Looks pretty neat, actually.

Couple tips:
- Try not to actually model on letters. It wastes polies and can be easily done with textures.
- Model the grip in a way that it would be nice and easy to hold. I think curvy like that would hurt the user's hand.
- Always keep scale in mind. That trigger housing looks mighty small.

Shooooooooooooooooooow topology. (wireframe on shaded)

I'm not going to add my vote to the poll (not enough answer choices), but you could really try using some ideas from actual guns. A gun handle curved like that would plain hurt. The trigger is nearly impossible to actually get to (maybe your pinky will get in there!), and the trigger guard is quite thick. Once you can get the gun fixed on those things, and make the actual top assembly less cube-ish, it'd look like a nice gun model.

I really hope you didn't model in that lettering though... a Texture would make that work and not tax your computer anywhere near as much as a single poly more without that lettering.

For a very first model, I am really impressed! My first model was nowhere near as good as that!

Working on the model every day.
Letters are 2D image like thingy.
About wireframe, hmmm i'm afraid to show it to you, cause i used untraditional modeling method, to make model easily modifying and universal.
BTW can someone give me a tip how to open ballistic weapons, to compare my models by poly count and overal detail ?

Hey that looks very neat. Do you use booleans?

No one uses booleans, unless you use max and the plugin powerbooleans.
