I realize this may well be an odd question, but. . .
I have recently inherited a Colt Officer's ACP from a much beloved uncle who died of cancer. It was far and away his favorite pistol and one I intend to keep in the family. Recently a non-shooter friend suggested I might consider having my Uncle's name engaraved on the weapon. I have to admit the idea had kinda grown on me and I have considered perhaps have his name and Vietnam unit (173rd ABN BDE, the "Sky Soldiers") engraved on the slide.
My question(s): Is such a thing doable without harm to the weapon? If so, how would I go about having it done? Is it a patently stupid idea?
Any thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated.
