Here are some thoughts on gun photography.
Daryl Hallquist to posted some images for me.
Non-reflective dead black background
No flash
Manual focus/manual metering camera
Understand depth of field
Tripod
Cable release
All were made with an Olympus E-20n – a 20-year old 5mp digital camera
(usually available for $50-60)
All exposures were ISO 100 and f 8 @ 1 second (or very close to it)
Posing stands and background material holders made from PVC pipe
Images were made with photo lights or outside using white poster board
to bounce-in sunlight
Happy to respond to specific questions

Your pics are proof that you know what your'e doing. I would have thought a 1 sec at f8 in bright light would be too much exposure.
