    How to store or display pistols?

    Hi,
    I am asking on the collectable area as I know that some people on here have several pistols (ahem just incase your keeping your addiction secret) and wondered how do you display or store them? I am not a pistol fan or even a decent shooter of them but this year I have acquired 3 or 4 tipping my non collection into double figures. Currently I have the blighters in a drawer which does not feel right, does anyone display them and how? Or do you store them? Again how do you do this please?

    Various displays here to help with ideas.

    Zuke and Frank had/have superb displays I recall, but there are many others:

    Yes! I'm very envious of that collection. I actually visited the collector years ago and foolishly just photographed his BSA rifles. Doh!
