Then hopefully someone will invite me to a BBQ. But I'll get prepared just in case.

Thank you for that "laugh out loud" moment!

Abraham wrote:Oldgringo,

I told my wife the same thing, with one exception.

I suggested she could throw some old tires on me (ah, when I'm dead that is) and throw some gasoline on it and sent me ablaze in the back yard, but apparently there are laws against that...

Could sure save some money and hassle though, but NOOOOO the funeral homes would have a hissy...

It would almost have to be a 1911. I'd like to stay low key and "classic" whatever that really means. I appreciate full coverage engraving and gold inlay but that's not really my style, or in my budget.

I'd love to see your BBQ guns to get a feel and some ideas.

How about a Dan Wesson Guardian? It seems to meet your criteria and it's available in 9mm, .45ACP, & .38 Super.

This one happens to be .45. I'll admit, I never thought of it as a BBQ gun before.

Maybe gay would be more accurate.

Remember, he and Tonto had to go into couples therapy when the Lone Ranger found out what "Kemosabe" really meant...

Yes, perhaps a "lace" holster would be a lovely alternative to stinky old leather or heavens, the "ever so gauche" kydex.

I feel like swooning!

My hand is fanning my face to keep from passing out!!

As for me, I'm sticking with my Glock 19. You can't go wrong with classic black. Goes with everything.

I wouldn't get a engraved with gold inlay either, I just can't picture me wearing a Kydex holster with an off-the-shelf black M&P for a BBQ rig.

I agree. I'd like to find a "Sunday-go-to-meeting" gun for special occasions. Not a safe queen but not my EDC. Something nice but tasteful and reserved. Then a nice engraved leather holster of similar adornment.
