Sometimes when I'm bored I'll just start doing random concept designs of some type of object. This is a collection oddball pistol designs I've done at work on my lunch or at break. Just playing with different ways of putting things together. There not for any particular project. Just mental kata for me.

that goes without saying, but I've still read of experience shooters having firearms go off before they were expected it, especially if wearing gloves, because of crowded trigger guards. It apparently get even worse if the gloves are padded and your fingers are numb from cold. They didn't feel the trigger moving immediately until bang. They were planning to shoot so they had their fingers on the triggers but just not that instant.
At least in all cases it was a hunting or target shooting event and no one was hurt except the target, but I can't help but think that if you are a cop, soldier or a licensed citizen and you're trying to hold a potential dangerous suspect at gunpoint in December how having some extra room in the trigger guard would be a good thing.

Hell, look at the AK-47, over-sized trigger-guard, guess why......here, I'll recommend a book I liked very much.

I guess what I meant by "oddball" is that I had preconceived ideas on what the handguns would look like. I just started by drawing a line and then just let my mind wander until I had a finished object. It's hard to describe. It may sound cliche but it is almost zen-like.
no, Oddball is found here.

Imagine carrying that machine gun cross.

Yes,
baroncoon and I sat down and made up a rough list of the intelligent species and where they fit taxonomically. We also made an ancillary list of the approximate size ranges of various taxonomic families.
There are wee folk: jerboas, mice, and rats. Through most of history they tended to keep mostly to themselves, and the mice appear to have been responsible for the extinction, during prehistory, of most of the like-size competing species. Families Soricidae (shrews) and Gliridae (dormice) apparently all were intelligent—and all are extinct. The mice managed to shift the blame to the rats, who as a result are a trifle bitter, though modern archaeological and sociological investigation largely has exposed the truth of the matter.
Everyone else are “biguns” or “bigums”, corruptions of the phrase “big ones”, of course. Adult fennecs and sand cats run in the three-foot range, plus or minus several inches. The other size categories are pretty mixed bags from a variety of taxonomic families—not entirely consistently, which has created one puzzle among many for modern geneticists and anthropologists. There are species in various size bands ranging up to eight feet. The biggest folk are elephants and not much else.
