    I thought the 49 was a shrouded Bodyguard?

    It is, that's a Colt Detective special in the picture which doesn't get out often, hence the description of "barbecue gun". I've got a 1916 vintage 1911 with ivory grips that is my barbecue gun.

    She quit carrying the Colt and picked up the Model 49 for everyday use. I bought the Detective Special for her in 1979.
