All my stuff is ugly but it works. That is a good topic to discuss though.

You’re fuglin ugly, that would also be a good topic to discuss

Does "bbq gun" mean an open carry gun?

If you open carry daily, like one would have done in the late 1800's, when you went to a BBQ, you would dress up,and carry your fancy gun in a fancy holster.

I have to admit I really like the looks of that Gold Cup! But I go old-school with the revolver. Besides, you need a good matching knife to slice that pig!

Thank you. That is one of the cheapest handguns I own. But it is a product of the "Bubba Network."
I bought a used Ruger "Liberty Gun" around 1980 from a local gun shop for $125.
Then traded photography service to a gunsmith for the birds-head grip frame. He was modifying factory stainless frames a few years before they were being turned out by everyone.
Then traded photography service to an engraver for her to do my gun.
I traded a load of walnut to a grip maker who did the sambar stag grips. (The walnut came off of my land. In the deal I also got walnut grips for my S&W Mod.19, a set of elephant ivory grips for my 1911. It was a big tree!)
The grip maker also had enough stag left over for the scales for the knife. Geno Denning out of SC made the knife. (Yep, more photography work.)
I added the Bisley hammer and did the leather work.
It took about three years to get together, but the process was fun. The nice part is I used that gun just about every day. It is the one I carry around my property when I take a walk. The second photo shows why I feel the need to walk well armed. (That sucker was sitting in my driveway!)
It also shows that I never let a good prop go to waste.
