Saw these on gunbroker.

Any takers?

Do you know how many guns you can buy for that amount of money? I'm not into all of that tricked out stuff. It's like having a framing hammer with diamonds and rubies embedded in the handle. The look nice but why?

 

[David the Gnome]

I would but I've already got a set on 3 on my 1911's......




























Seriously though- :barf::barf::barf:

Great barbecue gun, hey.

 

[JollyRoger]

For the shooter with lots of dollars and no sense.

 

[darrentxs]

Did you notice the seller ID? I bet the original owner is behind bars.

That'll go great in my hoster that's made of leather from sperm whales' foreskins.

 

[Playboypenguin]

I did not picture Liberace as a 1911 man. I would have thought more along the lines of a gold plated derringer.

I do hope the guy they confiscated that from actually committed a crime.

Grips for sale

Yep, those are my grips for sale. They hurt my hands when I shoot it. Just a tad bit of bite from the stones

That's funny....... Unless you are a sperm whale with a missing foreskin!

911 auto?

did anyone else notice the appraisal note says its a "911A1 45 automatic"
hmmmmmmmm

 

[B.N.Real]

Buy the gun.

Take off the grips.

Sell the rubies and diamonds for twice the price to a jeweler and buy all the guns you ever wanted.

 

[Allstar]

Ya, I am not buying into it considering I can't find the place at that address.

 

[Magyar]

It looks like something Arnold, a.k.a "Girly Man" would carry....
Actually, I think the grip would be horrible....

 

[Tom2]

Wahh..that is even too expensive for the appropriate customer, a fancy pimp. For the price they should throw in a gold plated 1911. Cheesy, like solid gold toilet seats. Some prince who is collecting your gas money has that.

 

[fastsix]

At least if someone tries to steal it you have something to protect yourself with.

 

[127gr+p+]

Rapper 50 cent is the high bidder.

 

[KyJim]

These grips would look soooo much better on high polish blue steel!

 

[Glockeroo]

$44,000 that could have been used for a much better cause - Homelessness, sick children, scholarship.
