Do you have a "Dress" Handgun?

[Bubbajms]

A buddy of mine asked me to be in his wedding the other day, and of course, I accepted. Through our friendly banter he teased me, saying that Glocks weren't allowed at the wedding because they would look funny with the tuxedo getup he'd picked out, which made me laugh, of course

But it got me thinking..

Who's got a handgun that they only break out for special occasions? If so, what is it?

 

[rmcrob]

You mean a barbecue gun? I don't have one yet.

 

[shooter521]

Yes. If I am dressed, I have a handgun.

 

[Cwood]

I don't wear dresses, so no I don't have one.

For SEMI-FORMAL events, where I want a nice gun, a little flash, but still remain a level of understated elegance, a nice set of turquoise grips on an original Detonics Combat Master does the trick:

Of course, for BBQs, Weddings, and other fun stuff I bring out the good stuff, fully engraved, even the bottom of the magazine is engraved

Now if we just want to be serious, and formal, but no flash, (think funerals) it is hard to beat genuine african elephant ivory on a black pistol:

I don't wear dresses, so no I don't have one.

How about a Kilt?

I have a set of matched, Pearl handled Colts (45) in a nice Mernickle rig for BBQ's, and a dressed Les Baer for city-fied gatherings. I'm still looking for a large period-correct Bowie for the cowboy rig, and a double edged rat-sticker for the dress rig, just to balance it out.

After my next deployment I will be getting a BBQ gun...
The things you do for good looking guns.

 

[Thrash1982]

Closest thing I have to a barbeque gun is my Kimber CDP Ultra.

 

[randyb]

My Kimber Eclipse would fit the bill for me.

 

[6birds]

If you ever want to sell that Ivory-on-Black piece, call me collect. That there is one fine looking gun!

 

[NateIU10]

Glock 19

Utility is sexy

 

[Dogman]

Kahr PM-9. Pocket carry or IWB.

 

[antsi]

I do have a gun/holster combo that is a better fit when wearing suit/tie clothing. In that sense, yes.

I do not have a fancy-looking gun that is intended to be on display when I am dressed for a formal occasion. In that sense, no - it's still concealed.

 

[cce1302]

No. All my guns are shooters. However, if I were to pick a gun to OC when I'm dressed nicely, It'd be my Inox Tomcat (with the purty rosewood grips) in my pocket, maybe S&W 327, or GP100 (once I complete my refinishing project on it).

My dress gun is a Kimber Ultra Raptor II in a black leather Galco holster.

 

[clt46910]

Mine would be my Kimber Eclipse Pro with black pearl in a custom black sharkskin belt and holster.

 

[tyler34]

XD9, the black is formal and if I put a little bow tie on it it's classy

 

[singlestacksig]

i have had to wear a tux to formal events . most of the time, the cut of the tux does not allow a full sized rig..
I have a nice PPK/S that i wear behind right hip but in a LH IWB .
it tucks right in and does not effect the looks of the tux..

for a BBQ gun i hav a kimber pro carry II.

 

[VN Vet]

I have a bright stainless 4" Python with white pearl-lite grips. That is as close to BBQ that I get right now.

 

[dkc485]

hmm, I'd probably just use a different holster personally. Like a nice leather one instead of the black nylon one i currently use.
