    Call me old fashioned but I would much prefer a plain gun that shoots well. Too much bling for my taste like a pretty girl with silicone implants; just spoils the whole thing.

    Me too. I'd be afraid to shoot most of them. Not that they wouldn't shoot, but they'd get less in value. Rather have a 'plain jane' that shoots well than one of those. But they do take a lot of skill to do.

    I already have one blue and one stainless Walther PPK in 380 caliber. Both are fine handguns. I would sure like one all dressed up, scrolled over, and sporting those fancy grips.

    Like the local Texas Sheriff arriving at the Debutante Ball carrying twin chrome, ivory handled, 45 Colts in a heavily scrolled, handcrafted, ornate leather holster, and the Hostess exclaiming, "I see you came armed for trouble," to which the Sheriff replied, "No Ma'am. If I knew there was going to be trouble, I would have brought a shotgun."
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    There is def a difference between a shooter and a show gun which is what these are. I think some of these look really sexy but as others have said before me I want to shoot my guns so a show guns arent for me.

    If I were to win the lottery, I would like to have one fancied up gun. But since that won't happen, I'll be satisfied with my users, a couple of which haven't been used enough to have character yet.

    I have guns at all levels including a number of custom guns and engraved ones. All have seen the hunting fields. You don't have a custom gun built or engraved to make them shoot better. You have them done because you love them. Meticulous craftsmanship, huge respect for the talent involved. Blued steel and deluxe wood perfectly finished and checkered. A work of art that is immensely usable. Everyone I know who has such guns do use and shoot or hunt with them regularly. They are not safe queens......I don't own one of those. They were built for me to shoot so I shoot them. Some of those shown I like Ok and others I don't care for but acquiring what you want is how it works.

    My brother came up with a fully engraved S&W Combat Masterpiece. He would not let me shoot it or buy it because he knew I'd shoot it! He sold it in 5 minutes at the gun show to a collector.

    I love beautifully engraved firearms. Many in those were overdone for my taste. More than enough is not always better. Some were downright ugly to me. Some were just plain guns with a light hanging off of them. They might be all tricked out internally but they’re boring on the outside.

    Not for me
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    If I have enough money to buy one of those, I would not, but, they are fun to look at.
