That's crazy talk.

She already has her eye on a silver Wilson. We'll see what Santa brings this year.

Nice gun Mrs.Tungsten! I have a Taurus Ultra-Lite in that color......it doesn't have the concealed hammer though. I really like those Lady Smith's and the concealed hammer is nice for carry. It wont snag on your clothing and it won't get fuzz or lint in/around the hammer area. I might have to get one of those some day! Good choice! If you don't mind me asking.....how much did that set you back?

Update...

Ordered the "Pink Lady" color Duracoat from Lauer Custom Weaponry today. Order includes the pink Duracoat, white Duracoat base, reducer and flex agent. Once these arrive, I will remove the grips from the gun and paint them with an airbrush. Hopefully it will hold up fairly well.

Nice choice!

Update again...

We've been really busy the past few weeks so I haven't gotten around to painting the factory grips on Mrs. Tungsten's #642 yet. But that may have turned out to our advantage as I just got off of a call to Smith & Wesson and ordered a pair of the factory pink rubber grips.

The rep I spoke to said that they were down to just a few of them left so I'm glad I called. I mentioned that they could sell a ton of those grips if they'd start producing them again and advertise them on their site, and he agreed that it was worth mentioning to the sales manager.

He also stated that the Julie Goloski edition M&P 9mm was finally shipping out to distributors and retailers.

Anyway, here's what the pink J-Frame grips look like:

I hope Angel does'nt see this.

See, procrastination DOES payoff.

BTW, that is a nice looking revolver with or without the pink grips.

I hope Angel does'nt see this.

Umm, you need to go ahead and give them a call and get some ordered...

[Guest Verbal Kint]

Hmm... that gun looks awfully familiar.

Still debating hiding it in my safe and not giving it to her right away. Not like she even logs in enough on here to see this post.

[TGO David]

Hide it. Let her catch you carrying it some day.

My chair can be raised, tyvm!

[Guest Verbal Kint]

She thinks she's the one getting the gun.

Too bad my girlfriend says differently.

[Guest Valkyrie]

Make me pistol-whip you with YOUR gun.

Definitely safe on this one... the dresser drawer is twice as high as the computer desk.

[Guest Valkyrie]

>.< I can still reach it, kkthx! If it IS too high, there are these magical things call STEP STOOLS! GASP

[Guest Verbal Kint]

Yeah... cuz we know how your last STEP went.

Want to share with the rest of TGO why you are on crutches?

[Guest Valkyrie]

I hate you. Just thought I'd let you know.

[xd shooter]

Now that's love!

[Guest Angel 24/7]

How sweet!

[Guest Verbal Kint]

How sweet!

The said thing is... we've been this way (really argue like this in real life) since we dated. That's how we know we're still in love.
