Depending on date, type of weapon, manufacturer, safety features, position of the weapon when it lands, if there's an idiot like you who drops it, and whether or not a round is in the **** chamber.

Yeah, yet ANOTHER insane liberal just like you, this one was black (and undoubtedly a Democrat) and who was likely a BLM or Antifa follower.
So, a "melt" is where a custom gunsmith or custom shop smooths and polishes all of the edges of a pistol so that it will not snag on anything when deployed. That is a super high polish, blued finish.DeplorablePatriot » 01 Jun 2022, 8:01 pm » wrote: ↑ Dayam, that is a beauty! What is a "melt gun?"
What kind of finish is on it? I'd be afraid to take it down and make a scratch!
LOL - It's about as durable as a fine crystal champagne glass. I recall being told the finish is nothing more than professional hot blued. The trick in getting that look is in the meticulously high-polish on good steel - that's where the art is.Squatchman » 01 Jun 2022, 11:08 pm » wrote: ↑ That is pretty!
I've never seen that finish before.
Is it durable?
I wondered because if it were durable I think it would be on more guns.Skans » 02 Jun 2022, 8:16 am » wrote: ↑ LOL - It's about as durable as a fine crystal champagne glass.

I think that gun would look great even with a different finish. Would like to see something like that in a lightly polished/brushed stainless with bead-blasted top. You could shoot-carry it and it would be durable enough and still look nice. But, that glossy black/blued finish - yeah, that is one beautiful finish. Even better than my Pythons.Squatchman » 02 Jun 2022, 10:11 am » wrote: ↑ I wondered because if it were durable I think it would be on more guns.
But it sure is cool looking.
Slippery looking too.

I originally saw this gun posted on a firearms forum some years ago and discussed it with its owner. I forget who did the work - I want to say Turnbull, but I think it was some lesser known shop. (IIRC, the base gun itself is not a collector's piece, just a solid Officer's Model 1911)
Now, this particular melt-job is more of a BBQ gun (gun meant only to be worn and shown off for special occasions) than a tool, but it is one of the slickest melt jobs I have seen, that I think is just stunning.
I have two Pythons one made in 1960 and the other in 1957. I had the '57 refinished by Colt and it came out looking fantastic. The 1960 was already pristine. I bought those Pythons to use in trade for a SIG AMT, a Swiss 308 rifle that I've always wanted.
I bought a Coonan Classic .357 automag when they started up shop again in the early 2000's. That gun never malfunctioned, recoil wasn't bad due to weight, and it was ACCURATE!Skans » 02 Jun 2022, 10:52 am » wrote: ↑ I have two Pythons one made in 1960 and the other in 1957.

When I can find a Sig AMT, they seem to be selling for over $8K now. The Pythons have gone up some, but not enough to get that Sig AMT....yet.
You don't come across those very often - I think they go for something like $3K+; could be off a bit there though.DeplorablePatriot » 02 Jun 2022, 11:06 am » wrote: ↑ I bought a Coonan Classic .357 automag when they started up shop again in the early 2000's.

I suppose you'd be one of the volunteers to knock on doors and try to take away a few million of those LEGAL guns from LEGAL gun owners, wouldn't you?

The truth will come out shortly, and you'll find out he was just another ignorant black who hates the country as much as you do, because he was a gullible follower of the fake news CNN just like you! And just like almost every other mass murderer who turns out to be a Democrat, no matter how hard you dumb libs try to spin that fact!

That's who's on your side, bitch, so better get your feeble excuses ready! You'll be needing them!

So let me get this straight. You really think that criminals or someone mentally unstable enough to plan a mass murder would FOLLOW A LAW, or be SO incompetent that they wouldn't be able to obtain one ILLEGALLY?!?!?

And exactly WHEN did an AR-15 or ANY rifle get elevated inside your warped mind to the point they too can be called a "weapon of mass destruction", just like a nuclear bomb, chemical, or a biological WMD's? Beyond that, I think it's well past time that you educate your stupid self to how despotic rulers throughout history first rounded up all the gun from the populace before installing their dictatorship, and just maybe you'll derive the reasons that our Founding Fathers made the right to bear arms the second-most important necessity in our Constitution, right after our freedom of speech!
Look at it this way, fool! The world is your oyster! You can pick ANY ONE of over a hundred countries who DO NOT allow their citizenry to own guns!
Pick one, and take as many liberals who are as dumb as you with them!
And one last thing, ****! I don't share my thoughts with you or humiliate you in order to convince someone so ignorant to change your mind! I do it so that others who are able to think clearly and logically who have working brains will know that THEY ARE NOT ALONE!
Hahaha. Weapons of mass destruction? As I said before, most Libtards have no clue about guns or gun safety.... Yes, let's ban all the weapons of mass destruction before someone nukes a crowd of people in a no weapons of mass destruction zone. All you Libtards know is the narrative of what you are told, but among other things, the real reason governments want to disarm their population is that they are probably going to do **** things they usually wouldn't, if the people are armed.supraTruth » 02 Jun 2022, 4:54 pm » wrote: ↑ REGARDLESS OF WHAT HIS BELIEFS ARE, U **** RNC DUMBASSES ARE THE ONLY 1s ENSURING THAT IDIOT SCUM LIKE HIM CAN GET WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
