  • Need help finding a 1911

    Buddy of mine is looking for a chrome and bright nickel plated 1911 that he's wanting to fix up for a BBQ/heirloom gun. Not exactly my thing but he's wanting one that he can fix up with some engravings that he can pass on to his son. Found him one on Gun Broker but the seller kicked him out on bidding on it because he is new. Any leads on one that is local? Any idea on when the next gun show is?

        Basically it's a gun you would open carry at BBQ's. Something fancy and not something you would carry regularly. Had another buddy of mine that had a fancy Sig 220 that was chrome plated and had some engraving work done to it. It was a pretty gun. Guess I can't afford a pretty gun, mine are all working guns.

          Do you brush sauce on it or something? Oh, and if I'm going to a BBQ, I'm drinking a few beers -- not the place to carry.

            I don't really drink much anymore and I'm always carrying my gun unless I'm at work.

              Well fuck my life! I guess A “BBQ GUN” is a real thing.
              On the same level as a savanna cat and a cow skin rug. Damn it now I want one.
              An old term from the Southwest that refers to a gun that is not worn daily. It won't have the scratches, wear marks, etc a daily wear gun would have. These guns were not something that were never used or "useless." In the time the term came about they were functional guns (sometimes, heavily modified for better accuracy/reliability/etc) that might have some custom engraving, polishing, or custom grips. They didn't make many guns purely for show - they made guns to use and users modified them for show. They were normally worn in tooled leather holsters as opposed to daily wear holsters - which were plain. In the revolver days (before semi-auto pistols) a church gun was a normal firearm as described above. After the semi-auto pistols arrived on scene this term applied to mostly Colt 1911's. Current times this can apply to any firearm that has custom work designed to enhance mainly appearance and, much of the time - functionality. However, this should not be confused with a (today's term) "bling gun" - which can imply that the gun is more for show than effectiveness. Or that the user is not proficient in its use because it is only worn on special occasions. In the Southwest BBQ's could be at a casual get together, a special event, wedding, or a different/very formal affair. Also known as a "Church gun," a "Court Gun," or "the 4th of July gun" (in Wyoming) for obvious reasons.

                          BBQ gun?

                          Is this some weird status symbol thing that's worthless, like having a pricey watch or expensive non-outdoor boots?

                          Is this some form of redneck gucci?
