Bar...B...Q?

From the internet…(I had no clue either)

An old term from the Southwest that refers to a gun that is not worn daily. It won't have the scratches, wear marks, etc a daily wear gun would have. These guns were not something that were never used or "useless." In the time the term came about they were functional guns (sometimes, heavily modified for better accuracy/reliability/etc) that might have some custom engraving, polishing, or custom grips. They didn't make many guns purely for show - they made guns to use and users modified them for show. They were normally worn in tooled leather holsters as opposed to daily wear holsters - which were plain.

Daaaam johNTO,
That's by far the most complete answer to that question possible.....thanks...I could never have come back with that......
I understand more often these days it about bling...however, this ones a darn fine shooter.....could be my second favourite...
 
I'm pretty bloody pleased! :)

I'll have to do the 13lb mainspring, ... You didn't happen to put some stock rubber grips on her did ya? ;)

Nope I left the stock wooden grips on her as they are very nice. I put your set of stock rubber grips on my 75 Shadowline, I have medium large hands and I found the rubber grips so much better than the aluminum thin grips. The metal grips are just not for me. I would trade the Aluminum for the wooden grips in a hear beat.

Take Care

Bob
