Look what I traded for, and before you ask it is very accurate and I have $50 in it. It is a Fushia (hot pink) Charles Daly made by BUL Isarel 45 ACP. I tried to put some of the Fussion by Krylon paint on it, didn't work scratched real easy. The gripps stuck pretty good so I left it in it.

[lee n. field]

my eyes! my eyes!

[MaterDei]

What were you thinking??? :)

[Black Majik]

Some things that make you go.... Hmmm..... :D

[Freightman]

Whole lot more reliable than the Titan Tiger 38 i traded for it

[Josey]

I actualy had one in purple. I had the slide polished and the trigger gold plated. It ALWAYS attracted a crowd at the range. I traded it and I noted it sold before my NICS cleared. EAA used to have similar Tanfoglio pistols.

[Freightman]

Put 300 rounds through it not one malfunction, easy to shoot good sights, and very controlable, "BAD COLOR" can't have it all for a $50 investment.

[Dr.Who]

It just shows your that there is something for everyone...

By the way, I bet you were laughing when you took the picture, it's blurry...

[buy guns]

i guess its ok if youre a girl :p

[Tamara]

Uh, we've, uh, gotten some reports that the brown acid going around might not be too, uh, good... So, uh, stay away from the brown acid. :uhoh:

[Schuey2002]

Whole lot more reliable than the Titan Tiger 38 i traded for it
Was it fushia also?? :uhoh:

[Freightman]

No it was Junk colored. If you must know the truth I really am about $200 +++to the good on the pistol but it is a complicated story.
I traded a chipper shreeder for the gun three years back ( it didn't cost me a thing) sold the pistol for $300, was given the chipper shreeder back, traded it for a Hoyt compound bow with all accesories then traded the Titan Tiger for the pistol back (really did not have 50 in the tiger traded a old computre for it so boys if you can trade any better than that I do not want to be around to trade with you.
By the way I am 6' + and tip the scales at 230+ wear a 13.5 size shoe and far to ugly to be a girl. But I do have fun with my guns and never take life to seriously.

[scottsw1]

Freightman,

What color is the holster?

[Unisaw]

Is that picture blurry or are my eyes just going into self-defense mode (kind of like hysterical blindness but not as severe)? :what: :D

[mrapathy2000]

those bulls were nice too bad CD stopped making them or selling them. believe was made in israel or by israeli company.

you should check to see if you cannot get those grips replaced if you dont like them.

wouldnt want it for ccw then again it doubt it would get the same hatefull panic response :what:OMG GUN!!:what: the usual evil black firearm receives.

could even be a chick magnet :cool:

like to see a anti gunner tear into a pink framed pistol. :neener:

[Nick1911]

In responce to the title - sorry Freightman; I couldn't help myself.

But if it shoots good...



Nick

[magsnubby]

????????????????????????????????????????????

[Plinkerton]

Don't listen to anyone. That gun is pimp, and I'd rock that out to the range any day.

I used to paintball, and when you saw a nice gun that was custom anodized pink and silver, is was a sight to see. You wouldn't even think about making fun of it.

If they made factory pink guns, I'd probably buy one, depending on what it was.

Too cool. :D :D :D

[joe sixpack]

It would certainly be difficult to loose though.
No mistakes at the table about which gun belongs to whom, either.

cheers, ab

[railroader]

I have the fullsize version in BLACK.:D Personally I think mine looks kind of goofy looking and it isn't pink. It is really accurate and reliable at least with round nose reloads which is pretty much all I shoot with it. If you need extra mags they seem to be rarer than hens teeth so if you come across any snatch them up. Mark

[GigaBuist]

far to ugly to be a girl.

That didn't stop one of my inlaws from getting rid of his wedding tackle. Nevermind.

Hey if it shoots reliabily it's worth $100 easy. I honestly wouldn't mind owning something like that just as a conversation piece. Might be an interesting way to get some females more interested in the shooting sports. Or, well, perhaps a nice starter firearm for a Pink Pistols event that's got new shooters there.

I can't imagine the things running through a BGs mind if you CCW'd that though and had to pull it . Well, yes, I can imagine what would run through their mind. None of it would be very flattering though.

[Marshall]

OHHH I get it, it's Barbi camo.

[Amish_Bill]

Something that festive needs to be shared... Now, where'd that thread on (transparent) ice-kydex holsters go....

[denfoote]

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :uhoh:

:what:

[patentnonsense]

What would you take for it?
Cash, face-to-face?

