    Wow.............that's sure something.
    I doubt that any bullets will ever grace that gold plated bore.

    I agree as well however, the Starburst grips are in now and give it a modern twist. A hundred years from now an expert will immediately place that gun to this time.
    That is if the grips are still attached. Beautiful handgun. Now we need to gold plate some ammo to go with it.

    Mammoth grips from elenhunting.com might just do the trick. Have him send it over and I'll put them on for free. I won't fire it, I promise...................TW

    It's not my cup of tea either, but it's pretty much the ultimate BBQ gun.

    Interesting pistol. I still am baffled as to "Why?" but to each their own.

    Later, Lumpy.

    I would use another term Frank, but I do not want to hurt the feelings of the good guys at Wilson. The ... ugliness is not their fault. They've done a great work with it. The pistol is as tight as a vault.
