Happiness is a new gun 2

Ooh, that rose gold Sig looks nice! I like that it's not a feminine rose gold, like iPhones. But they didn't have to stamp "rose gold" on the slide, or "special edition." That detracts from it, in my opinion. The color and engraving jillifrass scream "special," it doesn't need the words.

I would agree. Billboards, especially those that spell out what is already perfectly clear are not necessary.
On a side note I've yet to warm up to some of the S&W 1911's because of their "this gun capable of firing without the magazine" or somesuch printed in white on the frame. And while you would think it's just some legalise, they don't feel the need to print it on every other gun they produce. Maybe I'm old and set in my ways but to me 1911s, and others, are best when understated. I mean people who lean toward them are knowledgeable enough not to have a user manual printed on the gun.

One of the Springfields says on the side that it’s loaded. I guess that’s the beginner’s model, if you haven’t learned all the gun safety rules yet.

My apologies to Springfield, it was actually S&W 1911's that I was referring to. I've corrected my earlier post. Here's a couple of examples of "busy" billboard guns, and mostly useless magazine warnings

Notice on the second pic it's one of their Pro Series guns. Shouldn't pros know their gun is lacking a magazine disconnect? I've come close to ordering both, but ultimately was put off by all the print on their slides and frames.

Magnum Research has a billboard on the side at first.
Only got a part of it in this photo.


Fortunately they toned it down a bunch in later models. Billboard or not, that first one is still hands down one of my most accurate 1911's. She's a shooter for sure, one of them that makes me look good even on my usual bad days.

This is how I like 'em if at all possible. As I'm sure most of us do. Last one's tongue in cheek, but I still like it

Never had a burning desire for a Desert Eagle, just too big for my girlyman hands. But if I had the loot, I'd get that one.

In 50AE.

I'm not sure I'd have the courage, er gads, to fire one Colonel. I've always been pretty much intimidated by 50 cal. Same with Dirty Harry's caliber of choice.

Figured something like that I probably wouldn't and couldn't afford to shoot much.

I too have kind of drifted away from big recoil. In my younger days I was a 44 guy all the way. Wheel guns of course.

Haven't shot them in years, but the desire to knock the dust off and light em off has reared it's beautiful head recently. That plus I got a hankering for another Henry, one in 44 mag or possibly 357. Not sure why, just cuz I guess.

Last few weeks I have gone a bit crazy........bought a Taurus snubbie (crazy good trigger pull), S&W 638, H&R 20 gauge (those last two for my wife), and I have a S&W 1911 PD (5 inch) with light rail coming.

Been more and more into light rails here lately. Saw a video online where I could see the value of a light on a handgun. Decided to act on it.

Trying to source a holster for a lighted 1911 here lately.
