We as much as I'd like to savagely ruin your ego and bash your gun image, I 
can't it. It looks great. Though wides add some weight 
which I'm not sure if the subject minds or not. Are the "twin towers" in the 
background on purpose?

Saw a bumper sticker on a PA van today, it read "this van only carries $20 
in ammunition". Those Steagles folks are crazy!
