That's a nice lay-out. A bit cluttered, but can't be helped I suppose.

Just an idea, and some input: Where you have the metal ringlets (that hold on the handle, propane tank holster, etc), i'd get thin peices of the clothy foam strips that electronics and such are packed with. Protects the paint job, and does'nt look bad.

Better visual, Advancedspuds.com, clikc on his guns and then Quadzilla.

Also, im sure you will go back and touch up the paint scuffs?

yeah those are old pics i took last week, i touched the paint up since then

its a little cluttered on the right hand side only because its meant to be hip fired for a right handed person, dont want the screws on the outside resting on your hip with a stun gun ignition on it.

as for my site, yeah its got a little eye candy with the images but its very low on content, in fact i think it sucks compared to a more revised site like this but im really pressed for time since im working a 50 hour a week job and in the middle of moving into my new home so its on the back burner for now

once im totally moved into my new home and i set up shop again im gonna redo my page, i got help from an uncle who works for a top 10 SEO company. When i redo my page it will be much more professional. There will be a lot of changes to my site, and it will happen all at once its still in the making as we speak :)

Yea. I just got done looking at your site and im happy with it. Next paycheck you'll be getting some of my money, lol. Mainly for some of the parts you have listed. Better prices than most places. But, yea, your sites nice and the guns are pretty good. You could update the gun pictures though, maybe some better queality ones. Might be my monitor but they seemed dark. Eh.

And like I said, sometimes the clutter on guns can't be helped. You outta see my first propane cannon, lol. Big mess.
