With apologies to Visa (?) ad department: "Priceless"

Looks like printing, anyway...she didn't actually have the gun on her at the time. The revolver was photographed on a different day in a different place.
 
Oleg I was just wonerdeing where you get your models from? Are they friends or just volunteers off the street?

hoosierboy,

Some of each. I try to photograph friends, mostly...but this one was from the coffee shop I frequent.
 
Another question for Oleg.

You already answered one that I previously had that was just asked. But who owns these guns? The people that appear in the pictures, yourself, or who? Also, how do these individuals that you photograph feel about RKBA?

Oleg, Nice picture ... should make the anti-crowd stop & think. I hope you don't mind if I take this off-topic a bit but since I also use those slowstrips that you used in your photo ...

... I was just curious why you loaded it with only five rounds instead of six? My revolver is also a five-rounder but I still carry six rounds in the speedstrip as that one extra round doesn't take up that much more space/weight and since it fits in the strip, one extra round is one extra round!

Was this done for artistic reasons? Is this the way you actual carry? What? Just curious.

By the way, have you ever considered submitting you photos to the various gunrags and the NRA periodicals for publication? Since you're not selling anything and providing a "public service" for the purposes of advancing the right to keep and bear arms, I would think that they would be happy to run them and maybe even pay you something for their use. Just a thought.

FUD.
 
Another great one Oleg. Thanks.

NRA? Good. Now join the GOA!

The S&W640 (not a .38 as labeled) belongs to a TFL friend, not a local. He carries two extra strips of five rounds.

In this case, the model has no guns but is quite supportive of the site. Most people I photograph, however, bring their own arms. Regradless of the desire for accurate representation, gunnies tend to look more proficient and authentic. The only trouble is that having locals appear in pro-carry posters might cause trouble for them with co-workers or cops (no legal carry here except in very rare cases).
 
FUD, they're speed strips, not "slow strips".

The reason they are loaded with 5 rounds rather than 6 is to give you more to hold onto while manipulating the strip.

The strip is held like a scalpel in the dominant hand. The ring finger and pinky
curl around where the sixth round would
be and the floppy tab. Cartridges are
loaded in twos. (except for the last
one, of course)

[/quote]dvc, I was trying to be funny ;) because the are not as fast as speedloaders and I don't find them any faster then if the ammo was loose. I use them because it's easier to carry extra ammo in the strip than to have it loose somewhere. FUD.
