Okay, before you so call gun experts say Liz's finger is on the trigger, know that I took the firing pin out of the gun (I'm a certified Glock Armorer). So there's no way a round can be fired.

I'm thinking out loud here....I wonder if this wouldn't be more effective if the model was completely topless, or a see-through top which conceals nothing. I'm trying to come up with the scenario where she would have a gun out, along with a pair of 38s. In other words, why is her shirt pulled up?

Excellent question.

It's to distract us while she blows us away--with the gun.

Not just completely topless, but bottomless as well: Totally nude, except for the holsters!

Guns and a naked woman somehow go together.

I agree.
It's my opinion that a photo should tell a story, even if that story is about how the photographer used lighting to present a model as being desirable (for whatever reason).
Going with that, I think the model should be part of that story, and should say something. What does this model say? The shirt, in this case, seems to say, "Look at my boobs." If the shirt weren't there, the message would be very different; it might say, "This is how a beautiful woman looks when using tactical equipment as props."
But that's just me.

Robeng, I love this photo. I am a big fan of naked or semi-naked women in tactical gear or any weapon. I do think this photo would be better with her top either pulled down or taken off. It is still a very evocative photo. I am getting to be a big fan of your work.

The lack of a firing pin, which nobody would know, doesn't lessen the appropriateness of calling out a finger on the trigger.
