Boom!!! And a gold hi-point thread starts!!!
So, my dad is getting up in age with various health ailments. He's not big into guns anymore but does have one handgun left (loves his rifles and shotguns) and...it's a hi-point. He's had it for almost 20 years now and it has suited him well at the range. Ever since I could remember, he's wanted a gold handgun (James bond maybe???) and since I do vehicle wraps for a living I thought I could make his $100 gun make him feel like a movie star. I had to send it up a piece at a time and am waiting. For my brother to assemble it and get me some final pics back. But, for your viewing pleasure

Hope he shoots mostly from the shade. 
Good on you for giving Dad what he likes.

Now I know what I want for my next gun.
I wonder if they make gold leather dye?
Gotta have a matching holster and belt for it.

It is honestly the only birthday present I've given him that I've ever got any real kind of emotion out of...he was all giddy like a kid getting his first BB gun. Very cute (obviously in a very manly way!)

Well, he opted to not go with the gold grips because he has to have the rubber grip on. But it is together and it's the best looking hi-point I've seen 😜

Yes, reminds me of when I was 12 years old and I was invited to a dance at the "Hockaday"School in Dallas ,TX.
This is a super expensive girl's, teenage private school with the super high credentials.
My mother told me I MUST say something nice to every girl I danced with.
So, there I was, looking at the dancing, and a real fat girl came up and asked me to dance. So we danced.
So, I thought of something,,, I said, "you sweat less than any fat girl I ever danced with".
Always try and say something nice,,,if you can.

Reminds me of a $1,000, 20 year old car with $2,000 in tire & rims.
Rediculous, but neat none the less in its own way.

That would go great with the rims on my 64 Impala, my gold tooth and other bling.

I think it's great... not so much the gun (which is kind of neat unto itself with the two tone look), but what a son did to make his 'ol Dad happy on his birthday.
That speaks volumes... good job!!

"it's the best looking hi-point I've seen"....that takes a moment to sink in.
Kudos for making an old man happy!
