Nickel Rock Island 38 Super with Pearl or Ivory Grips. Fake pearl and ivory is probably ideal.

Here's proof that some folks will adorn *anything*. Behold the gold engraved Glock.

Why not go the other way - Locern, Jennings, Raven, Jimenez in a chrome finish and mexican carry in a nice pair of cut-off sweat pants? You could take the $400+ you saved and use it as a down payment for your real barbecue outfit.

See there, you even have choices - no hate intended.

Up north, where we are still free, we have big BBQ's as well. They are sometimes put on churches, companies, towns, fire houses, police departments or just a block/street.

In the Midwest - where we are not free but may in fact be priced too high if the outflow of jobs is any measure - we too have extravaganza's otherwise known as bar-b-qs, ox roasts, hog/pig roasts, sweetcorn festivals, tomato festivals, pumpkin festivals, home comings (not the high school kind), fund raisers including political, benefits, burgoo's, and so on and so on. We don't attend these events to impress with the bling quotient of our gun, car, clothes, or mistress but to eat ourselves sick on the food du jour which always seems to include plenty of 'carnival/fair' food such as funnel cake, elephant ears, corn dogs, lemon shake ups, French fried potato's, and yes even bar-b-q. But, many of us do carry - concealed usually - as we Midwesterners tend to be fashionably reserved and prone to understatement.

I'm envious of some of the pistols shown here. my B-B-Q gun is a pristine BDA .380acp cost me a little more than 400$ though actually 425.
here in WNC 'Q' is a year-round thing it was sleeting/snowing Friday when I got home with a chunk of center-cut pork loin I tossed on my grill/smoker to make some pulled 'Q' for my sandwiches.

I wasn't asking because I couldn't afford anything else, I was asking because I wanted interesting/different ideas and a challenge.

"Get a 4" or 6" S&W 686, take some Flitz or other metal polish to it to get it to a high sheen."
I like this route since I already own one and I am currently on a CharBroil budget.

I'm with armedbear and Mcgunner on a black powder pistol. That 1851 Navy engraved looks really nice, or you could go with another model that also looks good and has some good history like a .44 Walker or 1858,1860 army from cabela's. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/t...parentType=index&parentId=cat20817&id=0006120
Anyway what I'm getting at is that I would do a little homework on it's history and when everyone is talking (boasting) about their piece (mostly just price) or there $200 1911 grips. I think it would be cool if you could actually give a little short American history lesson about the gun instead of just what it costs. I think the stainless looks really good, and I don't know your BBQ situation, city, country, suburbs but out here in the country I would load it up with black powder and a wad/newspaper and fire it in the air for the kids. Nothing like a loud boom and a lot of smoke with no projectile to worry about for a good time. We do that at my mom's in the summer and everyone loves when me and my step dad fire off his cannons that he made at work. We do take some safety precautions and use a long wick and fire it from behind the garage with no projectiles. Let me tell you 150-200gr of triple seven followed by a cork or newspaper gets everyone's attention and usually a bunch of laughs when everyone jumps. My two year old son would scream and cackle with laughter uncontrollably every time and that made everyone else almost cry because it was so funny.

Ahem?
My initial statement was a joke, but if thats considered freedom, I'm afraid.
Its not that other parts of the country don't have BBQs, its that it used to be, and in some areas, still is expected that you openly carry your finest firearm to these events. Prior to being known as BBQ guns, they were also known as go-to-meeting and courthouse guns.
