When Your Photographer Isn't A Gun Guy

By Bob Owens | 12:04 PM | November 15, 2014

The always brilliant, often snarky Tamara Keel is trying to kill me this morning.

She pointed towards the hyperbolic writing in a writer’s review of the new Springfield Armory XD Mod 2 on Facebook, which was mildly painful, but sadly common in product reviews.

Then she pointed out the following picture from the article.

Look closely.

Every once in a while, you’ll see a picture on the Internet that causes your brain to cramp.

I wrote back in response:

I think that for the first time in my life, my left frontal lobe just physically cramped. My upper lip is twitching.

I think this picture just gave me stroke.

This photo is close to being on par with the HK catalog cover SNAFU that was so roundly mocked several years ago.

If you don’t see it, don’t worry: I’m sure someone will explain it in all its awful glory in the comments.
