It must be nice to be a billionaire.
Those are pretty nice looking guns though. I tend to like to use things when I guy them. I can see some billionaire getting them to display and never use.

[DerekP Houston]

I'd rather have a shooter than a display piece right now, but I'm still young things could change. Cool looking guns though out of my price range.

[Petrol & Powder]

Yea............I'll pass, thanks.

[OptimusPanda]

I think they're beautiful. The price tag is astronomical though.

[JSnover]

I guess if I had a few extra million I could say "I got one!" to hang on the wall.

"It’s relatively soft and full of inclusions,…"

[Hickory]

4.5 million dollars?
I guess they don't really want to sell them.

[500MAG]

Excuse me. Can I get a postal money order for $4.5 million?

[funnyjim014]

Well...if I had the coin to blow...I would absolutely shootthem...with cast of corse

If you were a billionaire, why wouldn't you shoot them? I sure as heck would.

"It’s relatively soft and full of inclusions,…"

I definitely would NOT.

[William Yanda]

I like the idea of a .45 for self defense, but I like the idea of 9mm for cheap shooting better. Almost twice as many boolets from a pound of lead. With that mindset, I guess I'll pass.

[DougGuy]

I have seen some cool as all getout 1911s, but these two, with their a-hem "other-worldly beauty" about them certainly top the list now.



"It’s relatively soft and full of inclusions,…"

I dediniyely would NOT.

No different than using poly for a frame with steel frame rails inset into the grip frame. The Gibeon 1911s have all the critical parts made of conventional materials. Springs, sear, hammer, hammer strut, pins, barrel, frame rails, barrel bushing, and I suppose the trigger bow and disconnector as well are all made of modern carbon steel OR stainless steels.

"Cabot’s small, highly skilled team used X-rays, 3-D modeling, electron-beam welding, EDM wire cutting, and endless hours of expert care to fashion the first-ever meteorite firearms. Just to be sure, Cabot built a stainless-steel clone to test its production processes and to avoid costly, even irreversible mistakes. “Not to coin a phrase,” says Rob Bianchin, founder and president of the Pennsylvania gun maker, “but we were sweating bullets. That first cut, when we sliced the meteorite chunk in two, was really scary.”
The only parts of the Big Bang pistol set that aren’t made of meteorite are the springs, sears, barrels, hammer strut, pins, screws, and slide rails. Everything else—slides, frames, triggers, magazine release, and grips—is pure Gibeon."

I can read thank you.

[JSnover]

All moot points, since it doesn't look like they're going to make any more of them.

I see what you did there :laugh:

If you are a billionaire the price is pocket money. It's the same as one of us buying a firearm. Actually probably less of a deal because we probably spend a higher percentage of our income on one. I would absolutely buy them. Along w/ some of the knives that are made out of meteorites as well.

[OptimusPanda]

Thankfully someone gets my humor. :D

[44man]

Some pot head would steal them and sell for a few baggies!
I read about an antique stolen and sold for $20, gun was worth a few hundred thousand.

[OS OK]

I'd be ashamed to admit that I spent that much on those. Only a fool with his money!

[500MAG]

Can you imagine spending that money on them and then they won't shoot cast? Noooooooo

[OS OK]

?---Neet pistol, can I hold it?
A---No, get back!
?---Can I shoot it?
A---No!
?---Why not?
A---I'm broke, can't afford ammo!

[mozeppa]

sorry guys ...i just had to have them.

the kids will get them as their inheritance.

but for now... i'll just shoot them.
