In Episode 393 of Mic’d In New Haven, NYPD Detective George Sichler pulls back the curtain on one of the most talked-about gun-handling moves in modern action cinema — the so-called “Wick Flick.”

While working as a consultant with Keanu Reeves, Sichler witnessed the move’s true origin during a live-fire range session. It wasn’t a law-enforcement technique, and it wasn’t something taught by police or military units. Instead, it came from an off-hand range habit shown by a Navy SEAL — a move Reeves found visually compelling and ultimately carried into John Wick for its cinematic impact.

Sichler explains why the move isn’t tactically sound in the real world — and how Hollywood often prioritizes style over practicality. It’s a story that’s been speculated about for years… and until now, never publicly told.

🎧 Watch Episode 393 for the full breakdown — straight from the range, not the rumor mill.
