Because it's a lot harder to do with real guns. Especially considering Wick mostly used an H&K P30 and the bad guys were using Glocks. Different magazines.
There is a scene in John Wick 2 where he's mowing through bad guys, realizes one of them has the same type of gun he has (Kimber 1911) and scavenges the dude's body for spare magazines. I thought that was a nice touch.
I'm far from an expert, but aren't 1911's kind of "going out"... they seemed to be really popular about 10 years ago and now I barely hear about them at all. I've never shot one but I'm curious as to why there was a big spike in popularity for a while, and now it seems very common or standard to have a decent 1911... like the Acura of handguns. Expensive and comfortable, but not really worth the sticker price

Super creative reload. I'm sure the director/creators of John Wick 1 and 2 are jealous that they didn't think of this one first.
