Does Lorcin do factory engraving? Custom holster?

OK Tallbald. Hang on here. Before you get discouraged, and go off somewhere, let me suggest the following.
Hit Google. Hard. search up "Lorcin," "Lorcin review," "Lorcin range report," also look up Saturday Night Specials (yes it's a highly controversial term, but it's what most people call guns of this type.) See the objective reviews and general opinions of these guns.

You'll see that unlike the S&W K frame you mentioned wanting in the Revolver sub forum, Lorcins are..well… quite frankly very poor quality. The S&W is a nice gun and worth seeking out.
Lorcin is up there with Raven, Bryco and Jennings. They are guns that are poor quality, not meant to actually last, and are meant to cater to the lowest budget imaginable.
Considering that for $800 one could have a new Sig, Beretta, or many other very high quality guns that will outlast his grandchildren, someone is not thinking clearly to try to get a gun that may not outlast the first case of ammo.
There is a reason that high-end holster makers don't make holsters for Lorcins. They are low quality guns and the people who buy them, usually can't afford good holsters. If they could afford them, they'd be buying better guns in the first place.

Do your research, but really now, think about this before you really decide that a Lorcin is the gun of your dreams.

Edit:
When I started typing, fishbed hadn't replied yet with the above. I really have to wonder why this thread wasn't saved for April 1st.

I'm actually as I've stated many times before a Ruger man, and grew up a pinned Smith man. A CZ75B and a few Bond derringers thrown in too.I have no interest in polymer anything myself. But hey, the Lorcin is metal, right? It must be a goodun. And that engraving sure makes it purty as we say here in the south.
The tactical accessories thread for the Ruger Old Army brought out the humor, as intended, in most.

I wonder if the company that makes those accessories could make a tactical rail and maybe a high powered "sniper scope" for my blunderbuss.

Have been pondering using an old shotgun left to me in a trade if I can locate the Lorcin I hope to find. A Browning made overseas, the relative called it Sweet something. Is an odd gauge I have trouble finding. Nobody seems to carry 16 gauge these days. One dealer said nobody shoots 16 gauge any more and offered me $235 for the gun in trade. It has a gold colored trigger.

What luck! I have a factory engraved Lorcin in a galco holster right here, I'm in kentucky too... Where do you want to meet to get rid of that crappy brown sweet somethin?

Arkansas my suggestion would be to affix a short section of 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe to the top of the blunderbuss, parallel to the axis of the bore, thus creating a quick acquisition sight system that would with changing range give a field of view approximating the bullet impact zone. But that's just me.

Beeenbag I appreciate the thought, but I've decided to keep my Browning. A friend here in KY has a chrome plating shop and has offered to chrome plate the whole thing and camo paint the stock (first cutting off that goofy rounded pistol grip) for no more than $300. He said he could even buff off the gold from the trigger.

 

[beeenbag]

Oh come on!! I'll even throw in a raven 25 acp with muzzle break and 75 round drum

 

[Tallbald]

Beeenbag that's sure tempting...... but topics like drum mags for Ravens are just plain silly.

Oh good grief. Folks when you see a thread like this, just hit he "report post" button.

This may be playful, non-malicious trolling, but it is still trolling and that's not cool here.
