Frequently Asked Questions

What is considered a 'barbecue gun'?

A 'barbecue gun' or 'holiday gun' is a firearm carried for special occasions like holidays, weddings, or social gatherings. The emphasis is on a gun that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for display, while also being practical enough not to cause undue worry if exposed to minor environmental factors like cake icing.

What makes a firearm a good 'barbecue gun'?

A good barbecue gun balances beauty with practicality. It should be attractive, perhaps with custom engraving or nice grips, but not so rare or expensive that you'd be overly concerned about it getting a scratch or a bit of cake icing on it at an outdoor event.

What are some examples of firearms suitable for holiday carry?

Examples discussed include engraved revolvers like the Ruger GP100, Smith & Wesson Model 29, Smith & Wesson 629, and Taurus 605 Executive. High-end semi-automatics like the CZ Shadow 2 and custom Nighthawk models are also mentioned for those seeking a more premium option.

Why might someone choose a revolver over a semi-automatic for a special occasion?

Some individuals opt for revolvers for holiday carry, even if they typically use semi-automatics, because revolvers can be perceived as 'prettier' or more distinctive. This choice often aligns with the desire for a firearm that stands out aesthetically for special events.
