Another "NO COMPROMISE" Gun "Group".

It appears that "no compromising" can get you in trouble. Perhaps positive results should be the goal.

I see that Sig is out with a slicked-up version of the 1911.

[Oberon]

Yes, but that's not nearly as interesting as the egregious error in this photograph. You can tell their marketing people aren't gun people, or they would never have let this pic out of the studio!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Maybe it's me, but that magazine on the cover looks odd.

[Shooter 2.5]

There's a gunshow today and I'm going to see if I can find some of these pamphlets. The ironic thing is most photographers I have met know a thing or two about firearms.

[Atlas Sneezed]

I noticed the error, too. That's what happens when you let the art department handle guns!

[Shooter 2.5]

It's not you.
And there's nothing wrong with the actual magazine per say.

[litehaus]

Some folks ARE backwards!

[Tijeras_Slim]

And there's nothing wrong with the actual magazine per say.

But it would provide terminal embarassment during a fast reload.

[SC Swamp Fox]

I am so embarrassed.....I needed your hint. I just kept looking right past it.

Are the bullets loaded backwards in the clip?

[Joe Brower]

"Are the bullets loaded backwards in the clip?"

A-yep!

[Joe Brower]

BTW, it's a "magazine", not a "clip".

[American_Centurion]

That has to be the most ignorant thing I have ever seen.

If HK paid a dime for that add, they paid 10 cents too much!

[Shooter 2.5]

The most common mistake is the reversal of the negative. There was an American Rifleman magazine cover that did that. The designers admitted they did it because the title of the magazine would have covered part of the painting. Oops.

Movie posters are notorious for that. A "Beverly Hills Cop" poster was reversed.

[Squantos]

BRAWAWAWAWAWAWAWHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH !!!!

Who says old guys ain't sharp ! Well done good eye Shooter !

Stay Safe !

[American_Centurion]

I don't possibly see how a reversed negative can make the rounds point to the wrong end of the magazine.

Yes, in a reversed negative the entire magazine would orient in a different direction, but the relationship to which way the rounds were loaded to the magazine would remain the same.

Or am I just seeing things?

[RipSawyer]

Reversal of the negative would have reversed everything, it would not look the same as bullets loaded backward in the magazine.

[verity]

Guns ARE dangerous! lol

[coloradan]

Check out the picture. LOL!
