Alright guys..



I'm in the market for a pink hangun.  I've never researched for pink hanguns before, so I'm not sure who all makes one or what calibers are available?

Just get a black one and have it cerakoted.  Trust me.  Much better off getting the handgun you want, and then making it the color you want, than to try to find a handgun based off of the color.  

but if you insist on buying pink from the factory, I think walther makes a pink p22.  IDK about anyone else.

I think Taurus made some pink pistols.  Charter Arms makes one.  I am not really up on the manufacturers for several reasons.  The main one is I don't like pink handguns.  If a gf/wife had to have one, I would finish it myself.  All of the factory produced pink pistols that I have seen looked really poorly done.

Once you realize that you have to finish it yourself, all calibers are available.

I would strongly consider buying a set of water buffalo bone grips and dying them pink with RIT dye.  I have done this with purple, and it came out quite well.  Pink ought to work just fine.

Duracoat makes pink paint.  I am not too sure if any of the bake on paints come in pink or not.  I have seen some extremely well done pink pistols on the internet, and it seems like this would be the way to go.

You could check out the re-finishing forum, I am sure some of the people there have finished pink pistols.

You want a pink handgun is a pretty wide request.  I have seen a lot of pink handguns in various calibers fro .380 to 45ACP and larger you need to narrow it down.

Ruger makes a pink LCP.

My teenage daughter told me last week that she wants to start shooting pistol competitions with me but said she had one condition. She wants to shoot a Glock and it has to be pink. I'm going to use one of the quality coatings available. Cerakote if they make pink since I've heard it's the most durable of the epoxy finishes.

Definitely choose the gun you want and have it coated instead of buying a gun just because it's pink.

Yep.  Don't pigeonhole yourself into the limited selection of pink handguns just because of color.  Cerakoting is not that expensive.

I agree with this.  Cerakote is your answer.  But the Sig Misquito comes in pink if you want a .22.

Unless of course the gun you want actually comes in pink..

My friend had his daughters Glock frame dipped in Muddy Girl Camo.  It looks great and she loves it.
