I am personally not offended by the sight of bare breasts. I may, however, find myself unable to resist the impulse to stare.

Looks like he's wearing a size too small. I suspect the catalog photogs do this to get an appropriate amount of shirt cuff showing at the wrist.

It is a magazine for the purpose of loading a magazine. A clip holds cartridges ridgedly by the rim.

I must have missed the announcement. Sorry I missed the party!
