My two prized possesions. A matched pair of engraved, rebuilt Colt .45s with stag grips. Vintage 1920 and 1957 in a B-western rig I built in the late 80's. an old poor photo but you know what? Holsters still fits!

Closest thing I have to a bbq gun is this shiny nickel 70s vintage Python. Christmas present from my sweet wife about 10-12 years ago, along with a EP Saddlery Threepersons holster.

You again?!! I love that whole outfit, feral. The rig I made in the reply above is my one and only two-tone dye jobs. I'll never get bored looking at that Alphonso masterpiece.

YES! That's what we need- a vintage leather thread.
Alfonso did beautiful work.
So did Ojala. Anybody have some work by the old Hollywood masters?
Anybody ever see Arvo's beautiful daughter working a show with him?

I think this is the best post war colt single action. A 1873-1973 44-40 Centennial. Black powder frame and etched barrel. I took a big saved pile of beer cans in and got about $125. Then stopped in the gunshop where I got this gun and bought the pearl grips for $80. The gun cost $1200 out the door about two years ago.

BBQ guns? Origin of term...???....
Here in Maine we have clambakes, not BBQ's, and people don't generally come armed to a clambake, so I ask from ignorance, what is the origin of the term " BBQ guns", and how would you define, in words, the term? 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

The only two guns I have that could qualify..... The nicest 1903 I've ever seen (that I all but stole from Cabelas). And my, custom built by me, Fusion LS in .38 super. Hard chrome with black nickle appointments.

Bar B Q rig
This may not qualify as a Bar B Q gun, but it's what I got, if I ever get invited to go to a Bar B Q. A 6" mod.27-2 nickle. wearing grips borrowed from another 27, until I get a proper set for it, Ivory, ebony, or such. The leather is an old George Lawrence, modified to fit.

Don't have a picture of this one with the leather, but it looks just like Iggy's above. We both got 'em from a high-end leather craftsman!
