Heck of a way to tease a person.

Some machines, pistols included, are so well thought out, designed, and executed that they qualify as art.

We have regular discussions about plastic pistols here and have great fun poking each other. We discuss the merits of custom or semi-custom 1911s. But I've never seen a plastic pistol or any off the shelf weapon that qualifies as functional art.

Your pistols do. They are absolutely beautiful, and even better, I'm sure they shoot better than you do.

Beauty and function - almost like a woman. Congrats on some nice weapons!

Oh, and sorry for waxing philosophical

Tom

Tom, I do agree. There is a blend of design and extraordinary skill involved in the art of these firearms.

My grandfather was a machinist from Sweden, and I think I got some of my appreciation for this kind of work from him...
