That post was not a troll. I had a very gothic wife who was to be the recipient, and I kinda looked forward to the build. It turned out to be an itch I never could quite scratch. The best candidate was a short barreled Webley, polished and black chromed, with silver inlaid spiderwebs on ebony grips. It was to have it's cylinder machined for .45ACP in moon clips, and be both effective and stylish. It was a bid to make her more enthusiastic about shooting, but it was never to be.
As it turned out it was easier to get a new wife than a handgun for the old one. This wife came into the marriage with guns of her own, and would rather get a new firearm as she would chocolates or flowers. She is a great Hunting, Fishing and Shooting partner, and doesn't need me do do any of it for her. She packs a Springfield XD .40 Subcompact, and shoots it very well indeed.
But thanks for all the suggestions back then. It was fun speculating and brainstorming with y'all. Future progects will likely be a bit more between the lines...lol