I'd love to have it for a "girl gun".

[Tropical Z]

I own one of those bad-boys and all i can say is you have defaced a once beautiful gun.Remove all of that black GARBAGE and return it to its original appearance! That looks HORRIBLE:barf:

[BeLikeTrey]

Now if you can get ya a crushed velvet snap brim hat in the same shade, and a crushed velvet jacket in the same shade or maybe a zebra print... Stick a nice feather in that hat...

Aww heck I might not like the color too much but I kinda like what the black does for the grip look. Kinda futuristic!

Be sure that if that is your carry weapon, make sure bad guy knows it's real. In all seriousness, it looks reminiscent of a squirt gun with the color. Nice lines on that gun though I really like it.

[Freightman]

This gun is worth what I paid for it which was" nothing", anyhow this is the longest thread I have ever posted. Man this is a new record for me.
I really hate it that I defaced such a "COLLECTORS " piece and I do apoligize. Who knows some future generation will call it "ART".
If I have to pull the gun on a BG I would rather him die laughing rather than of gunshot. (less problems).
Now what will I do to top this? may have to start collecting weird guns.
If you own weard guns post pictures of them, this has been fun.

[armoredman]

Try magazines for the Witness Poly Compact - sneaking suspicion they are one and the same gun....

[Plinkerton]

Seriously, that thing is awesome. That picture makes me want it even more. No joke. :D

[emc]

Actually, I thought that the original picture was blurry due to the lens optics dissolving from the color of the subject matter! :D

emc

[Freightman]

better

[Amish_Bill]

Stop that. You have me wanting one now!

[Lobotomy Boy]

That gun is too cool, Freightman. I'm about to head to the jewelry store to buy my wife a $500 pair of ear rings for her birthday on Saturday. I would rather be buying her a gun, but I'd kind of like to have sex again sometime. Now if I could get her a fuschia gun, I could have my cake and eat it too, so to speak.

[Brian Williams]

Try using RIT dye on it or maybe some permanent Sharpie marker.

[krept]

AARGH!

[Kharn]

First off:
Tamara's definitely on the right track, did you drop the brown acid before taking that picture? I think Oleg needs to drive to your place for some personal photo lessons, mainly the use of a camera while not moving like a paint can shaker. :neener: If I intentionally mis-focus my eyes I can sorta figure out what the pistol is supposed to look like.

Second off:
Thats so sweet of you to buy your daugther a hot pink pistol, but you'll have to buy another one in black should she get into a tomboy phase next year. :neener:

Kharn

[Correia]

As a father of multiple Barbie loving daughters, if I came across one of those for a screaming deal, I would purchase it in a heartbeat. Especially at under $100. My daughter's favorite color is pink. :)

[Tim L]

Hey, it's Barbie Tactical!!

(ducks heading for cover:D :D )

Tim

[SapperLeader]

I like it. Id proudly sport that at the range :). Everyone else with have thier boring old black and steel and maybe a od green gun. But you, you have a pink gun!

[Amish_Bill]

Hmmm.... one possible problem... I'd have to find that shade of paint & 'adjust' the colors on the Barbie Cammo rifle. :eek:

[nero45acp]

No offense, but that's one gun they WON'T have to pry from my cold, dead hands.






nero

[Warren]

I like it.

Gun manufacturers need to do more of this.

Bright colors sell.

I would buy one, I would carry one. Though I would go for teal or cobolt or emerald over pink.

Having finishes like that would only help our movement.

[Warren]

No offense, but that's one gun they WON'T have to pry from my cold, dead hands.

I'm a big Buccaneers fan and if a gun came out in team colors I would be all over it Pewter and that red color baby would rock.

I can get a Buccaneers credit card, watch, trash can, soda vending machine, rug, shower curtain and playing cards why not a gun?


Yeah baby yeah!

I directed this at you cause your from Tampa not because I though you needed to be lectured....

[SouthpawShootr]

:what: :neener:

I've actually seen one of these. A local holstermaker was making a paddle for it. Got a real good laugh. I handled it and it seemed extremely well-made and, if it wasn't for the color, I probably wouldn't mind having one.

[cratz2]

Don't pay any attention to these guys, freight... if it works and was only $50, I think you done good!

Of course, you know you can NEVER, EVER carry it. Right?

[Amish_Bill]

Darnit - I want one now....

