Due to my birthday my family decided to bring the whole kit out!! We did forget to take shots of the 5 long guns but here is the picture with the handgun armory!!






It was a good day!! Also it does take a real man to shoot a pink gun smile

Excellent way to spend the day. Glad your family was able to do something together.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

So you weren't a little concerned that they wanted to take a guy named Bulletstop to the firing range? biggrin


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

Tell me you didn't shoot the 'pink' gun.

Ya know...that pink doesn't come off.
I'm serious.
Don't touch it.

When my daughter bought her Kimber, she told me she wanted a pink one, screwing with me, I think.
I told her if she bought a pink gun, I wouldn't let her shoot it up here.
I wanted to shoot it too.....and I knew, the pink 'DOESN'T' come off your hand......lol.

She got the 'SS' Kimber. wink

Great gun. The Sig is or was my daughters. I have to admit, it is growing on me, not the color mind you, just the firearm. it to me is better then the walter. I had planned on changing the furniture, but I have a grand daughter and I think it will be fitting to teacher her on it smile.
So would it be wrong to get some hello kitty decals for it, roflmao!! I have to say it is more accurate then the Walter P22. I really like Kimber's, I shot a Custom II and it was a tack driver. It looks like your daughter ahs serious taste my friend.

Did you check your hands for the 'pink' tint?

It doesn't rub off......'EVER'.

Yeah, seriously, that Kimber 'IS' a tack driver.
For a short bbl....it's amazing.
As accurate as my Colt Series 70' which has a longer bbl.

Nice weapon. And at .45 cal...it'll stop 'em with the 'first' shot... wink
Something I insist upon...when staying alive is important.

Murphy,
I hear that. Why 45, becuase they don't make a 46. Why 45, because shooting twice is silly,lol!! I have to say the sig is a nice 22 however I may see if I can get that furniture changed out for something like basic black. Og any thoughts about changing that sig to a more manly look,lol..

I just cant get comfortable with these designer colors. And pink is just so ... wrong.

But I'm an old school dinosaur.


Edited to correct the darned auto-correct on my IPad which corrects things so that they are wrong.

Yea, that is the wife's it is a great pocket gun for her. It is a Ruger LCR 38 Special. I really have a hard time with it. However the wife shoots it like she stole it smile. Thanks for the birthday wish too smile
OG it was my daughters and she sold it to me cheap. I really like but I have to get the pink off it. Basic black is how I like most my firearms, except the SR 1911's. They are tack drivers..

Yeah, black, Parkerized grey, burnished gunmetal, or Blued ; everything else is heresy. Except for those beautiful case hardened - they are wonderful. But all this designer coloring leaves me cold.

Send it to me. I'll strip and refinish it. Do anything else you would want as well.

Oh I don't know, Purdey's damascus finish is quite nice. Might need to sell the house to buy one though smile

But why 'pink'? Or for that matter, any one of those bright neon colors ? Makes the gun look like a toy, or a training replica and that's the last thing I want with any firearm.

I can just understand if people camo it with cerakote or somesuch but not sure the reason behind a pink gun.
