What do you all think about PINK guns?

[Osobuco]

I am sort of disappointed some makers are making pink guns... makes them look too much like toys.

If it helps get women into shooting, I'm ALL for it!

Pink will soon overtake Black as the new tactical must-have color of choice.

It will be known as evil Pink in the not-so-distant future as well.

I like pink. It throws my would be attacker off about my sexuality and choice of decor while I line my sights up

I don't have a problem with it. If the owner is responsible, it should be no more accessable to a child than any other gun.

Love them. I built 2 pink AR15s for my daughter. Her little Ruger 10/22 and the Taurus PT111 pistol came from the factory pink. I also have yellow, purple, blue, etc etc . . . My whole family shoots. Why do you want to limit the choices of people. Henry Ford said that you could buy any color Model T as long as it was black. Seems to me even he changed his mind.

No reason that PISTOLS have to be black or Stainless Steel. No reason tactical type guns must be black. No reason hunting rifles must be walnut and blued steel.

Pink guns are fine for other people to own and shoot. I asked my wife if she wanted a pink gun and she says that I will be the first thing to get shot with it if I come home with a pink gun.....I think she was joking

No issues with pink here. Plenty people dress up their guns with all kinds of bits of stuff that don't really serve any functional purpose just because they like the way it looks. Not my cup of tea, but knock yourself out.

My Grandma wants one for herslef. SHe's been looking for a home defense firearm and likes the 870 at Gander with the pink wood stain. Heck, I like it.

If you scroll a little bit down the page you'll see 3 hello kitty guns. If you take the hello kitty stuff off the AK it looks really cool. lol.

My friend who is a cop uses a pink Charter Arms as a BUG and also has pink handcuffs. She loves to hook up the drunks with the pink cuffs

Could the manufactures be making a statement that it isn't the color of the firearm that makes it "evil"? Like black firearms are the most dangerous because the color causes them to become evil criminal weapons. They would have tried "Evil White" but that is also used in snow areas, so pink was the next choice in the anti-black movement.

Wasn't sure if I wanted to make the above purple because I am have believing the pink movement is a great in your face to those who hate firearms because they are black!

Dude, that's awesome

My wife got a Kahr CW9 that I basically bought in black and stainless. Two weeks later she saw a pink Taurus and bought that with her own money because she "had to have it!" If it gets someone involved or interested, I am all for it. I just make sure I only shoot the pink one when I am alone.

Thanks, my daughter was about 12 when that photo was taken. That was her first pink rifle. After that I made up several other colored guns.

Here are 3 more, all of these are built on fully polymer Cavalry Arms lower.

And these 3 are somewhat more traditional.

On the left is a Ruger 10/22 with pink laminated wood stock:

Her first pistol was pink too:

Love it nice post don't care what color the gun is if it stops the bad guy

I don't like most pink guns because like the OP, I think they look too much like toys.

This one's pretty badass though..

Probably the only pink gun I would ever buy.

 

[theweakerbrother]

I would carry a pink one. I've been known to carry a gold one.

Many women love them. I've seen women at the store totally bored while their hubby looked at guns, till I pointed out the pink ones. Sold a few that way.

Of course, many women hate them. My wife has informed me that if I ever buy her a pink gun, she'll shoot me with it LOL.

My niece LOVES the pink guns.

Wifey loves a purple gun. Guess what color her AR-15 is?

Two women that wouldn't ordinarily be "into" guns, but the colors initially drew their attention. I'm not complaining. That makes two women that can and will defend themselves in a bad situation.
