Pink pistols and progeny?

These are cute! :p I know it's just a color and it doesn't make any real sense, but as someone someone new to (intended) gun ownership, I'd be more likely to pick one up and feel more confident. If they help you feel more confident with it, that's a good thing, yes?
 
Whatever it takes.....

I'm all for colored guns. Whatever it takes to get folks into the shooting sports.

Not all guns need to be blued or stainless, or park black.

I don't care what color the gun is, it needs to be treated with respect. I have NO doubt that my Daughter will always respect firearms.*

I built this gun for my daughter, complete with Duracoat Bronx Rose. She's now 11 and loves showing off her AR .22 PINKER....

*Anecdote: Last thanksgiving, we celebrated at my brother's house. He had a couple AR lowers that needed to be built so while dinner was in it's finishing touches, we went ahead and put them together.

My brother's girlfrend's son (17 at the time) was interested in building his own rifle, and was watching intently. My brother asked me to check the foregrip on his current AR and brought it out as we were finishing up the lowers. He set it down, leaning against the couch. I looked over, and asked my daughter (10 at the time) to clear the weapon and make it safe. She picked up the rifle, pointed it in a safe direction, pulled back the charging handle, visually checked the chamber then rolled the gun so I could check the chamber while declaring, "This rifle is clear and safe. Do you agree?" My brother's girlfriend's son just looked at her and said, "No way," as he shook his head in disbelief that a 10 year old girl knew her way around an AR.

Proud daddy moment right there.

Talking about colored guns....

The women in my family don't seem to like pink guns. They all like the traditional blue steel/walnut look. I don't blame them for feeling that way. A gun is a very serious self defense tool and I wouldn't want it to appear any less serious than it is. Pink has a way of softening up the look but you really want the gun to say that you're playing hard ball here and you want the bad guy to know that.

Those Charter Arms revolvers are starting to grow on me but at first I thought they were ugly. Taurus also has a line of small revolvers with mother of pearl grips, gold plated cylinder latches and gold plated triggers. Taurus also used to have some prettied up semiautos that were high-polished chrome with mother of pearl grips and gold plated controls. Some people consider these to be pimp guns.

I have to admit that these Taurus guns are tastefully designed and they look cool. For people who want to accessorize their gun to match their jewelry, I suppose that would be the way to go. However, the gun is supposed to be concealed so nobody should see it anyway.

On the other hand, there are definite advantages and disadvantages to having a gun that looks so distinctive.
 
IF you want a pink pistol for whom ever....choose the firearm, brake it in and then send it to Rocky Mountain Arms in Colorado. They will finish it in pink !

They did the "PINK" pistols in Pamela Anderson's V.I.P. detective show that was on cable.

They also did a bunch of AMT Back-ups in 380 for Harry Sanford at AMT back in the day for "Gifts"

their website is www.bearcoat.com :D
 
I have to admit, if I could own this in my state, I would:

I have a friend whose mom speaks well of her Lady Rossi (although she prefers more power), and this is about as cute as can be.
 
I have no problem with different color pistols for adults - shoot whatever you like. But, I think they are a little gimicky to get a child into shooting. It takes the emphasis away from the seriousness of the skills and respect that need to be learned in the proper handling and shooting of a gun.

An initial gun experience for kids should be about function, not image.
