I would just stay with the peg-board and dowel rod concepts ....and for shorter or smaller handguns ...put trigger area over one rod ...and have a pair of dowel rods - one above the barrel & one below - so it will rest in between - so the rod captures the front end of the gun.

Some may rest on top dowel ...some on lower dowel ...maybe angle the nose of the gun a little up or down - depending on the look you want - and where the specific gun balances.