[Plinkerton]

WE'RE LOUD! WE'RE PROUD! WE.....:p

A lot.

[Freightman]

You must be kidding I do not have guns I don't carry! the word is concealed the dude that gets to se it will not get the last laugh.

[WhoKnowsWho]

I saw these for sale for about $300 in one of the Shotgun News ads... my wife doesn't really like Pink though... :D

[ruger357]

:what:

[SouthpawShootr]

Well, for $50, I'd probably take it too. I'd probably only shoot it when nobody else was at the range, though. If you ever get made while carrying it, your average soccer mom is going to think it's a squirt gun and will probably choose to ignore it.

[Raine]

Cool.
Where can I get one in purple?
:D

[Brad Johnson]

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

....oh, only $50? Well, that's different.....

[Lochaber]

You need the matching AR. I leave it to you to decide which one of the pink and red sets are a better match.

[Freightman]

Hey looks like I am going to have to get a "HOT PINK" AK to go with my 45 Daly. Man I will be th ENVY of the range.

[steelhead]

Didn't a gun rag do an article about how the gun isn't affected by "limp wristing" and was specifically designed to accomodate that style of shooting........

[hm]

uhhh....did 'Queer Eye' approve this?

[sm]

Tamara's correct about the brown acid....

Another good tip - don't lick OLD postage stamps either, you never know where those stamps has been.( old Frat houses, dorm roooms...etc.) :p

Okay- rule one, have a gun , but don't pick one out after eating the brownies.
:D

Corriea can get by with this( he is BIG) , pax perhaps , I mean she is a female and all - and her 5 boys will "whup up on" anyone making fun of mom...Amish_Bill , well , what can one say.

The rest of us....at least it is reliable , you bought it right, and you like it.

[BluesBear]

Lets face it a mugger after your wallet is NOT going to be expecting to see a purple pistol. By the time he/she realizes it's a gun it's going to be too late.

But then again, if you yell stop or I'll shoot and the mugger doesn't really believe it's a real gun and does something stupid how would that play out in court? Personally I don't think it should matter one iota.

[Plinkerton]

Me niether.

A gun, is a gun, is a gun.

And if they were stupid enough to try and mug someone in the first place, and they get shot, they had it coming. :D

[Redlg155]

I didn't have time to read all the pages of the post, but if you are looking for a solution to your pink problem you might look at dying it black.

I'd check the HK forums for more information on exactly how to do the process, but the HK guys have been dying the USC carbine and the SL8 rifles from grey to black using RIT dye. Just make sure you do a test pattern inside of the grip frame to make sure the color will come out the way you want it to.

Good Shooting

[Amish_Bill]

NO!!! Don't change it!

If you can't handle the manly pinkness of it, sell it to someone who can!
(like me! :D )

[silent one]

Hey freight,

Looks are only skin deep. I wouldn't care if it was sky blue pink. It's what comes out of the muzzle that counts. Better to have a pink weapon, than no weapon at all. I wonder if the BG would have a smile on his face, as he's carried off to the morgue.:D

[R.H. Lee]

And if you ever had to use it in self defense, maybe the jury would crack up and acquit. :p

[johnc522]

Zounds, talk about metrosexual! I think if Kerry or Edwards ever got a pistol, this would be it....

[Tom Servo]

It takes a real man to carry a pink gun.

I'm not sure I'm man enough, but sir, my hat's off :)

[BluesBear]

Hey I often play a pink bass.

I have said for years that it takes a real man to play a pink bass.

It's the one on the stand behind me on MY left.
It's a Chandler body that I finished with Champaigne Pink Metallic enamel touch up paint I got from a Cadillac dealer.

[brokendreams]

I seriously LOVE that gun. I would buy and use it as a duty pistol if they'd let me!!


I'm so sick of boring ass black. That's why I'm purchasing a green and black XD40.

[Jeff Timm]

Tim L commented, "Hey, it's Barbie Tactical!!"

I thought she was Skunk's girl friend?

Bill Jordan said you should take any edge you could get, when there is "No Second Place Winner." If the mugger starts laughing at your pink pistol, a couple of 200 grain Hollow Points should punctuate the sentence nicely.

I'm still looking for evidence that Glock made orange pistols for the Norwegian Coast Guard.

Who will stick to the M1911A1 in .45s.

[michiganfan]

Is that one of those guns that if you were shot you would "die laughing"
All kidding aside it would be hard to pass up any gun that functioned for 50 bucks. Great deal.
