I'm not sure if this is the right spot to ask, but since it is concerning guns themselves....

Why do most pics have a marker/chapstick/etc...near the trigger? Is it to show size comparison?

They do that to "stand them up"....

A little photo trick!

I use a wood dowel, or a shotgun shell.

I'm sure that was a "duh" question...but look at how many posts I have, I'm new!!!

I've used a screwdriver. Have seen knives, shotshells, markers, all kinds of things used to make them smile for the camera. They are very uncooperative when it comes time for their pictures.

Oh, yeah do not do this while they are loaded. I hope I didn't need to remind you of that but just in case.

Chapstick,pen,shotgun shell they all work to stand you firearm up...

Make sure you gun is EMPTY with DAO

Make sure you gun is EMPTY when anything is in the trigger guard

Fixed it for ya!

I prefer this method, looks better than a pen or shotgun shell in the trigger guard.
