My Lord...got a chuckle...then got sick

BerdanSS · February 20, 2013, 09:35 AM

Need I say more?

Purdy pistol though.

jaguarxk120 · February 20, 2013, 09:57 AM

Couldn't see much of it Barf-Barf-Barf, after I cleaned my screen with Windex I can now see the thing. Yes it's a nice pistol but that thing growing on top is hideous.

Won't last long after the powder fouling coats it and corriosion sets in.

I'm an IT guy myself, but I gotta say some folks are just too hung up on trying to take something that runs on batteries and stick it to anything they pick up.

Rigmarol · February 20, 2013, 11:29 AM

Did anyone see Cowboys and Aliens? This might have been left behind...

Pahoo · February 20, 2013, 11:54 AM

Yes, this one makes me shake my head. I'm always turned off when I see an older sidelock that has been drilled and tapped for a scope mount but that is where we were, before in-lines. I had a very early TC Hawken model come back to me and the guy had actually mounted a lazer on it. what a shame. .....

Be Safe !!!

I am in a precarious position between bubba and purist. I am all for doing what you want with your own property and if you like it then I have little right to make insulting remarks about the way you spend your money...

...however, I also believe that form and function should go together, even if that pistol were a reproduction(and I'm not expert enough to tell the difference) the holo sight just doesn't match the rest of the gun.

Old Grump · February 20, 2013, 01:53 PM

No, no thousand times no.

Well if you must but please don't post it again and don't shoot it in my backyard.

deerslayer303 · February 20, 2013, 02:03 PM

WOW, I always say each to his own. But I have to say, people will try to "tacticool" anything

Sure Shot Mc Gee · February 20, 2013, 02:28 PM

Yes Sir. That's different. Got to pause a minute and wonder about this one?_

shortwave · February 20, 2013, 03:46 PM

Momma always told me if I couldn't say anything positive, don't say anything.

I think this is one of the times she was talking about.... so I'll just say this...

After a couple of quick shots, there's gonna' be so much smoke, that fancy scope will be useless.

Beagle333 · February 20, 2013, 07:59 PM

Oh, that's hideous! The horrors of owning such is just.... just... well.... I don't have the words! Oh wait... what's that little thing bolted to the top of it? A scope or something?

robhof · February 20, 2013, 08:56 PM

The owner better watch out or the anti's will call it an assault weapon and have it declared illegal.

Is that thing fer real????
What is the owner trying to prove?

North East Redneck · February 21, 2013, 05:38 PM

That's, uh, different....

And I thought AR's with all the crap (multiple lights, lasers etc) hanging off of them were silly. But this one beats all for being tactiUNcool.

JWT · February 21, 2013, 06:17 PM

One question: Why??

Doc Hoy · February 21, 2013, 07:38 PM

Was it the 1858 with a brass frame?

Was it the twelve inch barrel?

How about the target sight on the muzzle?

Was it the optics?

BerdanSS · February 21, 2013, 07:57 PM

A red dot on a 58 (or any BP reproduction) makes me heave Doc....can't figure why, it just does. While I'm not a fan of brass framed colts (the looks) I do like the '58 "buffalo gun".

Me likey the long barrel...been toying with the idea of getting a buntline for years now.

Slamfire · February 21, 2013, 08:19 PM

When you get too old to see the front sight and target, you get innovative.

Logan5579 · February 21, 2013, 08:23 PM

Clint did fall back to the ol shotgun when the hogleg didn't get it done, IIRC.

brazosdave · February 21, 2013, 09:56 PM

that is one ooogley critter!

bedbugbilly · February 21, 2013, 10:26 PM

Yea , , , and people said the same thing about the Edsel too . . . oh, wait a minute . . . . that didn't go over too well either.

Personally, I think that ugly duckling would look a lot better with a big old laser sight on it . . . yea, that's the ticket . . . a big old laser sight!

Just curious . . OP . . where did you run across this thing?
