So what is YOUR definition of a BBQ gun?

[doublesharp]

Didn't we just discuss this

This is my all purpose .357

Would this 4 screw .44mag get me a plate?

This .44 don't weigh much so I can eat more.

Can ya get in with a brand X?

Why's it called a 'BBQ Gun'?

 

[feralmerril]

Billy Bob`s quick gun.

Why's it called a 'BBQ Gun'?

When them folks down in the SW decide to scorch a little beef and have a snort or two, they polish their boots, slick back their hair if they got any left and wax their mustache.
They straps on their "spiffyest" Brill or Uncle Tio rig and stuff in the shinyest gun they own.

Then they strut around whilst the meat's a burnin' and decide amongst themselves who gits the braggin' rights until the next big beef burnin' takes place.

Now bein' from Wyoming, I ain't got a clear pictcher of all of the in's and out's of all of this goin's on, but I think mebbe you can get an idea of what's it's all about.

This wouldn't cause much of a stir in Texas, but it'll dazzle them in Wyoming.

I feel that any of these fine revolvers will qualify...

A BBQ gun is a "Sunday go to meetin'" gun, not necessarily for shooting, but just for showin' off. I have a few that might qualify.

First, a couple of Model 27-2s; a 5-inch nickel and a 3.5 inch blued:

This should impress the rank & file:

This pair of custom Ruger Vaqueros usually gets the "old west" crowd going:

This Kimber .45 is one my favorites:

This nickeled Python gets an admiring glance now and then:

Excuse me, do you mind if I park my Thompson here on this table while I mosey over to the grill?

Funny you should ask about this one - my uncle got it from a rather unwilling Japanese soldier on Guadalcanal one afternoon. Don't you like its looks?

Japanese Type 94 Nambu pistol, made in September, 1941. Don't you like its classic flowing lines, exquisite finish and stylish grips?????

Mr Ruger liked it enough to copy it.

It's a beauty.I really think the trigger return spring sets it apart from all of the others.
Good thing that fellow didn't get a chance to use it on your uncle.My great uncle brought back a Luger.That's what makes these guns so special,Our uncles made it back.

Yup, we use them for Marryin's and Buryin's too.

 

[Muley Gil]

Well, it ain't real fancy, but how about the 1926 .44 Special with the lowest known serial number? It was shipped to Wolf & Klar on January 27, 1927. It was one of 75 and all were 5" nickel.

I was at the annual Colt Collectors meeting yesterday in KC and I can tell you I have never seen as many "Barbecue Guns" in one place. All kidding aside it was very impressive and like collectors everywhere a great bunch of people to be around and visit with. A couple of us did lower our voices a little and used the S&W word as well. It is interesting how many of us like and collect both.

 

[Alpo]

I tend more towards quiet elegance.

Dressed nicely.
