Ugh...this is my idea of an attractive pistol, so you can understand how I don't find that very appealing.

To each his own, I suppose. I know there will be quite a few that don't think the G19 is very appealing aesthetically, but I dig it. I look at that tarted up 1911 and all I can think of is "cash for gold.com!"

Agent 007,
I actually saw one of these, used, for $650 at a local shop.

Even though I thought the price was a little high, I REALLY had to use some will power (and an interest in something else at the time) to keep from putting it in layaway or breaking out the plastic.

Reminds me of the Romeo&Juliet guns.

(Ha Ha, that link is the first hit when using "romeo juliet guns" in Google images!)

But really, what else would you carry to CARNIVAL!

What? No Glock FOHHHH-TAAAYS in the ghetto!?

Guns of that configuration, in 38 Super, as that on is chambered in, are popular in Mexico. Not sure why it would be correlated to New Orleans or to Pimps. Its very common to find polished 38 Supers with mother of pearl gips in the collections of 1911 owners too.

I believe the reference to a New Orleans Street Pimp comes from a quote from Gen Patton about Pearl Grips...

HiPoint may be a cheap gun, but never seen one in the ghetto. Now, the lorcin and jennings, yes. Also see quite a few glocks. The drug dealers and wannabes steal and sell car stereos and wheels so they can afford the more expensive stolen glocks.......

To me a gun is suposed to be a tool, not a piece of art work. I mean would you want a chrome, or gold knife?

Sure why not!

Tools can be art. As a matter of fact your choices in weapons that you own is mainly on how they look. So why should they not look good. Are these tools any less deadly than what you carry?

And I suppose you would argue that cars are only for transportation and how they look does not matter in what you drive...

 

[buzzard pickins]

Yes, I have seen 1911 in the getto, my dear Watson. As my home office is in the heart of Indpls finest. IT IS STRAPPED TO ME.!

I have a dark blue Taurus Judge with gold accents and I think it's beautiful. I think the 1911's are very nicely done as well. I've always liked a little flash.

I like the IVORY handle stuff. It was good enough for George Patton.

No, but it would not be driven every day. I do not want an ugly gun, gut nothing fancy either. Just a personal prefrence. I buy guns to shoot, not for a show pice.

I looked it up.
Patton took violent offense at any reference to his pistols being pearl handled. He said, "Only a pimp in a New Orleans whorehouse or a tin-horn gambler would carry a pearl-handled pistol." In no uncertain terms he would have the offender know that his revolver was indeed "IVORY-***-*******-****-HANDLED" and with that he would turn on his heel and leave.

Today they would bust Patton down for being "Politically Incorrect"
