A loaf of bread, a jug of wine -- and a woman with a 1911 .45 pistol

I love 1911 .45 pistols and I love good-looking women and I love taking photos.

And sometimes I get to love all three together at the same time.

I took the photo at right to illustrate a gunbroker auction for the gun shop where I work for a Kimber Ultra CDP II .45 ACP 1911 with Crimson Trace Lasergrips.

That's one of the gun shop family owners modeling the pistol, a young woman named Jennifer, with her hair hanging loose.

I'm just saying a small woman's hand holding a .45 pistol with her hair hanging down is just a beautiful photo, if I did take it myself.

And like all good photos, it has a very clear message: Do not mess with this woman!
