Propping up your pistol

[Protected One]

For those of you who, like me, have wanted something better than a pocket knife for "propping" up your handguns for pictures...I have the solution!
They are called Wooden Doll Bodies, and can be found in craft stores in packs of (6) for less than $3.

They work on handguns with barrel lengths of 4" or less.

I just take a length of dowel rod and cut it into appropriate sections.

Or if you are like BD Green you splice several dowel rods together

A 12 gage S&W head-stamped shot shell.

That's what I went in to purchase, but then I saw these and said ahhh...no cutting needed!

But then how do you justify the $1200 radial arm saw you bought to go with the dowel?

I use 3/4" PVC pipes I cut with a hack saw. I may even paint them.

You only bought one saw?

Spending $1200 is better than getting caught on surveillance cameras in a doll store!

Sometimes I just use a 12-gauge shell.

Doll bodies..........Hum,

I'll try that, I jest been using toothpicks.........

[doublesharp]

I often use a pre-toothpick.

Rubber stoppers behind work well and don't clutter the picture. An old shot shell is better than a dowel or doll body.

This is the way to go, cuz then you can justify purchasing a lathe to turn a 4x4 into a toothpick.

The same way you justify the $700 pistol you bought to fill the $5 holster you found at a yard sale....

.50 BMG brass works well too. And if you've already got the lathe from making toothpicks, you can also use to make a couple different styles of pens.

Great photos gentlemen!

I don't take photos often, but usually I'll use a 12 ga shotshell..

 

[Marshwheeling]

What could possibly be better than a nice pocket knife?

 

[two-bit cowboy]

Ammo that's a wee bit too big for the subject.

You only bought one saw?

Yeah, I already had two.
