That doesn't show the whole firearm, but it sure looks like a Kel Tec P32 with a pink frame to me. Don't want to sound cocky, but I'd have noticed it. They come in green too. I think Glock colors frames also.
That's a new debate; Must a gun "look" a certain way??? Heck, you point it at me, you've got my attention.

Posted last without watching the video. My opinion hasn't changed. Paint it any color you want. Would you mistake a cammo shotgun for a tree branch?

Would you mistake a pink pistol for a kid's toy? When it's pointed at you? At night in a bad neighborhood? Held by a 16 year old "sagg'n?" You only have a split second to decide. Cammo is one thing, pink, or green, or sky blue with red polka-dots is quite another.

IMHO it is irresponsible to paint a gun to make it look like a toy. How many cops or kids are going to die because of it? A few years ago, some kids got shot by lighting up police officers with laser pointers. Dumb idea.

Your mileage may vary.

You may have missed my point. I wasn't ADVOCATIONG painting it any color, it was a cliche, kinda' like "put lipstick on a pig and it's still a pig". By paint it any color you like I meant that it doesn't matter, it's still a firearm. Therefore, one has just made an irresponsible decision. I could pick it out from a picture. I don't think one should point a broomstick, much less a phony weapon at someone without expecting consequences. If a 16 year old "sag'gn" points a squirt gun at me I'd be upset. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

I've got a daugher on the way, and I think it would be the bee's knees to have a pink AR for her.

I guess I've come too close to shooting kids in the past, when they pointed real looking toys at me. Painting real guns to look like toys only makes recognizing real danger that much more difficult.

I too regret any misunderstanding.

In Freedom.

BOR, exactly - but I was thinking of duracoating the metal white to give it a softer, more feminine touch.

I hate to admit this, but I'm thinking of doing it to an 870 too (maybe an old Wingmaster, or a new Express).

My wife thinks its a good idea!

You're thinking of doing this for your kid... It's OK, I think. We won't take away your "man card". :lol:http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd198/St-Michael/roflmao.gif

When you get down to it, though, the "furniture" of the gun may be pink, but the bullets, accurately fired, are no less effective.

I have a Kel Tec that's OD and has a nickel slide on it. It does look a little bit fake, butI love it. I'm actually bugging my distributors all the time to get me a pink frame.

Maybe I should start working on some pink bullets, Hmmmm aluminum jacket, and some anodizing.... or maybe powdercoated casings, what do you think? :mrgreen:
