Gesichert

Gesichert is the German word meaning "secured".  In this case, it means that the gun's safety mechanism is engaged, but the possible implications of having the word "secured" on a firearm are numerous and enjoyable to contemplate.

    Hey thanks! I have actually used this macro shot setup a lot over the years. It is particularly well-suited to sharply angular items with a few interesting fine details (handguns, harmonicas, etc.).
