Not my style. I bet that cost a few bucks for all that custom engraving.

The story behind the gun is probably better than the looks of the thing

That's just sad. That poor 1911 did not deserve to be treated like that.

Imagine the tattoos the owner had if this is how he tattooed his gun.

Clearly the owner had a problem with overcompensation. I wonder what General Patton would have said about it knowing how he felt about pearl grips being on a 45 let alone the engraving, I bet he would have slaped the owner of it. I just hope it wasn't a USGI 1911. I'm from Houston and am ashamed that came from my city.

I am really impressed with the "welcome to hell" on the muzzle.

Here are a couple of what ifs for you...
First if this gun was sold at auction how do you think it would do? Second if it was donated to say the National Firearms Museum would they accept, let alone display it?

What a tool, whoever owned that or made that should have saved the world and used it on himself. That is the ugliest POS that I've ever seen.

That pistol is the mcshizzle. Austin Powers or Auric Goldfinger would probably pay one million dollars for such a fine piece.

That is the most hideous abomination of a 1911 that I have ever seen.

That pistol is referenced in "Homicidal Humor" which was written by a retired Houston PD Homicide Detective. The pistol was at the Saxet show when I and a friend purchased the book. Very interesting book, and a very interesting man to speak with. He knew my friends uncle from HPD, but I would imagine he is a rather gregarious sort with fellow shooters regardless.
The owner of that particular 1911 was indeed a contract killer in Houston. Probably killed about 12 folks with it. His smith would occasionally have to rebuild it, regardless of condition, and the owner took all the parts with him. Oh and the gentleman in question did pimp in Houston as well. |

I'm gonna go the other way, I think it's awesome. I've always wanted a gold vagina or three on a firearm.

Damn I was hoping to see real skin. I guess someone will have to go to church and pray after seeing that. But anyway WTF was that gut thinking?

I'd use it, but my CCW cover might be blown because I know I'd feel compelled to wear a feathered hat and a white fur coat along with carrying it.
