A Matched Pair…

I got an email from a very nice lady at Saddleback Leather down in Texas, wondering if I’d put up a link to a video they’d done…

Backstory from the nice lady-

 I work for a Texas-based company that makes rugged leather gear. We started doing product videos on our website about 3 years ago and it morphed into some pretty cool projects. One of those projects was short profiles on our employees. The first one was about a husband and wife who work here and their desire to have matching guns, so in case there were ever a crisis they could swap magazines.  (Smith&Wesson M&P9s) 
 
Well, it was submitted to Sundance Film Festival and out of the 8,100 short films, it was selected to be on of the 60 entries. Then YouTube has told us they selected it to be one of the 10 in the running for their special YouTube award. Now we want to put the idea of husband/wife gun ownership in front of as many eyes as possible.

No photographers were harmed in the making of this video… 🙂

That a video with guns and real people even made it to Sundance consideration just warms the cockles of my grouchy old heart…

Go take a look and comment please, let’s PROVE that the stereotypes about us are all wrong!!!

And Saddleback DOES make very nice stuff!!! I just wish I could afford it! 🙁

  1. I am a proud customer of Saddleback Leather. But matching handguns is gay.

    • how “gay” is it, really? can’t be THAT gay if the guy’s married to a woman.

  2. I find it interesting that when gun ownership is presented is such a low-drama manner with sound and reasonable explanations . . . it just makes so much sense! Great job by all involved!

  3. Yeahbut … one small quibble. At the 1:13 mark when they are swapping mags, it looks like the woman has her finger on the trigger.

    Other than that I give it ‘two thumbs up’.

  4. I was intrigued when I saw the title “matching pair”. Alas, it had nothing to do with female anatomy. Now I’m sad.

  5. LL/Laura- LOL

    Bill- I thought so too!

    Tim/Sarge- Yeah, noticed that…

    MJ- Sounds like a workable solution to me! 😉

    Murph- Sorry… 😛

  6. That a video with guns and real people even made it to Sundance…

    Surprise Я Us, too. I almost fell outta my chair and had to read the sentence again, just to make sure I read what I thought I read. I’m gonna have to be on the lookout for airborne pigs today.

  8. Great. Atrocious gun handling, fingers on triggers, point the guns at the camera. Just the way I want gun owners to be portrayed.
