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.
Wilson combat just came out with one.

It’s not just that Wilson combat. It could be a cheap $200 gun. As long as it’s really bright. It doesn’t need to be a functioning gun. Just nickel plated preferably with gold accents and maybe some Bright ass grips. BBQ gun is actually a kinda social a thing.

Nick Cage did this about 22yrs ago.
I have Kimber that's probably my nicest gun, but it is still made to do a job and I don't need it gold plated to do what I need it to do.
I saw the entire video, very impressive to bring that piece of iron back to life, I would have liked to see it shoot a round thru it though...Last edited by Rick Modena; 05-11-2019, 12:26 PM.Originally posted by SilverbackLook all you want, she can't find anyone else who treats her as bad as I do, and I keep her self esteem so low, she wouldn't think twice about going anywhere else.
