Default Sometimes it’s good to show off, a little bit.

I’ll be the first to admit my picture taking skill are crude at best. But every now and then I do manage to pick up something worth taking a snapshot of.

3 ½” M 27 – 2, thanks Lee.
Leather by Lobo Leather, thanks Ray.

Looks like a very nice rig.

Hint for your pictures: The stark white towel background has caused your camera to underexpose your subject (gun and holster). Try shooting it with a background that is a little less white. Alternatively, depending upon your camera, you can try to point your lens at the holster and hold the button down half way. This will cause the camera to lock onto that proper exposure and focus. Keep the button pressed half way and then, if it is a point and shoot camera, it should give you enough depth of field to recompose and shoot it. Experiment a little-digital is cheap.

Very nice. I'm not one to talk, calling my pictures crude's a compliment but I can appreciate the subject matter.
Beautiful matched set. That's some really nice leather. Hows about more shots of the gun by itself.

Very, very nice Fred! I'm gonna need to spring for some nice leather like that. What a perfect firearm and leather combination!

That's a fine set up Mr. Bear. Got one of Ray's Threeperson rigs for my 696. Good man that Ray. Lee too.
