1911 BBQ 1911s , Lets see them!!!

[mexicanjoe]

Guys, Ruger 1911s have been around for a bit now, and I believe some of y'all have some BBQ rigs to carry them in..... So in fairness to all others, pull that piece out, and show us your rig!!!! Please feel free to express your personal tastes in leather and steel. Rule#1: no talking smack about another fellers gun........carry on:

 

[revhigh]

Uh ..... OK ... I'll bite .... What's a BBQ rig ? Personally ... I've never heard that term ....

No wonder I never heard of it ....

Oh yeah ... and I DON'T WANT ANY FLOWERS OR FRILLY VINES SCRATCHED ONTO MY GUNS ... or my holsters, or any other crap that does nothing for the gun's functionality. LOL.


Sorry, can't help you out with any pics.

You mean this?

(Oops, not a 1911 )

Or one of these:


Is this a Southern thing? http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-hand-ejectors-1896-1961/133380-bbq-guns.html

 

[revhigh]

Is this a Southern thing?

I certainly hope so .... It means I'll never have to see one again ....

Ugh .... I just threw up in my mouth .... I went to that site, and actually saw GUNS that had all kinds of frilly vines and flowers and other girly things scratched onto them .... I'm gagging again just thinking about it ....

Around my area .... If you showed up at a BBQ or picnic with a gun that looked like that ... 4 or 5 people would shoot you with their 1911's, just to put you out of your misery. It would be kinda like a humane euthanasia ....

I go to BBQs, but there is no way I am going to "out bling" a lot of the shiny, engraved, usually 38 Super 1911s. Not a Ruger but I have gotten good review from one of my Colt WWI repos in a repo of of an old US Army shoulder holster. Need to dig it out and take a picture of the holster.



Also not Ruger, but I do get comments when I take my 10mm DW, probably due to it having the bobbed rear and it is 10mm



Of course, if the BBQ is on the 4th of July then I do have one for that, also not a Ruger.

 

[revhigh]

That Classic's a nice gun .... Too bad it fell into a saw ....

The others are good clean 1911's as well .... Just the way they should be.

Don't hold back rev . . . let it all out . . .

No holdin' back here !!!

All in good fun I hope.

Uh, mexicanjoe, we kinda derailled your thread. Take it you have a BBQ gun/rig? You include a fancy holster it looks like. Let's see yours!

Obviously the mouth-breathers around here have no creativity or taste or imagination... :wink: Show us how it's done proper.

 

[revhigh]

Show us how it's done proper.

Nah .... No need to do that ..... LOL.

Someone has to show the exotic, artistic side of the hobby.

Otherwise the ol' curmudgeons just drag us all down . . .

 

[eveled]

Kind of funny, when barbecue guns come up in a revolver section, you get lots of great pictures of awesome guns. A 1911 just doesn't lend itself to that kind of modification. I'm with Rev on this one, I like 1911's plain and unadorned.

If I showed a picture of my barbecue rig, you'd see a fat man with an untucked Hawain shirt. Open carry is not legal here. Ed

 

[Ale-8(1)]

Just to be serious for a second . . .

There's engraving, and then there's engraving. You know what I mean. "Etching" is not engraving IMHO . . . yuck, sez me.

I find certain styles of engraving on certain guns to be attractive. Much, however is merely a distraction rather than an enhancement.

What I consider to be tasteful, artistic, skillfully-accomplished engraving is far beyond my means, so I cannot back up my comments with examples . . . but I know what I like and dislike. Same thing applies to carving/stamping on leather.

Your toys, your money, your choice.

And now . . . back to the free-for-all.

I can't imagine it getting more play than in this thread :lol:

 

[mexicanjoe]

Folks if I can figure out how to post pics,Ill post my one BBQ gun. my vcr still flashes 12:00!!! Around here a BBq gun is what is usually referred to as a "court gun". You put on your best boots, carved rig and best hat when you go testigy in court. And when you do yearly qualification, you take your carry guna dn your BBq gun; so as to have something to talk about/// All in good fun

I just received this one and changed grips.

 

[ruggedruger]

I saw one of these at my LGS, and thought it was a one-off piece. Were they a distributors' exlusive? (Don't worry, I don't want one).

I remember when CDNN was selling those for $299 in 38 Super.

I considered it just to get a gun cheap in 38 Super, which I still don't have. Then I reconsidered after I thought about how my buddies would have laughed me off the range.

The Taurus 1911's are great guns, but it would have cost more than it was worth to get rid of all that gold garbage.

Ahh yes, the limited edition CDNN Ugly Tree edition. Fell down the tree and hit every branch on the way down.

Still, if they were still running 299$ I would get one.
I have shot a Taurus 1911 in .38 Super and it was a decent gun so I would need a little bit of Krylon and about five minutes and there you have your budget .38 Super.

I think one of my brother's buddies actually bought one of these. I should see if we can get a few photos and a review out of him.

 

[ruggedruger]

My buddy has a black pt1911. I'd like to have one. It'd be my first 1911, and while I like the Ruger, they can be had for less $ and I love the all-black.

 

[revhigh]

Taurus 1911's are good guns ... I've shot several, and they all had nice triggers.

I'm sure even that hideous one shoots well.

REV

 

[SR Fan]

I don't know if this a BBQ gun.This my SR1911 with VZ operator in black desert sand with turbo screws and a Ed Brown arched MSH.

 

[ruggedruger]

That is sweet.

 

[revhigh]

Great grips !

REV

 

[SR Fan]

This a pic of my Remington R1 I saw this one at a LGS for 549.00 and i couldn't pass it up.I think they put the wrong price on it because the next identical R1 was priced 659.00.I put VZ ETC Grips in Hyena Brown and Wilson Combat frontstrap and Ed Brown arched MSH.I like a arched MSH

 

[modrifle3]

I bought one of those Taurus Chrome and gold editions for a Cuban gangster party I went to....just kidding.

 

[modrifle3]

I can't lie ... I kinda like it. But I like chrome guns.
