That small collection is hardly worth faking, if he had a ton of 'stock' photos of illegal guns then that'd be different....pretty hard to fake it with his camo as a background.

I like the sig's...they have a good firing feel compared to other guns. I do like the Glock .40.

The only Glock .40 i ever fired was a compact version. I cant describe how absolutely uncomfortable that thing was to hold/fire.

But it was absolutely uncomfortable Id like to handle a standard sized Glock and see if I like it. meh, one day, perhaps.

compact guns almost always sacrifice alot for size. Full sized guns are easier to be accurate with and have less recoil felt almost always. However, trying to carry a 9" barrel under plain clothes daily is difficult.

9" barrel? you won't find one of those except maybe for revolvers and no one in their right mind would try to carry one as a concealed carry weapon. most large framed semi-autos have about a 5" barrel.

No kidding, I have a S&W .44 Magnum with 8" barrel and that sucker is huge. Put it in a holster and it becomes almost impossible to conceal.

I was referring to as guns go up in size their accuracy and 'comfort' usually improve. As you shrink a gun down you make for sacrifices. Many carry 1911's everyday and many would say they are way too big for CC.
