Observations:

1.) Barbecue is red meat
2.) Barbecue sauce is red
3.) Texans have forgotten more about barbecue than East Coasters will ever know.
4.) Mustard on ribs is a hangin' offense
5.) Shiner Bock(preferably on tap) is nectar of the Gods

Jason, you speak the truth!

MMM Maurice's

I usually go to the one on Two Notch Rd.

I wish he'd shut his trap about the confederate flag tho, its killing his business, and im always worried some colleague from work is gonna give me a hard time about being a patron.

Beef is for burgers and steak, pork is for BBQ!

Country Boy · February 6, 2003, 05:33 PM

Skunk-
You mean to tell me that you have over two thousand posts at TFL, and you don't know about Shiner Bock?

I don't have any BBQ guns. I have some guns where I could rustle up some meat for a BBQ, but I don't have any that are stunning enough to show off at a BBQ. I have a stainless 1911, but it isn't anything spectacular. I'll have to get some funky grips for her one of these days.

**Matt G** · February 6, 2003, 07:08 PM

Jason:

I agree with you in spirit, man, but understand:
While we Texicans may have the market cornered on good brisket, the S. Carolinians were making piggies into fine pork barbecue before Stephen F. was a twinkle in Moses Austin's eye. And give Memphis dry rub ribs a try, sometime. It's worth the exploration.

Closest thing to a "barbecue gun" that I have is my old working Gold Cup (qualified in police academy with it, carried it on duty, hunted a lot with it, and still shoot a few matches with it.), which shows some use. Still and all, in mother of pearl stocks, it looks pretty good, yet: (I wore it at Dad's wedding on New Year's Eve.)

Sisco · February 17, 2003, 12:49 PM

Well, I never thought of barbequing a gun before, but I'll willing to try most anything. Wasn't really all that good, kinda tough and greasy tasting. In fact, I'd rather eat a carp. Raw.
Maybe it would've been better with some BBQ sauce. What do you all recommend? Bullseye?

Skunkabilly · February 17, 2003, 01:18 PM

MattG those stocks rule!

Fed168 · February 17, 2003, 01:27 PM

Speaking for the NC contingent, the only real BBQ can be found east of Davidson.
My BBQ gun is a J frame. Don't want to get my guns greasy while enjoying some pig.

LawDog · February 17, 2003, 02:15 PM

*Ahem*

I think there may be a bit of confusion hereabouts concerning the difference between a court gun (also called a church gun) and a BBQ gun.

A court gun should be blued steel or stainless with minimum engraving. The stocks should be tastefully understated fancy wood. A 1911 or Browning Hi-Power is the classic court gun.

The gun leather for your court gun should be dark in colour, with the classic basketweave pattern and a Ranger buckle. A subdued floral or Celtic pattern is acceptable, as long as the leather engraving is not a different color from the rest of the belt. Under no circumstances should your name be carved into the back of your court gun gear, although discreet references to your employment or family history are acceptable.

The best court gun gear used to come from TDC inmates, although I haven't gotten a set from them in years.

A BBQ gun on the other paw, requires that you start with a revolver -- Smith and Wesson or Colt. Anything Brazilian is liable to get you laughed at. Polished stainless at a minimum, and pony up for full engraving.

Now, look in the mirror. Is your mustache over 50% grey? If so, go for pearl grips. 49% or less on the grey-meter, and you'd best stick with ivory.

Have the ivory scrimshawed. Floral patterns involving roses and the Texas flag are good, as well as the state of Texas, tastefully clothed women and long horn cattle. Any scene from the battle of the Alamo is a surefire crowd pleaser. For those souls living outside the Great State of Texas, the flag raising at Mt. Suribachi may be substituted for an Alamo scene, and anything involving Marines is acceptable engraving material.

The leather for your BBQ gun should be of a floral pattern, with the engraving a different color than the rest of the leather. The engraving pattern should extend to the buckle and any other metal hardware which should consist of silver and be polished bright enough to shave in.

Reehaw Gun:

Ubertacticalled out pistol with all the doodads: ghost ring sights, taclight, stainless or hard chromed slide and carbon fiber grips.

Sharkskin or faux carbon fiber rig.

