Engraving

[Chuck54]

Does anyone have photos of a fully engraved Kahr? If so who did the engraving.

[Chuck54]

Looked all over and cannot find any custom grips for the T9 either.



I guess I will not turn my T9 into a BBQ gun.

[jocko]

never seen a fully engraved Kahr. Maybe alittle would be OK but fully, leaves alot to be desired. Does the word Ghetto gun come into mind. I can't use that oter word that starts with a N.

If I ever own a T9, I'll make custom grips that will make you cry. But won't be anytime soon according to my financial advisor.

Not sure exactly what I want that is why I was asking for photos. I have never seen an engraved Kahr;curious to see some. I have seen all sorts of 1911s and HiPowers with engraving, some tasteful some over done.

[jocko]

I have been on here since day 1 and on this forum I have not seen a fully engraved kahr, . We have seen some nice/different slide work but again not alot. As nice a looking as the steel kahrs are. it is hard to beat the 1911's body's for good egraving work.

The greatone can make any steel kahr look like a million bucks with his grip work..

[muggsy]

I don't see any point in engraving a carry gun, but that's just me. To me a Kahr is just a tool.

If you decide to add a small amount of tasteful work on your Kahr, Cylinder and Slide will be glad to charge you a big fat price. http://www.cylinder-slide.com/mk9.shtml

I have been assisting a friend with arranging some pistol engraving, and we used Gray Laser Engraving.

http://www.graylaser.com/

Their pricing was quite reasonable and they can work from computer graphics files. Very quick service too. If what you want can be done via laser, I would give them a shout.

[JFootin]

Some guns look so good engraved. I can only imagine being able to afford one of these, and not be nervous about carrying it.

Ain't that gorgeous? ;)

[Bawanna]

Sweet Mary and Joseph, I want that! My ain't that pretty.

[TucsonMTB]

Hey! All it takes is more money than I will ever be allowed to spend on a 1911. :o

I can't even get approval for a well used, 60+ year old Garand. :rolleyes:

[Bawanna]

I'm a firm believer in if you want it bad enough, you'll find a way.

Took me 20 years to get my 42 Garand, it was a very nice day when it finally happened.

Right now I couldn't afford a magazine for that beauty let alone buy the gun but I'll find a way given time.

I figure you can spend wisely or waste money on stuff like house payments, food, gas, all that meaningless junk that just sucks your pay check dry.

[TucsonMTB]

Yeah . . . times are tough for too many people. I shouldn't complain.

u mentioned that. We had an old time movie star TEX TERRY who stared in over 150 movies with Gene and Roy, always the bad guy. anyway he had a tavern/restaurant called Tex Terry's place out in the countryt and he always drove a caddy hardtop with a Wincheser lever action chrome plated on each front fender and handguns for door handles. a hugh set of Bll Horns on the hood.. All white caddy but wit gold colored bumpers. He was sumpin else back in the day. He always walked around in his tavern wearing his cowboy outfit with dual holsters colts, asll chrome plated. He had alot of memorabilia from gene and Roy

I had a guy from Missouri (A member) did mine. It's a nypd k9, as a tribute to 9/11 coincidentally the gun's born on date.
I've since gone back to the Stock Black Kahr grips.

[downtownv]

Found the guy, see this post!

He can do anything fast turn around time I think he's a Jeweler that does laser engraving.

[Chuck54]

Thanks for all of the input guys.

I have looked at some beautiful pistols;Renaissance Grade Brownings,Colt 1911s and even some very nicely done Colt single actions. I guess I thought I wanted to personalize one of my handguns. After much thought; I don't open carry and don't go to any BBQs where anybody open carries and I don't dress in cowboy clothes so I think my money would be more wisely spent adding another Kahr to my inventory. Maybe a P9 or TP9 either would be lighter than the T9 and would give the PM9 a break from almost constant duty.


Thanks again
Chuck

I forgot, I do have a personalized handgun. It is a NAA Guardian fully melted,front and back straps stippled and the serial number personalized to my specification.

[Bawanna]

I think you need to get out to a few more open carry barbecues wearing cowboy attire. You'll feel a lot better.
Course this has absolutely no impact on getting another Kahr or pistol of any kind as it's probably poor etiquette to show up to the barbecues with the same pistol over and over and over again.

I'd engrave away and get personal myself.

[jocko]

question ol great one. Who would even invite u to a barbecue??? Just sayin.

Like puttin' a dress on a pig, ain't it Jocko? :)

[jocko]

My first wife was a pig and dresses just did not help. Just sayin

[Bawanna]

I never get invited so I have to host them, nobody, I mean nobody turns down free barbecue and beverages. Sometimes they even speak to me in a semi polite manner before they leave.

[TucsonMTB]

Although rumor has it Mr Surveyor (in Texas) throws some of the best BBQ's, Bawanna also has a standing invitation to ours (here in Tucson).

Hands down, Surv has the hottest chili. But, we make up for it with booze here at our house. :p

[Bawanna]

I'm leaving now, don't want to be late.

[mr surveyor]

wow.... engraving turned into cooking????? cool:D

I do love my peppers... everything else like beef, pork, birds (the eatin kind), crawfish, fish in general, tomatoes and any other edible vegetable, apples (I do love apple/jalapeno pie), water melon, water, air - all condiments (not the jocko kind) or ingredients to add to the peppers:)

I would like to have all my pistol slides engraved with the images of peppers

did we settle on an engraver?

[Bawanna]

I better keep heading for Tucson, I can't handle that hot stuff too good. My grandpa used to eat them things out of the jar, I went to taste one once and one single drop of the juice hit my tongue. We were at our cabin right next to a river. I wanted to go throw myself in, put a fire extinguisher in my mouth and swallow it. Thought I was surly dead.

[mr surveyor]

jocko... you sure you aren't thinking about them big pink after dinner mints they leave you in the bathroom stalls of the finer eatin establishments.... you gotta have a hammer to break off a chunk

[TucsonMTB]

We'll leave the light on for you . . .

[tv_racin_fan]

Bawanna you are cordially invited to BBQ at my home anytime you are in the area. You may open carry if you like and should you come unarmed an arm of your choosing (out of my stash) will be provided for the duration of your stay.

[wyntrout]

Those urinal mints might be healthier than the unwrapped ones in the bowl for exiting guests... many of whom don't wash their hands!:eek:

Hey Bawanna! If you forgot to pack your BBQ holster, we have you covered. ;)

[Tinman507]

My Lord, that's a gorgeous rig.
Just oozes classy.

[Bawanna]

I'm feeling hungry. And that is a classy rig too.

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen!

Despite the classiness, they still let me wear it to BBQ's and our annual Tucson Rodeo (http://www.tucsonrodeo.com/). http://home.mindspring.com/~justsomeguy/icon_lol.gif

My new desktop :)

[Bawanna]

That picture eliminates the need for them Cialis bath tub pills. If this last for more than 12 hours should I call my gun shop?

I'm gonna try the desk top thing too, not to be a copy cat or anything. Not sure I even know how but I gotta try at least until nap time.

[Chuck54]

Too much?

[jocko]

u just can't over engrave a colt..
