? I confused. That is just the reflection of the gun. Should I have cloned it out?

The slide is in the rear-most position. This leaves the barrel and mainspring guide rod projecting forward. Not all pistols have such long guide rods.

Thanks for that! I set it up this way on purpose. I was confused about what John was talking about. This is a Beretta .380 Cheetah.

Good idea. Didn't think of that. Just got the target rounds. It's my wife's gun.

Last night I posted my photo named "Armed and Dangerous". I wasn't happy with the initial results, but liked the concept. I went to work today to make this idea a keeper. Here is my result.

Thank you all for viewing the photo.

James

Hmmm. No comments from the mind trust.

Here is my take.

The shadow being blured and doubled just does not work. An in focus reflection would be incredable, and use a nasty hollow point to add a danger factor.

I like Jack Daniels......

I like the last image because I can see the top of the gun, but the reflection is a bit of a detraction, cool shot though, I think the suggestions about hollow points, or maybe some hydra shocks would be cool too.
