Pink guns, etc.

Me 2! I love that t-shirt, but I think it embarrasses Mars a bit.

Maybe you shouldn't make him wear it...

Ha!

This is the one I like.

Pink is nice, but my daughter insists on purple. Not so many choices that way.

I also saw some girls using pink guns at united states, I think those girls have a licensed.

They may have,

Also, pink kayaks, paddles and fishing rods are popular now ... some manufacturers donat a percentage of profit to fight breast cancer.
And ... after the "guns in watercraft" bills pass into law .... I imagine there will be more pink guns sold for the pink kayak/paddle/fishing rod ladies.

Male kayakers get girlfriends/wives/daughters pink kayaks, so they don't have to kayak fish alone .... girls don't mind cleaning fish as much if THEY caught them) And pink kayaks get females interested in the sport of kayak fishing.......... same with shooting. So, the shooting trip/fishing trips occur more frequently, and families stay together sharing hobbies.

Notice that the NFL has NOT started using pink footballs yet to get ladies more interested ...(ladies on Thanksgiving would be in front of the TV and everyone would starve on Thanksgiving because men don't know how to cook that day)

Uh... My wife is always looking for a "CUTE" gun!!
She already owns a Sig Sauer Pink Mosquito and A Taurus PT-22

I've been trying to convince her she needs a .380 and now that she has seen the LCP Coyote special we're in business... Now I just need to find one...

A different take on a "Coach" gun.

Even I would carry this one. lol

If it sells, more power to the gun companies.....besides, I'm glad they've discovered that there are more colors in existence than black or stainless.....


....I wonder if there's a way that these new color techniques could reproduce the old-style bluing that Colt and S&W used to put on revolvers.......

It used to be cars were black and chrome but now we can buy new cars in many colors, and the sky is the limit for aftermarket paint jobs. Plus car wraps for the true custom look. It's nice to see gun companies adding some color to their products.

It would be nice, but I don't think it's possible. The surface finish of the base metal is very critical when trying to get a smooth and uniform coating of bluing or plating. I think that the old Colt Royal Blue required a lot of hand polishing and buffing that would probably be too costly for today's consumers. Probably the chemicals that they used were not too environmentally friendly.

I am an old fuddy duddy I guess. Not a huge fan of colors... black, silver, blue - those to me are "serious" colors. I am not even a fan of the "putty" color on the EBR's. JMPHO...

I worry with the pink, blue, digi-cammo etc. that kids will think they are toys. Of course that won't be a problem, because all parents are responsible and ensure their weapons are kept out of the hands/reach of children.

I guess I am sorta ornery today....

I used to feel the exact same way! My quote was "It's a self-defense tool, not a fashion accessory!" But boy, I've almost come around full circle. If a little color and a little personalization is the difference between a citizen choosing to start shooting or not, then I guess a little color is a good thing. I do still get a little irritated at the gun store owner that pushes a pink gun on the "little lady."

Like you though, I do worry about them looking less than real to kids, especially little ones.

I know a couple women at work that might get this one just because of the "Coach" design. I haven't yet and probably won't, but I have thought about getting mine coated with some kind of pattern that would make it less obvious if accidentally exposed. I know, I know, "accidentally", but it still might keep the MWG call from being placed.

Good thought...maybe this trend could also aid concealment....

Probably the chemicals that they used were not too environmentally friendly.

This I know....that's why I'm wondering if the new techniques might be able to reproduce classic bluing colors like the Colt Royal Blue without the intensive labor, toxic chemicals, or excessive costs....

Anything that gets the wemmenz out on the range is a good thing. For my wife it was fancy grips for her custom Vandenberg 9mm commander.

She wanted pearl. I simply could not bring myself to turn that piece into a pimp gun.

We settled on simulated bone grip panels with a Texas star embedded. Still a little too slick for me, but she loves it.
