Description
Yeah, I know I make kind-of-a-lot-o ID pics, but I get bored with them quickly.
It's like I feel the need to make a new one at least once a week. This one is me with my *Taurus 627 Tracker (matte stainless steel finish, 4" ported barrel, Ribber grip, adjustable sights, fluted cylinder), 7-shot .357 Magnum* shown here loaded with an "exploding eyeball bullet." 
{just to add a touch of quasi-surrealism} I was going for an action movie box cover kind-o-thing. 
Gun Safety Tip: Finger is off the trigger, cylinder is empty (which is why I had to put an eye in there).

happiness is a warm gun. song by the beatles -- I remember when it came out. I thought it was a weird song then, and I still do.
But back to the main point -- caring for one's possessions is important. Everything one owns is a blessing. We're lucky to live where we do under the circumstances we do. Even those in poverty level in America live waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above the poverty level of third world countries. My daughter just returned from a volunteer stint in Africa helping school kids. Damn. Homeless people in the US are luckier than the kids there.

Neat! I didn't realize there were any modern 7-shot revolvers! How good is the .357 Sig cartridge? I'm deciding which caliber my first handgun will be, thinking .45 Auto because of all the rounds I've fired it feels the most comfortable and smooth.

I've never used .357 SIG, but I've read nothing but positives about it. It's basically a 9mm bullet in a bottlenecked 10mm casing with enough increased powder charge to give it approximately 1.5 times the muzzle energy of 9mm Parabellum. More powerful. More accurate. More faster. More everything.
If you want a .45 Auto, you have practically limitless options. I can vouch for the excellence of SIG/Sauer and GLOCK, but there's also Colt, Kimber, Para-Ordnance, and lots of others. I've heard Kimbers aren't very g0od compared to Para-Ordnance which are top-of-the-line. Para-Ordnance, Colt, and Kimber are all pricey, though. GLOCKs are typically affordable. SIGs can vary. I've seen newer ones that are pricey and others that are in a more practical price range. I got mine for about $500. It's an early '90s P220 in American configuration (mag release on the side).
If you wanted a 9mm, you can't go wrong with an FN/Browning Hi-Power. Then again, GLOCKs are always a g0od choice regardless of caliber. Actually, that's also true for SIG/Sauer. But if you want a revolver, I'd recommend Taurus.

I ADORE Glock! Every gun-owning member of my family loves them. My uncle has a G36 or G30, can't remember. Both my parents own G26's. I think the G36 would make an excellent concealed-carry gun. (Not the H&K G36 
What do you think of the .45 GAP? Is Glock onto something or is it just a specialty round that will never hit the mainstream?

.45 GAP might take off like .40 S&W. Then again, maybe not. I'm not really sure how practical it is for a civilian since we already have access to cheaper and more prevalent caliber types.

This is true. According to their site it's just a .45 Auto with a slightly shorter case so it fits standard Glock grip sizes for the smaller ones, so I don't know how practical it would be in any other application.

Nah, it's an intentional optical illusion created by the angle of the webcam.
