Well Chris as the old line goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." In my eyes I like it and would carry it. There's something fascinating about it.

Keep in mind however, I had no real problem with the Edsel either.

To each their own, but appears to me that someone had way to much time and money.

True, true... perhaps with a different set of grips...

I'll betcha if Colt marketed this as a "Ladycolt" model to all the wimmin' out there they'd probably sell a bunch of them.

At least it looks as far from an "icky gun" as I can think of. As it is, I've seen guns a LOT more utt-bugly than this one.

The grip's aren't really that bad, but I could do without the extended Slide Stop, and would have a different rear sight.

The Bevel/Melt on the muzzle looks nice though.

The only other thing... While I like Blue, as a color, Blue has been associated with Simunitions/Training-Safe guns, so having a Blue gun for carry might not be a good idea.

I guess I was using "ugly" for want of a better term.

My Motorola cell phone is blue and silver and beige. It sort of came to mind when I saw that Colt. I find it really hard to warm up to having any part of a serious gun colored electric blue like that.

In Patton, the general denies having pearl handles on his guns, saying that "only a pimp in a New Orleans whorehouse" would have pearl handles on his gun.

(His, Patton's, were ivory, I understand. )

Splash-anodize the slide purple, add a hopper, maybe a shot-count LED device, and you gots yourself one nice paintball gun.

YUCK!

That thing HURTS to look at!

Just think, if the anodized finish ever got scratched, you could touch it up with nail polish.

It should have something red in the gun so it can look more patriotism.

 

[Chico]

It's "too pretty" to shoot. I would not own anything I could not shoot. ...now a fire-engine red frame might look good...

 

[Finna]

I would carry it when I'm out pimpen with my leapord skin seats.

 

[jaydee]

I dunno... I guess it would just go really nicely with one of those Blue & White Dodge Viper GTS's

 

[Gonzo308]

There oughta be a law.....

 

[BKC45ACP]

i don't think women that shoot like this stuff either. That does have a very distinked look though.

 

[Black Pearl 45]

HEY!!! i kinda like it

too bad the grips arent black

Caspian frame + Colt parts = Col-spian? or Cas-olt?

 

[Ken Neal]

Needs curb feelers too.

 

[Electric_Armadillo]

Theres a girl I know that would like one painted pink with red hearts on the grips.
