I finally got the adapter that lets me use my old Minolta 5400HS flash on my Lumix FZ-20 digicam.
Only drawback is that the Lumix doesn't support TTL metering at all with an external flash, so everything is set by hand.
Thank God it's digital otherwise I'd be spending a fortune on film.

I've been working with getting some good shots of my pistols.
It's harder than you'd think because of the tendency of the guns to reflect light, but I'm pleased with these results.
The pocket bouncer was worth every dime.

The revolver in the holster is a Smith & Wesson Centennial .38 Special
The other revolver is a Smith & Wesson Model 66 .357 Magnum.
The little autopistol is a Kel-Tec P3AT .380 auto.

Yet none of those are Glocks...

Mmmm..... snub-nosed.... absolute proof that size doesn't matter.

Don't. No one's gonna give you shit when you've got a SPAS-12 slung over your sholder.

Er, why particularly did you pick that ChiCom rifle, which as such is probably shit?

*Zor's head explodes with much greater force than his victim's head did, due to the 700-grain .50BMG monster bullet fired by this classic from another building three kilometers away.

Unlike Zor, Sn0 immediately picks up his rifle and scoots, knowing that the best way to win a bullet to the head is to shoot and then camp out...*

Mine's bigger! RAR!

No, I didn't pawn it. If you hadn't been paying attention, I'm the guy with the second biggest starfleet AND weapons collection here, and Guy Number 1 only got that way because he's Emperor!

They're like lil' baby guns. Cute when they're cubs, but when they grow up they're killers.

Sure. Why not?

Cute guns!

Hey Glocksman, your autopistol: what's it made out of? It looks like it's made out of some kind of material that isn't metal, but I'm clueless about guns. Maybe you can tell us about it?

That little Keltec has a polymer frame and a parkerized steel slide.
It's kinda like a *ahem* Glock *ahem* in that regard.
I bought it because .380 auto is the minimum caliber that I see as adequate for civilian self-defense and it is the smallest one around.

Later on I'll post some pics of my other firearms.
