Had a little time to begin to brainstorm the Glock product shoot. Figured I'd get the images before I run a couple hundred rounds through it at the range. I kind of like this, but it's not there yet ....................

Jim the Glock 43 is simple and reliable. Great weapon.
Funny, the aesthetics of the Kimber had me all spooled up to buy that one, but it would have been a mistake. You're right on the money, the Glock is simple and reliable, not the Kimber pizazz, but it's purpose is effectiveness, not glitz. Mine has the Tridium sights, I'm looking forward to a few hours at the range with it.
Glocks are great tools. Like a claw hammer, they're ugly but they seem to work every time. This one has a ton of range time and has never once hiccupped. I qualified for my LTC last weekend with a perfect score. Good to go!
I have had a hard time photographing my G21, it seems that the black just absorbs the light and reflects it back in funky ways....if that makes sense?
Glock's are awesome if the grip angle works for you. I have never been comfortable with one, always points up hill for me. Now after 100,000 rounds with a 1911 maybe that is just muscle memory. As for a Kimber, love em!!! But I don't go for the fancy ones, just the standard ones with ambi safety and ether target sights for the range or fixed sights for everything else.
I may still end up with a Kimber 1911, but not for CC, I'd get tired of everyone asking me if "I was just glad to see them........" The Glock 43 is the best solution I've found so far for me anyway. I have a Ruger Single Six that I just love, it lives in a Bianchi holster and belt set up, you know with the row of bullets across the back. Brings back my memories of The Lone Ranger, Paladin, Matt (Gunsmoke), Clint and Wyatt. Back in the day when a hero was a hero and that's all there was to tell.
Dear Zane, and anyone else who likes to analyze imagery,
The Glock 43 shots were lit by two chimera strip lights and a bounce card. Strobes were two Elinchrom 600RX units. One strip at about 10 o'clock several feet behind and a couple of feet above the product table line. The second strip light was 36" from the subject, and about two feet above the table line at an 8 o'clock position. Relatively low power settings, three bursts on the 8:00 strip and four on the 10:00. Baddabingbaddaboom..............!
Canon 5DSR, Canon 24-70, ISO 100, f/14, shot at HQ on black plexiglass.
Next subject at HQ is the new gun metal gray Tesla Model "S" that resides at HQ, Ya know everyone needs an "airport car"...........................

Now Laura, you know me better than that I'm an Aston man. I buddy of mine is out of room at home and asked if I could tuck his new Model S in out of the weather until he makes a few adjustments. Although, based on what I read, we've all "bought" a Tesla in a manner of speaking. Cool as the vehicle is, the government subsidy is ridiculous and they are making about 1/3 of the sales numbers promised. No wonder Elon can afford to shoot his into space.

Speaking about guns, if I ever handle one, (not allowed in our region), I would like it to be the UK's "Accuracy International AW50" sniper rifle. I like the technique and physics behind sniping and the way the technique is applied.
My snapshot was in about halfway through the garage door, with the led bulb on muzzle side and natural, tree filtered light from the rear. The cloth is a shemagh that a friend of mine brought back from the sand pit.
