What’s your BBQ gun?

Serious question.... do people go to a BBQ with their BBQ guns? Some time later in the day they are all whipping them out to the oohs and ahhs of admiring fans?

Darned toot'n. My mom's a TX gal and I've inherited her ways: and so if I go to a BBQ in NC, I need visibly to project force.

Is this really a thing?

If so, I guess mine would be a Monson, Mass Dan Wesson .357. It’s rare enough where most folks will have never held one. And cool enough where it would appeal to anyone who likes pistols. It might not be shiny enough to win a beauty contest, though.

I don’t know the “history” of the term “Barbecue Gun”. Maybe it’s a western thing for which us eastern rubes have no experience, but there is a history of “gentlemen” shooting things like parlor guns in their in-home ranges after dinner, while the women skee-dattled, and the men smoked cigars and proved their marksmanship. Started in western Europe.

This one was dang accurate.

They also serve as working guns.

Ooooo still looks good!!

LizardKing · Dec 12, 2020

Model 29-2 8 3/8"
One of my favorite guns to shoot and its been shot a good bit. But... My true BbQ gun would have a belt and boots to match the holster. Still trying to figure out if I want to go ostrich or stingray.

I wish it still looked like that. That was a glamore shot when it was new with some fancy grips.

As long as it still does what it's supposed to do, it's good! None of those guns can look ugly, at least not to me.....but I may be a little weird.

No, it’s not a thing...because you can’t actually go to a BBQ. You can eat BBQ. You can go to a cook-out, or a pig pickin’, or even a block party...but not a BBQ. 😎

Stinger?

no, I’m shooting an original Browning model 1919 In the pic. It had a much slower cyclic rate than the aircraft Stinger version (500 rpm versus 1000+ for the stinger).

Originally 30-06, that one was rechambered in 8mm Mauser due to the lower cost of the ammo.

this would be my choice out of all my revolvers.
my.smith model 10 3imch
@Bull Durham that's one of my grail guns I have a 686 but not the model you have
Gotta admit I'm a little jealous
That's a beautifull gun

No one loves a 3” K Frame More than me. This Model 13 is one of my favorites

It's those Ivory or even Sand Bar Stag grips that do it. lol

Gator · Dec 13, 2020

Picking from what I currently have, it would be the 4" Model 29.

Either that or my Keltec P32.

NKD · Dec 13, 2020

Same gun as my non-bbq gun.
Glock42 or 43.

I also wear the same clothes and shoes to BBQs. And arrive in same car.

303hunter · Dec 13, 2020

Picked up this 38 special 3” SP101 recently from another member. It’s definitely purdy enough for a barbecue!
