44 AMP,
What nefarious job do you have that has you handling plutonium nitrate? lee, I think Springfield should label all parts of its guns. If Slim wants to gift me a blue and matte TC Contender I'd shoot it with pride. I like its looks. I also wouldn't turn down a CZ Parrot, but I don't have the skill to make it perform like it should. I understand Taurus quit making the View because the clear elements quickly obscured with burnt powder residue. I'm surprised test firing the prototype didn't demonstrate that flaw. |

Not as bad as the Hi-Point, but still tacky as all Hell.
Actually my LGS had one of these in 3-4 months ago...... and it almost came home with me.

Limnophile,
Did you spend more in the paint than the gun? Kinda reminds me of the guys that spend 3k on chrome spinners for a '85 Chevy Lumina. |

I don't have a tacky gun, although I've considered putting red rubber grips on my CZ 75 Compact. |

While other than being an assault on my sense of good taste, I have no personal objection to you making your gun as tacky as you wish. However, I am now wondering if something like that might not be a good idea in a gun that may be used defensively. Guns with skulls, black widows, "kill em all" slogans, and even guns with "dangerous" sounding names have been ridiculed in court by prosecutors, as reflections on the owner's character and judgment. So a tacky-cool gun might make you seem to be someone you aren't, in the minds of a jury. Remember that while a witness giving testimony is under oath, the prosecutor is not.

Understated elegance of a zombie themed Hi-Point. That color isn't just horrible comparatively, I guess, but your statement on one of these things is hilarious.

while not my personal style, I actually find the ruger more tasteful than the Hi Power covered in multi color vomit.
