It's been over a decade since I've read them. I remember enjoying them but not much else! And now I've watched Sherlock, House, The Mentalist, parts of Elementary (barf), the movies, and The Great Mouse Detective. I should revisit the stories

It has the excuse that usually makes me accept most silly tropes I.e. there's a real thing that it's standing in for that could work just as well for the plot but it would be too hard to explain for a normie audience and not worth the time (taking out the firing pin)
-
Ironically the one instance of this trope where this really clearly wouldn't be possible is the most famous one, Die Hard (where John McClane obviously hasn't had time or leisure to take apart one of his guns for cleaning before his encounter with Hans)

Oh, sure, i mean, i've handled lots of firearms. I'm a pretty good shot with a handgun. I just don't watch stupid procedurals for accuracy in literally any aspect of reality; if i did, i wouldn't bother.

I mean, literally everything about forensics is also made the fuck up in basically every procedural, you know? They take place in a fantasy world where firearms are lightweight & forensics are magic & cops are competent and good. None of these things are true in our world!

Yeah, there are just some things that ruin shit for me, especially if it's already kinda marginal (Monk made me fairly uncomfortable before that episode). I roll my eyes at most gun stuff (even though some of it is stuff that'd get people killed), but that was a last straw.
