I can sort of get the drift...I can see that they sometimes tend to be over-the-top, or ornate, even rococco, or (dare I say it) pimpish, at least the more highly engraved or flashy specimens, or maybe it is more Sunday-Go-to-Meeting fancy...help me understand this phenomenon, and how it came to be....
not being judgmental here, I have a couple which might qualify, i love to take them out and fondle them, but don't shoot them much...

Well Sir,

For lack of a better term, most the men folk I know carry a sidearm for work or sport just about everyday. When we all get together for a little ice cream social or maybe some B-B-Q Brisket or Ribs, trimmings and southern sweet iced tea we wear our favorite handguns.

You never know when a friendly shootin' match might break-out down by the corral.
And a little money might change hands as well. I'll tell ya a good time is always had by all.

So sometime give it a try...

Su Amigo,
Dave
