I though about pinning them, Charlie, but decided I'd try glue first and see how it holds up.
I used a 1/2" straight router bit and router table to cut the slot.
Then cut the uprights at 1/2" width.
It's a nice snug tight fit.
so with just glue, I don't "think" they'll go anywhere ...
from "memory" , the upright is appx 7" x 1 1/4 x 1/2 thick
The base is 4.5 x 9
the slot cut is 1/2 wide x 1.5 long
for the angle of the upright, I used my gun and simply eyeballed it for a level slide after applying glue.
Once I was happy the way the pistol stood, I removed the gun and let the glue dry.
Once dry, I took the stand to the table saw, angled the blade to same as upright and cut the back flush with the upright
you can see the flush cut angle a little better in this pic
BTW, I routed the edges of the base before I assembled and glued obviously.
they're a piece of cake to make the way "I" make them.
i sold a couple at the last gun show, so I need to make a couple more before next weekend
I can take pics of the process if anyone is interested, but there's really not much to it
.L.T.A.
