Tell me what's wrong with this picture...

[VirgilCaine]

Just curious here, but...



The woman is wearing western gear, but the revolver just looks a bit too advanced. It just looks...out of place. Weird. I'd expect, a Schofield or a SAA or...something else.

Can anyone help me out here?

 

[Ruodo]

The shape is wrong, especially around the grip.

 

[MrBorland]

What looks weird to me is a finger on the trigger...with the hammer cocked

 

[Bearhands]

her eye makeup is just too.......... "him"

 

[VirgilCaine]

I, uh, meant more in terms of what model of gun it looked most like. I mean, it's not your usual Western suspects--I know what it's NOT a Peacemaker, a LeMat, a Schofield, etc.

To me, it looks like a swing-out cylinder Smith and Wesson from around the turn of the 20th century, but I'm not perfect.

And yeah, the fingerless gloves seem anachronistic also.

 

[PotatoJudge]

Nah, it's nothing. Looks like a Ruger Redhawk, no cylinder release, and the color is more stainless than nickel. Also, the firing pin is frame mounted. The ejector rod looks like an old S&W, but probably just a poor copy of the Ruger from the looks of it.

Sheesh, it wasn't meant to be accurate, only in your face...

 

[CrankyOldGuy]

Funky belt buckle, the trenchcoat sleeves and collar are out of scale and the hat doesn't fit.

The poorly rendered Redhawk is out of place too...and the scale is all wrong. Besides that, she's pretty darn cute.

Yes & yes.......

It does look more like a Ruger Redhawk than a Blackhawk and her belt buckle
is set-up as a guy's not a gal's (buckle on the left hand side not the right).

It has a Dark Tower-y feel.

 

[testosterone]

It looks wrong because the relation of the trigger finger to the thumb is not anotomically accurate.

Also, its like the pistol has a mini backsweep at the top of the grip like a typical semi-auto and unlike most revolvers...

so...

the hand is not anatomically accurate...

And the pistol is wrong

 

[jad0110]

Actually, I kinda thought it looks like a 6" Ruger Security Six.

 

[VirgilCaine]

Ah, so it's a Ruger Redhawk...that explains it. Thanks, guys.

 

[logical]

She's got man hands baby.

 

[nmlongbow]

She has a really long thumb.

 

[Grizfire]

She has no left arm.

 

[wrs840]

I think she's kinda cute.

Note the text under the photo.

[Dan Crocker]

ha ha "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came..."

 

[WardenWolf]

She has no left arm.

And a couple of other things you'd expect her to have. . .

But... but... I likes skinny girls.

[ArchAngelCD]

Umm, too many buttons at the top of her shirt???

(forget I said that! )

What are genre conventions and how do they work.

 

[General Geoff]

One genre convention would be that single action revolvers are used in westerns. Obviously the double action is superiour, so let's throw that little convention out the window.

 

[MCM]

You guys are all nuts! A size 2 pair of jeans are much harder to come buy than ANY revolver!

 

[VirgilCaine]

Glad you guys are having fun with this...
