Well call me what you want, but I've always gone in for the nickle .38 Super.
The first 1911 I ever saw in the flesh and held in my hand was a nickle .38 Super...it was kinda love at first sight.

I think BbQs and 1911s are a natural pair ... Add a hand-tooled belt holster, snakeskin boots, a white cowboy hat and aviators and you've got it covered. BINGO!

This 1917 would be my snazziest gun I like that!

Mine would be the same 1911 I carry nearly every day.
As a little kid growing up here in TX, I was always fascinated by the old time TX Rangers, who mostly carried Ivory gripped custom engraved1911's in a floral carved El Paso Saddlery Tom Threeperson's holsters.
If you ever get a chance to visit the TX Ranger Museum in Waco, TX, they have on exhibit some fine examples of old 1911's that were actually carried by Rangers. I thought most carried SAA's, more of them in the museum than 1911's.

It would be my 44 Special that Alan Harton built for me 12 or so years ago. It's on an OM 357 with the top strap welded in and re-machined with an OM Single Six contour and rear sight. The front sight is one I sketched up. It is a 4 5/8" piece with Turnbull case colors on the cylinder frame. Beautifully made fancy walnut grips that my middle son found the blanks for in his Calgary high school wood shop. A work of art that I have carried elk and mule deer hunting.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

I thought most carried SAA's, more of them in the museum than 1911's. I grew up as a kid in the 1960's. None of them were carring a SAA of any kind, by that date in time. As I said, most in That era carried a 1911.

….not sure if this is a BBQ gun or just a pimp gun, but it's the one I'd probably go with …… a Third Model Hand Ejector in .44 Spl.

Nothing like showing off your Colt SAA w/ ivory while you're wolfing down some pulled pork.

I think proper wood is important to any BBQ function! These are Mesquite Burl made for me by Zane Thompson in Johnson City, Texas. Mesquite makes any BBQ better! Lipstick on a pig.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
