    Tasteful engraving or gold accents are one thing, but this isn't either.

    No mention of the artist or artists that did the work.

    I think if this gun were nickel-plated instead of gold it would look significantly better, the gold just makes it look too much like bling. I'm not a big fan of engraving an entire gun either, but there are some cases where it is tastefully done.

    For modern semi-autos and revolvers a little engraving can look good, especially against a nickel/chrome finish but if you're going to engrave a whole gun leave it to a single-action revolver or a 1911, other than that I haven't seen too many fully engraved guns that I would spend my own money on.

    Anyways, I think I better save this thread!

    Every now and then I remember what I had forgotten about living in Austin...
    It's that little bit of extra flair you get from being 4 hrs drive from the border...
    I so don't miss that flair...
