The crux of the matter

When you get right down to it, the biggest reason I'm going to Pittsburgh next week is to meet a lot of you. And I am incredibly eager to do so. Putting faces and handshakes with handles on the screen will be wonderful.

I'm not generally a "polished" kind of guy. Jeans and a t-shirt, two-day face-fuzz, hiking boots, etc. That's how I'll look for most of the weekend. I reckon I'll clean up as best I can for prom night... but that begs one question:

WHAT GUN FOR GUNNIE PROM??

And, obviously, the corollary:

OPEN CARRY?? (Just because we can, and hey, our lawyer is that guy right there!)

If there's a better night for a court or BBQ rig, I don't know what it would be. Decisions to make...

  1. In this, the year of our Lord 2011, it is troubling that a good man must ask these questions.

    1911. Yes.

    Was that so hard? ;-)

  2. Thing is, Loki, I don't have a dressy 1911. I've got my parkerized GI-style Springer with some decent grip panels, but it's not dressy. If I had a nice stainless Commander, that'd be a no-brainer.

    I'm leaning towards the nickel S&W Model 21, actually.

  3. I don't have ANY dressy guns...nor a dressy holster. Oh well - my tupperware will just have to stay hidden...

  4. Walther PPK seemed to be the standard that Mr. Bond set 50 years ago, so if it was good enough for James....

  5. I always went with N Frame Smiths, highly polished with custom stocks.
    Elegant!
    I was especially fond of the pre-27 5", with Herretts or Jordans.
