Progress.

I'm trying as much as possible to keep separate parts of the gun separate objects, for example, in this picture there are three: grip, trigger guard, and trigger. It makes it less stressful to model and I think it'll end up looking better in the end as long as there aren't tiny overlap issues (like the grip and the trigger guard. It may look like an issue, but I left a bit of an overlap on purpose, but if it ends up looking like that everywhere it'll be bad news).
