Don't forget to paint your bullets. That's what the bad guy should be seeing.
In other words, you're way overthinking this. You don't show bad guys your gun. You just shoot them with it. |

Concealed means you can't see it..... why the fuck would the color matter?

Honestly, I like a tan color, because it doesn't show through a white shirt as much as black does, and I usually wear my shirts a little tight.

Some color like pink. Why?
A guy I knew was driving down the freeway when some jerk cut him off. To make a long story short, the other guy gets road rage, puts a minor dent in the guy's car and they both pull off to the side to settle it. Turns out the other guy was a deputy sheriff and got out of his car with his gun in hand, and then called the cops on the guy I knew. The deputy claimed that the guy was waving a gun. The guy wound up with a big legal hassle, had his guns at home seized, and a lot of lawyer bills. The only thing that saved him was a witness who saw the whole thing (saved after some lawyer bills). Therefore, the gun should be pink. Why? Because, if you ever get into court with someone who is making a false claim that you pulled a gun, you can simply ask: What color was it? Maybe we can reshape Arfcom to recognize pink as a manly color. |

View Quote Bingo! When you pull your gun to save your life because you are in danger of being killed......, the last thing you should be worrying about is what color your gun is. You need something else to worry about. |

Hey, I shopped the "Pale White Belly" color concept around to a number of manufacturers a few years ago, and none of them were interested.
I still think my PWB pistols would have been a hit. |

So you don't get shot in the split second that you have to draw (while being under gun point) If he doesn't know what you have in your hand (until it's too late..), maybe he won't shoot? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

If a pistol being painted some 'out of the ordinary color' might cause a tango to not comprehend what he is seeing when you draw...it might give you a micro-second's advantage. In that vein...wouldn't a flesh-tone gun be best? |

Paint it to look like a wad of money. That is what they are expecting to see.
