Slippery guns

I enjoyed the movie, but found it lazy that every time someone had a gun they were easily disarmed. A few suggestions: gloves, some type of glue or adhesive, a wallet chain for guns or just pull the damn trigger.

I noticed that, too, in the first scene. It was to show who the tough guy was, but even then the guy with the gun has the advantage. You can't outrun a bullet.

This bothered me, too. How many times did an unarmed Joe successfully disarm Kane and/or Romano? Also, Mr. Big disarmed Pete in their first scene together.
