Ick!!! - The Firearms Forum

Well, I don't understand why you'd want one, but if it gets more people into shooting (safely, of course), then it's OK by me!

There are people who believe in an intimidation factor. You know...the ones who say "racking" the slide on a pump 12GA will send a bad guy fleeing in terror with an evacuated bladder. (For the record I know the intimidation factor of that is about as predictable as the weather...)

Well...on the same note but other end of the spectrum...I can just imagine pulling a pastel colored pink or blue pistol on a hardened criminal and them thinking the thing a toy!

These look more like toy guns than...well more than toy guns do!

Sheesh, I thought such things were outlawed by the Geneva Convention. I do think though, that issuing them to Delta Troopers would be a good idea.

Shhheeeeut.

Send them things to USAMU or better yet the WTBN at Lejeune and see if ya get some feedback!

BillP · 02-28-2008, 12:46 PM

Criticize them all you want but they are guaranteed to cycle properly with a "weak wrist" hold.

DWARREN123 · 02-28-2008, 01:11 PM

Bad color choices!

If they can make them in pink they can make them in MarPat digital... Then sent it to Quantico for evaluation.

I hear they are selling very well on Castro Street and North Beach in San Francisco!

You mean it is unlikely the IDF will adopt them, Shimon? I can just see it now: A Corner Shot with one of those pistols mounted on it.

I once saw a new Ford F150 pickup (sitting in a dealers lot) the same color pink, inside and out. I assume it was a custom order for a cowgirl as it was in a time before gay rights hit the scene.

cohoskip · 03-22-2008, 04:32 PM

Sheriff Joe here in AZ could maybe use them. They would match the pink handcuffs...

Tom Militano · 03-22-2008, 07:26 PM

Jeeeeesh......

All you young guys are missin "The Big Picture" .....

While the bad guy is laughin his arse off at you for pullin that twink pink pop gun on him.....

And he can't see you fer the tears in his eyes.....

That's when you fill him full of lead.... Kids.... gotta splain everything to em.... ........

Mosin_Nagant_Fan · 03-23-2008, 10:03 PM

I would never embarrass any child wanting to learn how to properly handle a firearm with that...thing. I wouldn't embarrass myself by touching that. That's almost as bad as a wooden rifle stock painted black.

Bloomberg has passed an ordinance in NYC outlawing the paints so they have a color camo scheme with pictures of the mayors face.
