Mine would have to be my Colt SAA, 45 Colt. Was being worked on by Bob Munden the year he died so never completed the work obviously and with stocks by a local guy. Or my Ruger OM .357 converted to 44 Special by Ben Forkin with Turnbull case coloring and stocks by the same person.

Barbecue = fancy looking

Closest I get is a Dan Wesson CBOB with green Crimson Trace grips or my favorite S&W Model 69 with custom action tune and a Vortex Venom red dot. Custom holster to carry it. For me fancy is being able to sight well enough to be accurate.

When I can still make steel targets swing around at considerable distances it puts me into a party mood. cool

I don't shoot the Nickle SAA, it's going to be a gift to my grandson someday.
I do have a SAA in 44 Special that I do shoot, 7 1/2 barrel, nice trigger, but can't do what the 1911 can do.
The adjustable sights on the 1911 can be adjusted to shoot where you look, the SAA uses Kentucky windage, I guess if I shot it more I'd get use to where it shoots.

Hawk, that 1911 is superb. Browning is no slouch, either.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

All these could be used to shoot anyone showing up with a Glock.


Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

dla: I have been around firearms (mostly Rifles and pistols - with just a smattering of shotguns!) for well over 60 years (probably shot my first 22 at 5 years of age - so 70 years now!) and I have NEVER heard, or seen in print, the term "Texas barbecue pistol"!
And I have been to both private and professional barbecues in Texas.
So, please, fill me in on what you think a "Texas barbecue pistol" is.
Maybe I have one?
TIA

It's basically a fancy gun you open carry only during a backyard BBQ get together .
