    Default Shiny things!

    My meeting today got delayed, so I stopped in to the LGS to kill some time. Strolling back to the rear counter, something caught my eye. It was about the prettiest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

    A shiny nickel plated RIA 1911. It gleamed like liquid mercury, ready to flow. Hard to take my eyes off it. Until I caught a glimpse of the $700+ price tag, that is.

    Next to it, placed quite deliberately I’m sure, was a new Colt Gold Cup, with its brushed stainless finish and blue Formica grips. I’m sure the Gold Cup is a fine firearm, but that slippery gleaming Rock was the smokin’ hot gal that turned my head.

    I’m certainly not taking her home with me, I’ll leave her for some other guy to caress. But I expect I’ll remember her for a long time.

    Ahh...as I recently told my spouse approved girlfriend, about to turn 45 and not as hot looking as she was 20 years ago, at lunch awhile back...."Pretty is not the same as truly attractive."

    That's true for me, anyway. I'd take the Gold Cup.

    Yup, me to. Gold Cup all the way although I have toyed with a Rock 9mm 1911. Not sure why but the desire is there.
    Maybe as I get older I don't really want to take anybody out with my 45. I'll just ruin their day with a 9.

    That would be a factory nickel plated, proof marked, W. German P220 45 ACP
    It's one of those guns that's just too nice to carry (afraid of using and loosing it).
    When I want to carry a shinny Sig.
    It's my all Stainless Steel (frame and slide), +P rated, P220 ST 45 ACP.
    Loaded with Winchester Ranger T Series +P 230 gr JHPs...

    Never been into high gloss stainless myself. Matte finish for me. I do like high gloss in (real) blued, however.
