#1 Thought the gold plated gun went out with Saddam's sons, but bad taste is sort of a universal constant.

#2 Never did care for pimp guns... including the ones advertised in the NRA rag every month.

#4 the pimp guns are still popular with the sicarios, when you have more money than sense you have to find crap to spend it on.

#5 OK. Being a Yankee, I speak under correction, but can some one of our Texas cousins explain to me the difference between a "pimp gun" and a "barbeque gun"... other than who owns it?

#6 OK, Mercutio, it's a matter of application.
'Pimp guns' and 'barbeque guns' are supposed to be seen and shown off socially. However, pimp guns are also supposed to be used socially. Most BBQ guns are only ever fired in the air (New Years, July 4th, Cinco de Beero, it's Saturday, and the like.)

#7 Until today, I didn't know BBQ guns were a thing.

#10 Further clarification: "Pimp guns are carried by the bad boys, tend to be chrome plated or titanium nitride coated (looks gold). Frequently used to end a discussion.
"BBQ guns" generally show up when somebody throws a big BBQ or such and a next door neighbor's brother-in-law has piece he's proud of.
It's that "ooh shiny" thing.
Note that these are metal guns, Glock's need not apply. And extra points are given if in black teflon or ceracoat.
