It is about as real as Charlie's Angels. I keep waiting for Bozley to walk in and order some pink guns for the Angels.

The pink gun thing happened already.
Silly show.

This is Colorado. Roaming blocks of ice have killed a number of people in recent years, but the police refuses to do anything about them.

Yes, hence the reference. The owner nicely revealed his overly sexist views about "men's guns" and how he felt it would be so insulting to America's servicemen to have a pink 1911...as if all the veterans would stop doing business with him because he customized a gun in pink.
He may be that sexist, but I think his surprise at doing a pink gun had to be completely fabricated. Pink guns have been marketed for at least a decade. He acted as if the concept was completely foreign to him.

I don't care for the drama, but I like the guns. Actually, I like watching the gunsmiths make, or customize, the guns. The kid that does the engraving does great work.
I really enjoyed watching the making of the hand cannon.

I wish to remind everyone that if you start to discuss the women, at best your post is deleted, you get an infraction or you are banned. As in the other thread.

I've seen three episodes and I can't decide if I'm going to continue to let the TiVo record them.
So far, you can almost set your watch as the script "unfolds."
Someone will wander in with a basic idea... top dog owner guy will then create the whole project with almost zero input from the customer, at some ungodly horrific expense as if millionaires walk through the gun shop's front door on a daily basis. He'll "fabricate" the whole thing "from scratch."
He agrees on a deal, usually north of $10,000. Then he runs downstairs and tells his crew what he wants. Then the crew goes to work. ONE of them will screw something up and the big bossman will be annoyed, jump in and do that part himself.
The gun will get done and the customer will fall all over himself at the incredible product.
There will also be one trip in the helicopter to some multi-millionaire's home where some guy will (for an unknown reason since he's in a 10-million dollar home) need to sell 20-50 guns. They haggle over a price, shoot a couple, big bossman makes some "really tough" shot to impress the owner, maybe even tie it in to the cost of the deal. Then bigbossman will throw down banded currency and when they can't agree, he'll put precious metals on top of the cash with some cute quip and the deal will get done.
Along the way, there will be some minor conflict between characters on the show... bro/sis, bigbossman/wife, etc etc. They will occasionally use some transitional song or tune recycled from a Pawn Stars episode.
It's better than daytime TV, but the show is even better when the sound is on mute and the screen is turned off. I most enjoy the episodes when they are on upstairs, and I'm down in the man cave at the load bench.

Good analysis of the story line. I think I am now watching just so I can comment on this kind of thread.BlackJackID

I havent watched the show yet, so I don't have a personal opinion...however after reading threads here...Well...There is a reason I havent watched it. I am normally for any mainstream media that promotes our hobby...However, what light is this putting on it?
