Photo: Springfield XDS - Black Out

Not sure where photos should be posted, but it's a Handgun so I posted it here - feel free to share your thoughts on the photo. I posted a white background the other day, thought I'd try something different with this one.

XD's look so top heavy...

[Thunder71]

Seems to tame recoil and even out the weight of the ammo.

True, but fat bottom girls make the world go round

EDITED because of criticism, which was justified, but probably makes the post even worse....

Ehhhh, not thrilled with a gun that I can't wrap all four fingers around. For me, having my pinky finger waving around makes me feel like iI'm having High Tea with the Queen of England and eating little cucumber sandwiches withthe crust cut off, or that I'm gay, which brings up the image of an 800 pound reloading troll crawling out from under his bridge in a lavender tutu holding a pink 2x4....

Mind bleach, anyone??

More seriously, how does one transition from three fingers on the grip to two as far as aiming?? Seeing as you are used to a certain pressure with each finger with a full sized gun to get a good sight picture, what happens when you take one finger out of the equation?? I would think it would take an enormous amount of practice to get used to being able to do it either way with no significant difference in accuracy, and more importantly, are you ever going to be able to get to the point psychologically where you feel confident that two fingers on the grip are REALLY as good as three? I can't imagine being able to do this myself, but then again with the stuff I shoot you need all three fingers to hang on.

My pinky didn't wave around just curled up nicely under the butt .

feel free to share your thoughts on the photo.

What's with the scratches on the background? Are they there on purpose, or just a scratched background? It draws a lot of my attention. Should be easy enough to clone out though....

[Thunder71]

Yeah, my background is a piece of black poster board and should be retired... I thought it added a rustic effect so I left it, but it bugs me too. I either need to 'scratch' it up more to it's not so localized or toss it I think.

Usually I'll throw a piece of glass over it and that does a good job of hiding it from the reflections it provides.
