The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

Desert Eagle, Kimber or Para Ordnance , 1911, comes to my mind. Or the ultimate, a Howitzer in mid glorious firing.

Of course, the Colt Python 357 is always a revolver classic.

Randall, the .45's I mentioned are the worthy ones , especially the double spring Desert Eagles. No jamming...only on the rare occasion of the shooter not having a strong stiff wrist that hinders the slide and loading action. Not the gun's fault. The Israelis were perfectionists in their firearm inventions.

My Marlin .44 mag lever rifle is my go to big "pistol" too grin

30-06 is gonna have a time deciding...

the Desert eagle , Tawrus judge and a "sawwed off " shotgun are the 3 options

gimmick , gimmick , gimmick is how I vote


make your screen background blue , black , some solid color I know I am boring

Good thought, Pete. Not boring at all.

A cluttered background only detracts from highlighting the subject. Often , the lines or lighter areas along barrel and stock can be obscured by a cluttered background. Like museums framing original art, a lighted subject with a very dark backdrop makes the subject glow in all its detail.

I may have a less artistic angle.
I look at other peoples screens all day , I see screens that look like the floor in a teenagers bedroom
toss in a language barrier and it only makes it worse.

it is like looking for a 10mm wrench in a 5 gallon pail of tools

from the toolbox perspective organized in drawers everything where it belongs and not a bunch of clutter saves time searching for the tool.

grin That too ! I cannot stand disorganized clutter in anything. I have to have my research pics and other info arranged nicely on my Mac as I work. After each job is done, those pics or info all get deleted. All that's left is my big mountains screen pic.

Well now 30-06 has some ideas to consider ! grin

Like your idea of a favorite gun for a computer background.

If i did that it would be my Springfield Armory 45 ACP.

Any 1911 style 45 is a great gun. Just the way it fits your hand makes a lot of people own it


Till that day.....

Whatever you choose, make sure there is a dead animal in the background.


Anything the governments gives you they must first take away from someone else.

I drove past a house in town today and the front lawn ornament was a dozen coyotes hung by a back leg.
