Which guns can lead to your "Man Card" getting pulled?

I tried to track down one of the pink Charter Arms snubbies. I wanted one like the one reviewed on Gunblast - it was called "The Pink B**ch" and said so right on the barrel. Charter Arms never released it in this configuration that I could find, but changed it to "The Pink Lady".

if you refuse to fire a gun because "its too big" or "the recoil would hurt" then its revoked

ok, I'll play. I would shoot this, but...

only if my wife brought it to the range. Kinda like holding her handbag while she tries on clothes.

This is the man thread. No whining about guns that are ugly or unreliable. Only cold hard statements. Which guns would you never be caught dead shooting in front of your friends.

Cold hard statement? If you are so unsure of your sexuality that you need positive reaffirmation from strangers on the internet because of your personal choices in shooting, then you need to go find some gradeschooler and get a cootie shot and get over it.

There are certain things that you never do in front of your friends, like cry or ride a moped for example.

I don't think 'friends' means what you think it means.

Wow, some of you are literally sitting on diamond mines!

People are too sensitive these days to have this honest conversation.

people come on. just think humor. its what you usta laugh about. remember? what comedians try to do? ringing any bells?

personally i think a large frame man shooting a mousegun is odd but no need for revocation, maybe just a new test to renew the man card the next time.

the pink guns i hafta agree with. thats just wrong unless as stated your with your wife/sister/daughter.

if anything, NOT shooting guns is the way your man card gets revoked. the exception to this statement is if the non-shooter is really good at something else cool. like surfing, skydiving, free climbing tall cliffs, martial arts, ect.

I'm a girl, actually. Sorry for intruding on the sausage fest, but it is amusing.

Dunno, but if I saw a guy carrying a pink gun, my first thought would be, "now THAT'S a man with absolutely no need to prove anything whatsoever!"

I think that would be my thought as well. These discussions always make me think of my ex-boyfriend, who is a Marine, a black belt in Hapkido, and also listens to Elton John and thinks mopeds are really fun (and they are!). I guess he's not worried about his "man card."

I would want anything to do with that pink Taurus ASM826 posted either though, it's just ugly.

uh, lady smith revolvers are not girly. There's even some k-frame variations wih the "ladysmith" name on them. They are actually VERY nice revolvers.

A girly gun is one that seems to be designed for petite hands. Kahr fit's that description. Although I do have one of those as well.

I listen to Elton John.

Just don't do it while crying, or riding a moped, or shooting a tiny pink pistol. Definitely don't do all four of those things at once.

I would be totally impressed with someone who followed range safety procedures, shot some awesome groups at 200 yds, answered some questions from newcomers, cleaned up his brass, cleaned and cased his rifles and quietly went about his business without bragging.

If I happened to see he had a pink rifle, I'd still be impressed.

Smokeless powder is girly. Real men shoot black powder.

Kind of kidding I love em both.

A .25 handgun came really close to putting my lights out for good when I was 14 yrs old... Shot Placement!!


On a side note, picture this headline:

"Home Invader Shot And Arrested By Victim With LadySmith".

Take the man card from the thug!

Maelstrom, next time you decide to start a humor thread, I guess you need to put a disclaimer in the title.. This place has more "sticks in the mud" than any forums I visit.. Some of you guys need to take a serious chill pill, relax and have a little fun once in a while!! Or perhaps you need to take out your little pink guns and shoot off some steam..

i can hear the engine pitch change to a high whine as this thread plummets to the earth.

as to being to manly to shoot a ladysmith, i like them alot. the grips are more concealably and the trigger pull is lighter.

How about the guy that wants a light recoiling elk gun because the 30-06 hurts his wittle shoulder. I mean, come on, the elk is dying for you and you won't do all you can to make it quick because of a little recoil.

Or perhaps you need to take out your little pink guns and shoot off some steam..

Now there's a funny mental image!

yah Maelstrom I hear u bud any pink gun being shot by a dude IS girly and totallly deserves revocation of the Man Card... with the disclaimer that if you're teaching a wife / girlfriend / daughter / female relative/friend, it's ok

Now with that said too many posters here are drinkin the h8torade and had better quit it, I'm on your side bud

But still, just for good measure, IBTL

Given the fact that my 14-year-old daughter has had considerable input into what firearms I have collected, I find this thread comical. For my part, I like my NAA .22LR as much as I like my Bushmaster pistol. I guess that makes me a girlie-man. Oh yeah, and those little pink guns, if anyone likes them, I hope they buy them...it just means more shootists.

Good try at humor, but likely not the right place.

My response would go something like this: If it's too girly to shoot, it must be OK to get shot with it.... so you stand right where you are and I'll start shooting at you with the small calibers and work my way up until you tell me you don't want to get shot by it. Now where's my .17 HMR? Hey, where'd you go?
