Every shooter who was around in the 80′s remembers this epic scene from Miami Vice’s fourth episode, Calderone’s Return, originally aired on October 19, 1984. The actor who played the hit man, Jim Zubiena, was a prominent IPSC shooter back in the day and I was such an IPSC geek that I recognized him when the episode aired. The above linked video, from the Youtube channel of the manufacturers of PACT timers, includes a shot to shot breakdown of the draw and fire sequence. Next time you hit the range, give it a try!
For the serious students of the 80′s, here are two great links for more about the episode of Miami Vice, as well as Jim Zubiena’s own comments about the filming.
