Firearm photos

NOW I GET IT! Smith and Wesson gun forum - picture of gun only - not so good. Picture of gun with a bunch of other unrelated stuff - cool. It's kind of like poetic license - right? Here is a way cool picture.

Nice boot knife gunnut44. Knives and guns are like peas and carrots!

They come in cans?

Guns look good with shiny stuff,

and other stuff

and fluffy and furry stuff

That's kinda where I was going...

I think it is sort of like including the face and legs of a PB Centerfold

Even when looking at the attractive ladies there was part of me that was also thinking. "Awwww..Isn't that cute. She is wearing little hip waders and a little vest in that cold little stream, and OMG, that's a vintage Hardy reel and Paul Young rod she is holding up with tip of her tongue." I think it adds something. Imagine the College issue without those team sweaters and and little tubes you yell through.

My favorite photos you folks post?? The ones with the vintage ammo boxes and holsters casually laying beside the weapon. They look like what gun photos would have looked like back in the day if Ichiro Nagata would have been taking them. IMHO ofcourse.

I guess I am guilty as well..

Well gosh, Lee won't let us post pics of nekked ladies. I really like the guns with food pics.

firearmsunlimited, you came up with a pretty good picture that challenges our minds how these things relate to the handgun.

Here's one of a Colt Model 1860 Army and it's former owner and staff.

reddogge,
This is a completely cool shadow box!

Firearmsunlimited, is that a Ben Richardson stag horn knife?

 

[sipowicz]

If we only posted the gun, how would we know when it's time to get a new holster? And I hope that phaser is set on stun...

 

[Babalooie]

Mine is in two parts.

 

[jcelect]

Hey, where's the wood?

Nobody posted any wood with their gun? What's up?

Tom High custom from the year he won the knife makers guild award.

Here's a carefuly composed shot. Note the juxtaposition of the brick and charcol lighter-offsetting the white terrycloth towel on which the gun sits-close to the gaping maw of the Weber. And one asks, is that yet another cast iron hibachi sitting atop the weber on which yon gun rests atop it's virginial white bed???
Some college professor (or a shrink for the criminally insane ) could write a book about the different sublimated layers of unrequited angst this picture delievers.

I think the inclusion of a knife in a gun photo gives it extra "color" and a nice reference point. For example, here are some of the tools of the trade for our OSS spy agency during WWII - a Colt Commando and an OSS stiletto. Just the things for coping with the Gestapo in occupied France!

Love that anti-Nazi spachelor! Way cool!

 

[CH47gunner]

First pic was actually just for the Challenge coin, threw the gun in for kicks.
So yes, it's a gratuitous gun pic.
