Similarly, why did Rick take Carl's gun away?
He wanted Carl to be a normal kid, as he has always said throughout the show. Since Carl was following his example, he decided to change and not use guns any more. He doesn't even go out beyond the prison's perimeter, and won't have Carl go beyond the faces or even kill walkers on the face.
Additionally, why do cops hold their guns tilted? Because their heavy recoil made them tend to climb when fired in full automatic mode, soldiers would hold them sideways so that the bullets would spread in a horizontal rather than vertical arc, hitting more targets.
Likewise, people ask, what kind of gun does Rick Grimes carry?
.357 Magnum Colt Python revolver
Why does Rick use a revolver?
He keeps it because it reminds him of his old life. He and that pistol has history. We have seen him use other kinds of pistols several times. from magazine capacity and ammo availability standpoints, he'd be a lot better off using a full size semi-auto 9mm.
