With laser engraving, you are seeing more and more guns with engraving every year.
Maybe a few of y’all remember, back in the late 80s, early 90s, S&W put out guns with laser engraving. It cost a good bit back then.
Now days it doesn’t cost as much.
In '03, some guys we ran into showed us some Taurus pistols with engraving and gold-filling. Who knew?
When I first saw this thread, I knew there'd be a few "lipstick on a pig" remarks, but it's actually spurred some ideas. Sometimes the pig might look a little sexier with some lipstick. I see a business opportunity here, folks. Low overhead, little actual labor, and everyone's got a Glock, right?
One of the reasons you see more Glocks with laser engraving is, there are just a hell of a lot of them (Glocks) out there.
And then there are so many after market Glock slides and frames. I could go on line and find a slide for a Glock 19 for under $200. Try and find a slide for another gun. Your choice will be limited and your price much higher.
Now I’m not saying that the Glock is better, just more popular.
I’ve been giving some thought to having my two duty weapons, that I bought from my department, engraved. Nothing fancy, just something like a police badge on the slide. I could care less if it hurt the value of the guns because, I don’t plan to sell them. They will go to my kids or grand kids.
When I started this topic, I knew that there would be a few that would come up with some negative comments, it happens in every topic that has something to do with a Glock. But it’s nice to see that the negative comments were kept to a minimum and on The High Road side.
