Anybody own a pimp gun?

[SAFireman]

Well......I have to admit that I own two

The Colt is one that my dad found for me. My mother's father carried one like it in 32 Cal that he confiscated as evidence in a murder (it got ~lost, so I had to make do with what I could find). The second is an Armi Galesi that was my great grandfather's bench gun (he was a judge and carried it concealed in a leather glove), my dad relegated it to me as custodian. He never could get it to run quite right, but with some cleaning, tweaking on springs and mag lips, all is well now. I ran about 50 rounds through it to prove that it did actually work quite well. I have not ever carried it, but I just might one day (with my big hat, feather boa, and fancy walking stick).

I'm not one to chase after nickel finish with pearl stocks, but these have meaning to me.

Anyone else have a pimp gun?

Chip,

Is that the original finish? It sure looks fine! I should have brought some sun glasses.

I think I have the "Mother" of All Pimp Guns. Check this one out. Astra Model 400 with a case colored frame and an engine turned trigger and barrel. The screws and some of the other fittings have been gold plated.Why someone would spend that kind of money on something like this is beyond me.

Not yet but I am working on it.

Would a S&W Model 642 with pink grips qualify ?

As far as I can tell it's the original finish.

I have a Nickel plated Colt Police Positive (32 New Police Caliber) with real Mother of Pearl stocks. That's about as Pimp as it gets!

This isn't mine, but came up in an auction a couple of years ago...

This one IS mine, and I de-pimped it very slightly by removing the black (fake) MOP grips and replacing with walnut.

These are as pimpy as I get [emoji4]

Do I own a pimp gun???!!! You bet your bobsled I do! Heck! Doesn't everybody?

It belonged to my dad's Uncle Vern, a somewhat unscrupulous attorney who got disbarred for trying to bribe a jury back in the 1930's. He was also known to frequent the local brothels.

He gave this little .25 acp to Dad back in the early 1940's with this admonition, "Don't ever shoot anybody with it. You're liable to make 'em awful mad." I guess he was a real character, from what I hear.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this little pistol once resided in the bustier of some cat house madam.

Why would anyone remove those grips. That's flirting with disaster. The Pimp ANti-Defamation Association (PANDA) will be contacting you soon for defacing that pimp-alicious gun.

Some have said such about this one:

The bottom half got destroyed and it came back together with a more military-like appearance, but that gold trigger is forever.

Came across this bedazzled Taurus 85 at the shop.

Here's a couple: Llama 380 and a Clement Baby in 22 Short. The Clement was taken off someone coming into the country at Ellis Island in the 1920s.

My constant companion is a Glock 29 but when I get an invite to a Bar-B-Q I pull out one of the WWII Commemorative Colts.

If I was a real pimp I would get a double holster rig and carry them both.

I have been to to a couple of county fairs and a goat roping but I have never saw anything to beat the grips on that Walther. It should win first prize but to who ever owns it all I know to say is "bless your heart". Larry

I am a blue-steel-and-wood kind of guy.

This thread hurts my eyes.