So... where does black plastic fall into the scheme of things?

SoDFW Jason · February 17, 2003, 02:36 PM

MattG:

This is gonna be a secret between me and you OK? I'm from Alabama so I know and love the magical hog with the dry rub(although the death penalty/mustard/rib law is still on the books in AL).

the secret part: I like oinker butt off the smoker as good as bovine brisket.

I just thought we needed a little Texas representation if there was BBQ talk going 'round.

My BBQ gun is a Glock 30, but it only gets shown off if someone gets near my plate

tonerguy · February 17, 2003, 02:50 PM

If you take tupperware to a Texas BBQ it must be presented properly to avoid gossip, backbiting, confrontation or expulsion.

**Matt G** · February 17, 2003, 03:03 PM

Black plastic at a barbecue is like underwear: lots of people may be wearin' it, but it's gauche to show it off.

You like those pimp grips, Skunk? (I have to admit that I do, too, but I'm skeered of crackin' 'em when I wear 'em and smack a door-frame or sumpin'.)

LawDog's correct, but I'm still not outfitted for court or even barbecues correctly, yet. Might be okay for fish-fries. I need to find myself a nice engraved and nickled New Frontier or the like. Maybe a Python...

Skunkabilly · February 17, 2003, 03:37 PM

My scores have improved drastically every since I got mine last summer. They rule. The stock grips are ugly on an Elite II. They go well with the servicey models like the 92F or even the GSD but the Elite II needs something racier.

Dave R · February 17, 2003, 04:52 PM

MattG is right. The only way to carry "black plastic" at a barbeque is _concealed_.

SoDFW Jason · February 17, 2003, 05:01 PM

Tonerguy: That is one purdy piece of hide, my brother. I needs me one of them. As far as looks go, that is the farthest I have seen the "sow's ear into a silk purse" thing go on dressing up a piece of ugly(but functional) plastic.

Skunk: you have to be the most tactical pimp in the Engrish speaking world.

In Memphis (BBQ capital of the world):

1. Barbecue is pork, pork, or pork.
2. BBQ sauce is red (we agree with the TX and KC folks, here)
3. Mustard based BBQ sauce is just wrong.
4. Ribs should be slow cooked with a dry rub.
5. A BBQ sandwich consists of a bun, pulled pork, and slaw.
6. Any of the above should be served with a huge glass of sweet tea.

SoDFW Jason · February 17, 2003, 05:49 PM

.45TCB: I agree with everything you said. Ribs are a very personal thing so I didn't address that issue(besides the mustard thing) but I am a fan of the dry rub and the KC Masterpiece slathered ribs. A pulled pork sandwich is a very difficult thing to argue against, as I do love them so.

I also agree with sweet tea, but it's hard to come by in Texas unless you are in a "Memphis style" BBQ joint or at home. I'm not sure about why that is though......

Byron Quick · February 27, 2003, 12:06 AM

OK,

Who does some great engraving and scrimshaw?

Litlman · February 27, 2003, 12:00 PM

I don't realy have a "barbecue gun but if I did it would have to be like Stephen Camp's!!! NICE!

Tamara · February 27, 2003, 12:28 PM

So, a "court gun" is kinda like a "TFL/THR Gathering gun"? Something like "Oh, jeeze, that's a Springfield Pro, isn't it?" or "Hey, I didn't know Smith made a 4" round-butt Model 19!" or "Ooh! Who did the custom work on that 1911?". I've been to at least one gathering where the total MSRP of the various 1911's around would've purchased a half-decent car, and I'm only talking about maybe five guns...

Skunk,

No, that's called a "Mall Ninja gun", and will just get you laughed at.

Get runt_ to explain to you why it's not a good idea to leave M.O.D. knife boxes lying around where folks can see 'em, either.

El Tejon · February 27, 2003, 12:42 PM

Bar-be-que? BBQ? WTH is that? You guys mean a Cook Out?

A Cook Out--where you eat game meat or chicken and not the pig or cow! That way you can still move around for the basketball game and not fall asleep when we break out the cards for euchre.

Whatever Cook Out gun you bring, ensure you have a good holster and belt that way it will stay with you during the basketball game or horseshoe pitching contest and not fall into the 3 bean salad!
