It's finally getting to be BBQ Season again...

[DRYHEAT]

...in Arizona! Still a bit of Summer hanging on but time to get ready.
My small AZ BBQ sidearm:

S&W Model 60 S.S. .38 Spl. (shipped: 5/79) - sent to S&W Performance Center for mirror polish: 2006 - sent to Wayne D’Angelo Engraving: 2007 (D'ANGELO ENGRAVING - Home) - Mother of Pearl stocks

Anyone else getting *ready? Whatcha bringing?

*you don't have to be from AZ

Not easy to decide, I might go with this 586. Or maybe the 19-3 by Denise Thirion. Something blingy anyway.

Shipped 5/79?...Hmmm, is it OK if mine is aged a couple of decades longer?......Ben

I'll wear my 1911 (SAA that is.)

Dvus has the “correct” AZ BBQ sidearm as it IS the:

I have these 3 to pick from for the larger BBQ events...

...and sometimes a knife is required* too...

*i.e.: BIG Steaks!

Nice, don't think I've ever seen that model Randall before.

Depends on the BBQ, of course. Outside of a hardcore milsurp banquet, I think I'm covered pretty well. And I do have a Springfield SA35 if General Numbersmatching asks me to help with the catering or some such.

This one..

I don't have anything really blingy but any of these would do I reckon:

I actually wore that brace of Vaqueros to a FONRA dinner 20 or so years ago. A bunch of cowboy action shooters went, it was held at Southfork (the ranch in the TV show "Dallas"), we were all glitzed up in western duds and I capped off my outfit with these guns in cowboy action leather.

Barbecues in Kentucky tend to be on the casual side, but this doesn’t mean you can’t also be classy

It depends on the event

This Colt Gold Cup Commander, wearing African Elephant Ivory stocks from the Colt Custom Shop, has already been to four weddings, three funerals, and two inaugurations

For Smith and Wesson events I am extremely fond of this Engraved Lew Horton, Model 686. While not a factory engraved revolver, the workmanship really appealed to me. I found this at a FEGA engraver's table one year many decades ago

I have multiple holsters for both of these, made of various exotic hides, so that I can blend in no matter what I am wearing to the event

This Walther PPK was engraved for me by a retired LE Sergeant. I need to acquire a holster or two for it before I can take it to a BBQ

 

[DRYHEAT]

The only ammo (shot ctgs.) that may or may not be needed/used at a real outdoor AZ BBQ is just for 'certain' un-invited "guests"...

 

[444 Magnum]

I think either of these should be Arizona BBQ worthy.

The beautiful leather is complements of our own Bamabiker. He did a beautiful job replicating the floral scroll and matte background as seen on the Model 60.

This 1969 Colt Government in 38 Super needed some leather and, once again, Bamabiker exceeded my expectations.

Since I've been disposing of my collection the last couple of years, I don't have many to choose from, but this little Mod 60 wouldn't be too out of place.

What is the story on the leather? Very Nice.

Nice, don't think I've ever seen that model Randall before.

Is that what is called an “Arkansas Toothpick”?

[DRYHEAT]

boykinlp Thanks Larry. The holster @ belt is the only leather project I ever tried. I made it from a Tandy Leather kit when I joined S.A.S.S. in the mid '90's.
And yes, that is the Arkansas Toothpick, custom ordered. -Bill

Here's a few to cover all kinds of BBQ events.

From the big variety of truly great BBQ "hardware" it does look like a Super BBQ Season ahead!

FIRE UP THE GRILL!
