Pimping guns.. for show.

Why not. You put lights in your computer case? Wax your car? Same thing. It actually looks a lot better than those crappy pictures show. And yes I have 2 Sigs and 3 Glocks. It can be hard to tell the mags apart. 10mm is pretty easy just from the size but try telling a 9mm from a .40 and a .357 Sig. Even doing it visually can be pretty hard or impossible in low light. This makes it easy to tell as long as you can see anything at all. I did it on the magazines first and liked it so much I did it on the slides as well.

I stuck with white on the slides and red for the Glock mags logo but look on youtube and you will see guys doing zombie green and pink for the wife's guns.

So sweet...

You are French correct? Just curious if can you buy the same guns your police use? That Sig SP 2022 is the firearm of all the French police and the order for them was the largest order for any pistol post World War II anywhere in the world. Great little gun. I don't remember seeing gun shops in France. Switzerland on the other hand has as many as here in the US. Of course Switzerland was the only county in Europe I remember seeing gun shops in. Strange since European police carry submachine guns on the street. You will not see that here.

Magazine pimping job looks great, :)

I was wondering why you chose fingernail polish to do it, instead of an automotive or metal grade of paint?

Fingernail polish is really not designed to last but may last recessed like that indefinitely?
 


I was clearly stating the opposite however as you do not understand satire it is highly likely that you will continue to misunderstand.

TV shows like "The Goodies" are an excellent example of satire.

If the rest of the guys here took me seriously I'd have so many bullet holes in me now I'd look like Gadaffi ...

:)

 


From what I have read of other people doing it this is the easiest, least messy way of doing it. Apparently removing the excess paint when using the other types of paint you mentioned can be difficult. You don't really want to use anything more powerful than non acetone remover on your finish as well. Also from what I have read it will last a much longer time than you would think. As in over a year of fairly hard use. At least if you use acrylic enamel.
 


Funny that you mention Gadaffi.. he was shot by rebels.. in a country where firearms are heavily restricted. You can't buy/sell/trade/give them away, it's illegal.

Thanks for providing the argument against gun laws. 😀
 


That makes a lot of sense, nail polish would be much more durable on the fingernail itself if it wasn't for the fact the fingernail is actually growing, where as the metal surface is not.

 
The fingernail polish was also dirt cheap. I think it was $1.99 a bottle and the remover was $3 or $4. I spent about $10 overall for white, red, blue, and green and the remover. I think hobby paint is several times more expensive. And I would have had to drive to the other side of town to a Michaels or somewhere to get it. I only got 3 or 4 funny looks from teenage girls as I was crouched down at CVS comparing bright, gaudy nail polish brands! 😉
 


Actually we have a few drag bars in town and I was more tempted to say something like " What are you looking at honey? It looks better on me than on you!" :vip:

But then reality reared it's ugly head and I realized what an fugly tranny I would make. Besides, I don't want to get charged with terrorizing teenage girls!
 
To each his own I say.

 


Well at least it wasn't an assortment feminine hygiene products! :lol:

 


The entire Army just changed sides ... gave up and everyone got an AK suddenly.

It a third world vacuum everyone can have everything at once ... then nothing.
 
Because a 3rd world country is heavily dependent upon the government to provide what they get? Interesting concept Rey, very interesting.

How quickly it can be taken away when the government has it all.
 
More needless killings will happen. The U.S. is really Fu---d now!

 


Your not going to get all paranoid about your govt again are you?

Please don't scare me with anymore right wing tripe about the Govt in the US taking away all of your rights.

The biggest problem there is the loonies running around doing what they want because their rights are such that the place is out of control.

The govt in the US needs to crack down on your rights and get things under control.

The way I see it your country is ripe for civil war ... thats not a good thing for the rest of us "civilised folk" here on the planet.
 


Marv it's not like when someone owns a gun they're plotting to kill people, if a gun is bought for self protection that owner never hopes to end up killing with it.

The hardened criminal mindset is completely different they have no respect for the law or your rights, and will do anything to stay out of prison without hesitating to kill the victim, or victims, of their crimes.

Personally I think you've been extremely lucky not to have experienced what could criminally happen to you, for you to have the attitude you display, and I hope you never do experience it.
 


Did you not the see news recently about our "rights" here in the US? :)

I live a short drive from the NSA's super computer used for gathering all that information. I think it was built between 2009-2011.
