As a filmmaker and photographer for Guns.com, I’ve been fortunate to travel to every corner of America to attend gun shows, machine gun shoots and range days. I document unique, rare and fascinating guns. In some cases, I’m lucky enough to make videos about guns and their proud owners.
Check out some of the gorgeous guns I’ve captured over the years. If you want more info, click on the photographs to see corresponding videos.
Enjoy.
