So my boss has made mention that he is going to propose soon to his girlfriend and of course the talk started on what firearms are going to be packed at the wedding (gotta love the people I hang around with). Well, long story short, they are going to soon be the proud owners of a Nighthawk 1911 of some kind. So I got to thinking. This is not going to be the only wedding I will probably have to be in and a good BBQ pistol is in order. I'm pretty set on working firearms right now so maybe its time to put some thought and money into a good looking pistol. My first thoughts seem to focus around a revolver of some kind. Most likely a .44 which led me to an S&W 629 of some kind gussied up with some nice elk grips and so forth. But I got to thinking go Old School. Maybe a single action Ruger with Elk grips and maybe a little tasteful engraving. Maybe one of the Lipsey specials in .44 Special with the 3.5 inch barrel? What do y'all think? Any other ideas, cuz I'm pretty open but leaning heavily towards a wheel gun.

Edited: they refers to both of my bosses as one is dating the others sister-in-law.

Colt 1911A1 in factory royal blue in an Adam's Holsters OWB rig with lining. Walnut grips.

The S/A Ruger with elk grips sounds perfect.

What about your leather?

Well, shoulder holsters is the idea for the wedding. I was thinking of a Huckleberry rig with a matching custom knife if I go with a single action or a floral pattern high ride if I went for a DA revolver.

I'm thinking nice 1911,   or a Smith & Wesson Model 29.     If you want something more exotic,  maybe one of the CZ or Tangfolio high end competition guns.   Colt Python would be nice too, but those get pricey.    Bren 10 if the wedding happens to involve white suits and pastel shirts.   

If I was going to buy a BBQ gun right now this would be it.

Well I soon hope to build my 1911, that will double nicely as a BBQ gun, Commander size, bobtailed  melted frame and slide. Cocobolo grips and 10mm goodness. Finish that off with a nice satin finish and the coleburn armory logo engraved on the slide with the serial number MWC-1011.

This is mine. Not really fancy but it's the only shiny one I have.



This is what I want. 44 special. It looks like a BBQ rig.
