I think I need a new pistol.  Some sort of BBQ pistol with a nice set of western leather to carry it in.  Carrying these plain looking pistols in regular leather just isn't doing it for me since this thread..  ;D

I think I could find one of those really nice limited edition CZ-75's as they pop up now and then.  Oh, oh, how about a fancy BHP?

I think something like this would be perfect:

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

See, there is a beautiful pistol that was MADE to be shot, used, and carried.

I also think of the psychological factor.   If it's an open carry you want it to be plain to any would be hooligan that you are serious.  A "noisy cricket" might be more than enough to protect you but it's puny size might tempt nare-do-wells to test you out.   A full size gun says, "don't even try, sucker."
