It came with the whole ensemble, Gold Dots, holster and all. (The combined value of the ammunition and holster probably surpasses that of the pistol, but eh.)



Grip screws? We don't need no stinkin' grip screws. The holes don't line up anyway, so we'll just leave that snapped on.



Chrome plated glory. Oh yeah.

Looks like a tack driver.

Pimpin' Ain't Easy!

Now you need a pimp hat to go with that gun and your bullet proof vest!

What is it? Some kind of bathroom fixture and a couple of PEZ dispensers?

I'm thinking that I need the whole suit. But there are so many to choose from. This one seems stylish without being too gaudy. http://www.pimphats.com/ecatal...o.php/products_id/82

If only my wife hadn't thrown away my fuzzy green plush pimp hat that I'd gotten from the dollar store.

And you traded for this, WHY?????

I ASSUME you didn't give cold, hard cash for everything. You would have been better off keeping the replica Zouave musket. At least that will kill game and is accurate.

Maybe you can use the chrome part as a mirror - you know, for the eye makeup.

Here's a group shot with similarly themed genre pieces -



For those not familiar with it, this is the famous (infamous?) Lorcin .25 automatic. These things strangely sell for 100 dollars or more on Gunbroker these days - minus the extras. This one cost me the equivalent of 60 dollars in .45 ACP FMJ.

I wanted to play with Duracoat but wasn't about to use something that I cared about. As soon as I find a deal on a set of pink grips (yes, they made them for these), this thing is going to be... I'm thinking maybe lime green and pink striped Zebra pattern.

First of course, I'll actually buy a box of .25 ACP FMJ and see if it can be made to function, and if so, whether it keyholes, etc. I've collected pocket pistols on and off for years. The previous owner had a few malfunctions, but the spring in one of the two mags is bad.

Oddly, a competing company with Lorcin at one point actually did offer one of these with an integral laser sight. Thus I'm thinking that a combination laser pointer LED light from the dollar store and some extra strength epoxy might be in order (perhaps that putty that they sell on late night TV) since it lacks an accessory rail.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but that gun is not approved for silhouette targets.. It has been known to tear up the chicken targets.....

By "tear up", I presume you mean lacrimation, as in crying with laughter...

Gator, I approve. I like oddball guns too. I'm not quite sure I'd have given up four boxes of .45 ball for it, but, well ... good on ya.

....be sure to wear your special Jackson glove on whichever hand and the rest of your frag suit....

It there a medication issue at your house?

Don't laugh at that gun. Wait for a gun buy-back and sell that *** for big bucks. I'm serious. February 9, 2008 in Oakland, California; they were paying $250 for a gun like that.

I found one of those in the back of a patrol car once during the check over before taking it out on patrol. I gladly turned it in. It would have made a good "throw down" though...

Doc Holiday would have been proud to carry that pistol when he was saying "you can be my huckleberry".

Gator, don't let these guys give you a bad time. Not a doggone thing wrong with that little pistol. Hell, she's even got two mags.

all you need is a 40oz St. Ides Malt Liquor and a pack of Newports and you be set.

Actually, that reminded me, I've got a chrome .25 Raven. 'Bout 10 years ago I was at a friends shop and noticed the pistol, I mentioned I was going to a juneteenth party that night and I really needed that pistol. $25 later it was mine. I tell ya, the fried chicken and moon pies just tasted that much better knowing I now owned a Raven!

You really don't need no stinkin' screws. A little strip of duct tape will hold those plastic ivories just fine and almost match the finish.

When I worked dope I had a very nice smooth old Model 10 with serious finish issues that I carried. I disguised the grip adapter by wrapping duct tape around the grip. Nobody ever mistook it for a cop gun.

ok going out on a limb, wife said no more guns, but I have to have that one,,,,ok my offer 5 bucks pre paid to me

It doesn't take much to please some folks, does it?

yashua

Now that you have a fine first line defense gun, you have to start thinking about leather. Galco or Bianchi; paddle or pancake; open top retention. What kind of carry load?

Nice piece.

Gator thats sure a cute pistol! But its a little too downtown for me. Enjoy all firearms . Mark
