For once, it's not your fault. The closest I've come to two-tone was stainless and that was classless enough. Park, blued, or hard chrome. Nickel may be acceptable if you like to dress up, like .38 super, are Mexican, or all of the above.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Two tone is all right with me as long as the print isn't too small  :P
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

A tiger stripe one, like this:



I saw a Glock on FB done up in pink tiger stripe. I very nearly puked.

If you wish to pimp your gun, just remember, stay classy my friends (unless it's already puke worthy, in which case, you can just go nuts)

That is so far over on the ugly continuum that it actually comes back around and encroaches on looking good.

Two-toned 1911s should never exist! They are a perversion of nature, and everyone should hate them!

As much as it pains me to report this, Fistful is entirely correct.

If G-d had intended for 1911s to be two-tone, He would have caused John Moses Browning (may he rest in peace, all hail JMB) to design it that way.

IMNSHO, an equal (or greater) perversion is 1911s with Damascus slides.

No, no, no, guys, THIS is the perfect pistol for Fisty. Not a 1911, but that's a lot of gun for a guy like him, so instead I offer a little .380 with 1911 style action, in two-tone lovely colors for our boy - the Rainbow finish.  >:D

And I am ashamed.

It's even more hideous in person, but BSL, if that's what you like, I support you in being the most girly person I know!  :laugh:

Thanks, Fistful! I never even considered a two tone 1911.

I really like the black over stainless. Will have to put that on my wish list!
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Fistful, it's moments like this where you must really hate it always being your fault.

Two short, non-compound sentences are considered a rant now? Standards are just slipping all over the place these days.

Fair point I also considered. Perhaps this should be classified as "a runt."

Meh. It's helpful when those with poor taste self-identify.  :P
