That's what happens when you allow stupid people in marketing/add agencies do advertising!

VERY POOR placement of that mag for the picture angle.. Makes it look like the pistol also also may come in 500 S&W !:what:

Uhhh...I think he is referring to the fact that the rounds are loaded into the magazine backwards.

Before I retired, I used to photograph gun catalogs sfor some pretty well known names.

I wish I had a piece like this to show new customers why they needed a photographer who was a shooter too!!!

I'd have made a bunch of more sales:rolleyes:

What's wrong here is that this same photo thread ran last week:

Everybody look at the last three replies!:scrutiny: I guess we should all read EVERY thread EVERY day to be sure we don't post something that has already been posted before!

I thought it was funny, had not seen it before, so I posted it. Maybe somebody else hadn't seen it either???¿

Yeah I know about the search feature, just what wording would YOU use to find if it had been posted before?

The previous thread I cited ran from the 4th through the 7th. That's 5 days.

The term "picture oops" worked quite well on Search when I looked for the recent thread.

When I ran a search on "picture oops" I got matches on
entries that had either "picture" or "oops" but not a
match on the phrase "picture oops" which is what I would
expect get in a search on "picture oops."

The search feature would be used more often if it
allowed "quoted strings" and Boolean operators. Hint hint.

That ad was done by the same class of people that
made a "Great Raid" dvd label with an M9 pistol prop
or who flipped the Mosin Nagant on the poster for
"Enemy at the Gates" to a left hand model: but
they are professional photographers.

I hadn't seen it before and I found it entertaining. Mountains and molehills, folks...

I've seen it before (it seems to show up every two weeks) but I get a kick out of seeing it each time and reading the different responses to it. :D
