Has Gandalf fallen for some infernal orcish device of Sauron?

Seriesly, is PJ trying out some in-situ 3D tricks, like he did with "forced perspective"? IMHO, post-production 3D effects are about as welcome as "colorization" was.

This (for once) early edition of Saturday Night Gun Pron is my attempt to take care of the backlog of items I've been intending to post. I'm spending a lot of time caring for my mother, which is rewarding but time-consuming.

I liked my H&K police trade-in P7PSP so much, I bought a "hand-picked, select" one just to serve as a safe queen, so I can take it out and admire it, while the other one works as my carry piece. The "new" one, built in 1985 rather than 1986, must have never left its plastic box all these years. Externally has 99%+ original finish, with absolutely no internal wear. I might have removed the official factory grease when I cleaned and lubed it.

The one on the left now has Trijicon sights, and the newer-style "flat" grips. After about 200 rounds, traces of wear are starting to appear on internal parts. I've probably put more rounds through it than the priginal owner ever did.

I'm still debating whether to even fire the new one. I did, however, order a set of walnut grips from the German company that made the fancy walnut grips for H&K's last-of-the-breed production run of 300.

One unexpected bonus was the 1980-marked magazine that was included with the new P7. The P7 was only in development in 1980, so this might be one used in that program. All production magazines have stamped markings, and no date. This one seems to be electro-etched, instead.

Just an added bonus for a weapon they don't-make-;ole-they-used-to, because they're not made at all, any more.

It's being shot in 3D to begin with, not processed in "post". One of the cameras, which shoots very-HD 3D video rather than film, can be seen about 20 seconds into this little video PJ released at the beginning of principal photography last month.
