March 17, 20188 yr I wanted to put my handguns on these wallmounts https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SG3VJC6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 But i'm worried that over time it might bend or shift the barrel or something. I'm sure it's fine but what do you guys think about just having it hang on the wall with that sticking in the barrel?
March 17, 20188 yr No, the handgun would not be damaged. If you are intending to just hang them on the wall to display them, I would strongly advise against it! It's nobodies business which guns you own and displaying them in such a fashion could very well come back to bite you in the butt! Do what you wish but I would NEVER advertise what I own!
March 17, 20188 yr It will not bend or shift the barrel at all. But I would worry about scratching the bore or chamber; even though they claim that their powder coating will protect it. I would probably slide a piece of tubing over it just to be sure.
March 17, 20188 yr Author thanks for the info! i keep them all locked in a very secured walk-in closet, but I do display them nicely in there for myself to look at! 1 minute ago, RichP said: It will not bend or shift the barrel at all.

Is simply being very careful when I take it on and off a good way to prevent scratching it?

They are definitely fine for that use in an area that is secure and out of public view. You will not damage the guns in any way.

Obviously not every Tom, Dick, and Harry, but people I know and other collectors have seen my collection. I have nothing to hide. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
March 17, 20188 yr So the days of this is no longer allowed or permissible? Who says it isn't permissable. And it is refreshing to see a display that doesn't include tacti-cool plastic firearms. Come to think of it none of my plastic firearms are on the wall. They only make up 3% of my collection and none make the cut.Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

March 18, 20188 yr I have at least a dozen in my safe. No probs. They are coated and safe.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
March 18, 20188 yr Author so you're telling me its perfectly okay to keep them hanging like this indefinitely? Don't have to worry about the barrel becoming tilted upwards or something? Sorry if this sounds paranoid but I just want to keep them in the best condition possible. https://ibb.co/iKvVZc https://ibb.co/ccv8LH edit: also that's a pinned mag on the stag, don't jump on me

Look what those damn rods did to my M&P! It shoots a little high now so I just have to aim for the bad guy's feet!

I don't like the racks that hold a bunch of handguns at once, I just want 2 separate handgun display mounts right now

There is NO chance that any handgun would ever be damaged. those rods would bend long before the barrel ever would!

Sometimes unlike metals can react when touching for a long enough time and cause damage or pitting. I'm not a Metallurgist and don't play one on TV but I've seen this happen.

I do have a Sig P938 and a Beretta that have the same tilt but are NOT striker fired. For a really compact 9mm, I highly recommend the Sig P938.
