Wedding Gun

[Matt_SERE]

Sorry, but this is as g@y as a BBQ gun.

If you are going to get a gun, buy whatever you enjoy.

Make up your mind, dammit!

Absolutely nothing wrong with having a BBQ/Collector gun as your carry piece. Just don't bitch if you have to use it.

Turnbull does some amazing work on Colts. The price to refinish can easily be worth more than the cost of the gun.

However...

Turnbull Introduces BBQ Series 1911 Pistols

The following is a press release from Turnbull Turnbull Restoration & Manufacturing Co. of Bloomfield, New York is proud to

Old school Colt revolver with ivory grips, Patton style. Or a 1911 so you can jam with style.

But remember, America's toughest WW2 general did not carry a 1911, he knew better.

The Carry Guns of George S. Patton :: Guns.com

General George S. Patton, who carried his trademark revolvers on his hips during the war, was probably the most easily recognizable general. Here are his known, and lesser known, guns.

Patton’s obvious preference was for revolvers, but during WWII he did also carry a Colt Pocket Model hammerless, as well as a Remington Model 51 .380.

Is this going to be church wedding?
Because if Jesus carried, I am pretty sure it would be a 1911.

Also, what if you actually needed a firearm at the wedding? Like lets say terrorists want to crash your infidel wedding? .380? I don't think so.
1911 in a shoulder rig with dual mag pouches. 9in the gun, 16 in the holster.
At the very least, you want a 226. What if the DJ you hired is involved in a gang war and his rival Poop Dog drive byes the reception?
Yeah, I know the 92 is the same caliber (probably) but the Sig is cooler.

I’ll let you borrow my Nazi HiPower if you want to get weird.

You have to promise me to shoot yourself in the foot with it afterward though...because that’s what you’re doing by getting married.

I’m almost kidding...but congratulations on whatever you decide and I hope the misses let’s her new f***-boy enjoy it after the divorce.

Cheers

Gaddafi's gold plated Hi Power. Actually that is a closely guarded treasure in Libya. A copy would do. I believe it is called the Centennial.

 

[AHM]

Normally, I'd just say 1911.
But an older cultural tradition sez: Uzi.


Besides, it even goes well if it's a Jewish (or mixed) wedding.

 

[Randy Lahey]

And match your underwear. You would know that if you were a real operator and not a keyboard commando.

Operator rule #1 - Always match the underwear.

What if you’re not a keyboard commando but you “go commando”?

 

[enbloc]

You beat me to it...

In your honor Sir:

 

[hminsky]

John Moses Browning carried a Baby Browning , just FYI. If it was good enough for him ...

 

[TrashcanDan]

Either of these should work

Go big or go home

 

[gerrycaruso]

Whatever you carry every other day.

I've already discussed this with my significant other. B&T Station Six-9.

 

[Talon3]

Thats sweet a star wars theme R2D2

Next time quote it all.

BBQ guns are f*cking lame.

Turnbull does an amazing job with their finishes.

 

[jek]

Just remember, size matters.

 

[namedpipes]

Redneck shotgun, duh

 

[allen-1]

Carry a 25 if it makes you feel good, but do not ever load it. If you load it you may shoot it. If you shoot it you may hit somebody, and if you hit somebody, and he finds out about it, he may be very angry with you.”
– Col. Jeff Cooper

 

[40 Creedmoor fan]

Polished(not black!) PPK if you want to portray James Bond classy.
1911 with inlays, not regular kind, if you want to show how rich you are.
Anything else has no panache:they're just tools. But those two guns have status!

Wow. Apparently this is a real thing that happens.

Is the photographer still alive?

 

[5 DOLLAR FOOT LONG]

Wedding seems like an opportunity for an extreme purchase to kind of fly under the radar.

Remember to file down the firing pin before you leave the house.

 

[FiremanBob]

Your marriage is the perfect opportunity to upgrade to a 1911 you can be proud of. If it were me, I'd get a Dan Wesson or SIG We the People model. I'm not in the Cabot price range.

 

[namedpipes]

John Moses Browning carried a Baby Browning , just FYI. If it was good enough for him ...

In the case of many shotgun weddings, the baby comes along a bit sooner than 9 months later

 

[KMM696]

Savage 1907 - never mind the PPK

 

[tuna]

Gen 2 SAA in .357. Go for Royal Blue, not the shiny shit.

 

[vicpinto]

I'm on the PPK train as well. Just goes well with a tux.

 

[timbo]

Kolibri 2.7 mm

 

[madmas1208]

If you are wearing aTux then it has to be the PPK, if you just happen to be marrying an ax-murderer then bring the 1911.

 

[TOM1960]

Not the father but maybe Joe, everyone's favorite uncle!

Does the father of the bride get a choice of shotguns?

 

[Matt2109]

I don't understand wanting to carry a special gun on a wedding day but congrats on the wedding.

This, Unless it is an "open carry" wedding then somthing special may be warranted. Assuming that you plan to carry concealed, don't know why you would not carry whatever you carry daily or whatever will work with the outfit.

Congratulations!

The only appropriate answer for this question is of course dueling pistols.
