To dress it up like a 3 dollar hooker is just wrong.....he must be from California.... :P

Honestly, I know its a personal thing and you should shoot what you like, but really to me simplicity with a gun is the key to good looks. Form follows function and it looks good if it shoots good. If you wanted to engrave my Parker with gold leaf, you'd walk away bleeding. As far as an LCP pocket pistol???? yikes! :P

Hey! I'm in CA, and I don't whore up my tools. I like stock out-of the-box guns. I may change the sights on some. I've seen a lot of that crap in TJ and FL. My first wife's dad ruined a Colt Diamondback with gaudy engraving and inlays in TJ. He was from there and owned a bar. A Mexican cop got drunk and left it behind, so it came to this side of the border. Which way are the guns really crossing the border?
