they can have other uses. I have many a broken drill bit in a can that I use for model building.

[@charlescollier7217]

This was one my favorite scenes. Brains over bullets.

[@psychoairsoft7146]

Raylan has another pretty good advantage over this guy too, that looked like a 1911 handgun he was holding under the table, with the hammer not pulled back/cocked, pretty sure most of those you need to pull the hammer back before it can fire as most are single-action semi-auto pistols. so if he forgot to pull the hammer back and tried to pull the trigger, nothing would happen unless that was somehow a Double-Action 1911?? (is that even a thing?) where you can pull the trigger and it automatically cocks and releases the hammer. but that results in a longer and more difficult trigger-pull. and Raylan does not need any of those things working in his favor to draw and fire faster than the dude could blink.

[@DollyRanch]

You don't carry 1911s with the hammer down. The safety is designed to work with the hammer cocked. There may not have been a round chambered unless he was totally unfamiliar with the weapon's manual of arms

[@rickc4317]

Exactly what I thought, too. Your explanation was very good. That's a normal single action 1911. As usual, screen writers are very seldom firearm savvy.

Hmmm....I'd still give Raylan a chance to draw on the guy before he shoots back. That was a 1911 pistol with the hammer down. 1911's are single action semi auto pistols meaning that the hammer has to be down to pull the trigger. Double action pistols with an exposed hammer can pull the hammer back while the trigger is being pulled. For him to draw on Raylan, he would have to quickly pull the pistol up from his thigh while reaching his thumb up to cock back the hammer at the same time before Raylan can pull and fire. Unless the dude was somewhat trained on his 1911, Raylan would probably beat him at the draw.
