Firearm photos

Sometimes the items in the pictures remind us of a special friend or hunt. I used to take old Milt out squirrel shooting, sadly he passed about three weeks after this pic was taken.

. . . I just don't get it.

Bummer. Looks like the rest of us do.

I happen to like the "artsy" style of gun photos with interest as opposed to sale catalog, white background, no interest.

That's just me...

I like pics of guns with guys in suits...

Calvin Klein, Burberry?

You mean like these? I hate that too! I have even more than these! Wanna see em?

That Colt Trooper 22 is super sweet!
Even sweeter is "Mr. Shorty" (That "short barrelled bad 44")

After hours of searching the web... I finally found a true 'Mona Lisa that captured that certain 'je n'est ce quoi' of a firearm.

I never get tired of looking at photographic art like this...

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

My preference is to let the gun speak for itself:

Sometimes I like to compose a still life shot.

Other times not so much.

And why is when I goggle pictures of bowls of soup, as I often do when it's chilly out, that people put a spoon it in???? I just want the soup!!!!

What is up with the gun photos that contain not only a picture of the gun but include a watch, knife and/or flashlight? Are we supposed to be impressed with the added items? I just don't get it. Do the same posters put a gun in their photos of their knife on a website dedicated to knives?

i was wondering if you have the same question of the folks that publish the S&W catalog?they have plenty of non gun images to illustrate/sell their products!

You're right though, this picture would have been so much better with just the gun in it.

Doug, sir, . . . With all due respect . . .

You started a good 'un!

My personal favorites:

 

[Cyrano]

NCTexan: Where DID you get that Glock 18!!! I'd sure love to have one of those, particularly the compensated version. I understand the older version with the compensator in front of the slide blew so much hot gas onto the plastic front sight, when shooting a couple of 33 round magazines full auto, that the sights melted!

OK, I'll spill the beans. These people are members of a secret society and the posititon of the knife in the picture sends out a coded message to the other members.

Well, since folks are going to post pictures of guns and knives, I have a suggestion. If anybody knows, or remembers, the 'standard' icon of a "Miner Forty-niner" had two things in his hands. One was a PEPPERBOX, and the other was a BOWIE KNIFE. "if the right one don't getcha, the left one will!" During and after the Civil War, there were iconic pictures of Colt revolvers with variations of Bowie Knives and Arkansas Toothpicks. I've not seen many for the First World War, but from the Second World War, and the inception of the OSS, again, another icon or two has emerged. Victory revolvers stand alone as an American icon of determination. We could, also, picture them with a nice Fairbairn-Sykes or the American model V42 knife. From my years in Thailand, I might offer the suggestion of a Model 15-2 or 15-3, sided with the regulation U.S. Air Force aircrew model survival knife. It is a time-tested design, as the M15-3 is. The American marriage of revolvers and companion knives is symbolic of the determination and indomitable fighting spirit of our armed forces, and those who still hold America near and dear.
