Hideous Guns! Blasphemy!

[Zoogster]

Lets say someone (LEO or otherwise) is attacked by an assailant with one of these colored jobs. The time it takes to figure out if the weapon is real or not might cause enough of a delay to give the attacker the advantage.

I have always thought that. If I was a criminal I might paint my carry gun neon toy colors or at least give it an orange tip for just that reason. The slight hesitation in seeing such a color would give an advantage over those who assumed it was fake.
(Although a fake looking gun probably would be counter productive in robbing or intimidating people, making it a poor choice for a criminal. Resulting in non-compliance and the 'need' to actually use the weapon much more than if it looked real.)

These look exactly like some water guns I have seen:

Duracoat in the hands of a moron is indeed a menace to society.

TJ at TJ's Custom Gunworks will do anything you want to a gun, even if it is hideous. I have to admit it takes a lot of skill to do things like marble anodizing on a frame. He does all this himself.

Hideous is right. The weapons look like plastic toys which could cause problems as noted by Just One Shot

That web site is a good example of the idea that one can have more ability to do, than taste in what one does. I think the level of technical ability is awesome, the esthetic value of the outcome is; well, often less so let us say.

Just out of curiousity, can any of you guys cite instances where LEO have ran into trouble because the person had a real gun mistaken for a toy? I have never heard of an LEO hesitating cause the gun was neon green or had an orange tip. I have heard plenty though of people being shot by LEO for displaying a 3 musketeers bar, a wallet, or a TV remote. I do not think any LEO would hesitate at your "toy" gun.

To each his own, but I think his camo jobs are kinda weak. Especially the digital, its too splotchy, spotty, almost like sparse sticker placement. It's a lazy way to do it. If I was to pay for something like that (not anytime ever) I'd rather have something that fully covers and actually follows the much more complex digital or more full chocolate chip desert patterns. Those pattens are pretty time intensive and his take on them are severely lacking. Aside from that the idea of bright handguns is ridiculous.

I didn't mind the camo ones... It was the wild colored and patterned ones.

 

[maskedman504]

That is alot of orange AR mags.

I will admit, I love to Dura-Coat and Cera-Kote guns. I especially enjoy taking beat up guns and making them look brand new. Having tried my hand at this, I really appreciate some of the camo jobs. It looks like they are very good at what they do.

That said, the Lavender 92 and pink Ruger with daisies did make me cringe.

This is enough to make a dog laugh.

What is this gun? It doesn't look horrible, but I have no idea what it is! have any of you seen anything like this before?

 

[KarenTOC]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I sure wouldn't be holdin' any of them.

 

[qajaq59]

Some people just like attention I guess. But I can't even imagine going to the range with a Ruger that looked like that. ROTFLMAO

Well how good is any gun coating or finish
How long does a good blue job stay pristine

The advanced coatings come from heavy industrial applications, most have self lubing properties in addition to looking good, as for chipping, happens, but not nearly as easily as you make it sound.

OK Who's Lana Fuchs? Is that the same girl from high school?

some type of black powder double barrel inline ...

the ignition appears to use the 209 primers, and you can barely see a ram rod guide under the barrels..

brand? dunno..

Not all painted guns are bad. My daughter and I did this one and we quite like it.

 

[chauncey]

oh no! think of the children!

 

[jakk280rem]

i wonder if he could do up my family's tartan?

 

[renegade1alpha]

I saw one of the Charter Arms snubbies in lavender and thought "if I carried that no one would take that gun seriously" Which can be good and bad. Good if its some liberal who thinks that because its lavender it wont be as dangerous as a black or stainless one. And bad, because if you had to pull it no one would take you serious until you had to pull the trigger.

Actually it just looks like the new arrivals are the only outragous ones. A few others, but some of those camo jobs are pretty cool.

There is a valuable lesson here. Somewhere.
