Big miss from my POV.....looks like Bubba did it in his basement.

 

[Juster]

Some of us didn't get to play with Barbie when we were small, and we pay double to have sparkly Glocks. I'm absolutely OK with that, if it makes you happy and harms no-one.

 

[sailor723]

^ Oh exactly, to each his own.

It just does nothing for me.

 

[stevebc]

A miss for me, but there is always some who will buy.

I just puked a little, but hey, like they say, no accounting for taste

 

[Diamondback Six]

I've thought about doing something similar, but a lot more tastefully. OD green slide, light gray frame, style the sharkmouth to follow the lines of the slide's radiusing... my dreamshot would be if any of the surviving Flying Tigers have a charitable endowment set up like a scholarship fund the way the Doolittles did, to create a limited run of ninety-nine, one modeled after each of the original AVG Tomahawks, and raffle them off as a fundraiser, each gun being accompanied by a model of its counterpart aircraft and historical notes on both that plane and any pilots strongly associated with it. (Keeping one for myself, of course; probably Boyington's since he was a local college boy, getting his degree from UW in Seattle.)

These... ugh. They just look Amateur Hour.

*BARF* tasteless crap.

They'll make a fortune.

I like em both and would buy one but can't afford to shoot .45 anymore so if they ever make one a 9mm.......

Replace firing pin, FP stop, ejector and barrel and Bob's Your Uncle, IIRC...

Would be cheaper to give one of my existing guns a paint job.

 

[The Kurgan]

tasteless crap IMHO... but to each their own... some people also like black lever guns with plenty of accessory rails!!

 

[Coyote Ugly]

Right up there with the Pimpshined Mitchell’s Mausers.

 

[TheTooner]

That extractor will not work on my money.

 

[Chuck-A]

Not the bliing type (miss) but sure is a clientele for this somewhere...

 

[buzzmagoo]

More of a target goup for retired fly boys and veterans . 45 noze art , cap America would give them a look .

[PinkyPlinker]

Horrid. Still prettier than a Glock tho’.

I doubt many veterans would be interested. Looks more targeted to the gamer/comicon crowd.

Just to add to the groan factor.
