Now THIS annoys me......

Just look at what some idiot did to an otherwise classic revolver.

Now that is disgusting!

[Walkalong]

I've seen that. It's pretty disgusting.

 

[wdlsguy]

Can the damage be undone?

 

[skinnyguy]

We use a Krylon-type paint and bake on the new durable coating.

Doesn't look like it can be undone. Looks to me like somebody's asking for legal problems, modifying a real gun to look like a toy, gotta be some law somewhere that addresses that.

Reminds me of a cap gun i had as a kid.

That poor gun sure looks awful to me, but I'm certain there must be people out there to whom such a gaudy improvement has appeal. Those buyers aren't collectors for sure, however. They want something unique.

Such a makeover begs the question: what did that gun look like before it was painted? Was it pitted and scarred? I would guess yes. Nobody would trash a 93%+ Smith. So maybe this treatment is a way to get another $100 out of a low-grade shooter. If so, I say go for it. I'd like to see one in aqua.

 

[Phyphor]

Gahdamn, there *NEEDS* to be a law against that!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Eyesore,batman

 

[Zundfolge]

Hell, I'm sure you could find a way to strip it ... if you could get it for $50 and the timing is fine and it locks up tight it might be a fun project.

 

[Soybomb]

I'd sure try to give it a bath in brake parts cleaner and hope for the best, it looks like its sad.

 

[KINGMAX]

HHMMMMMMMM somthing strange going on here !!!!!!!!!

 

[Ron James]

I think it is one of the uglest things I have ever laid eyes on, however, his gun, his choice. I think what is almost as bad, someone will buy it.

 

[cslinger]

So let me get this straight.....

We are painting the bright parts on our toy/airsoft guns so they look like real guns but painting our real guns to look like toys. Cats and dogs living together.......

 

[possum]

why on earth?:banghead:

 

[Quoheleth]

I thought only Taurus pimped guns. WhattamIsaying...that ain't pimped...that's....what's the word....it's........well.......my first thought - to be honest - was a satan gun. Black & red like that...just ain't right.

 

[Glockfan.45]

OH THE HUMANITY ! Say all you want about people doing what they want with their guns, but the owner of that....that....thing needs to be pistol whipped.

 

[357wheelgunner]

That does look terrrible.

 

[orionengnr]

I think what is almost as bad, someone will buy it.

Hmmm, perhaps not. No bids so far...what a surprise.

 

[countryrebel]

Only from NY

 

[joneb]

Bubba has no shame

 

[SnWnMe]

I kinda like it.

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Did anybody notice that in the sellers remarks he says, "We'll paint any standard gun any available color combination for $130."?

If some Good Samaritan wants to take up a collection to pay this guy $130 not to paint another gun, I'll kick in $5.
