    It's okay, but anyone with money could buy that.

    I'd try to get something more limited, like this bad boy:

      Coming soon, to an EE near you, off-roster WC Super Grade. Stay tuned to the OP's threads.

        As a great sign that mommy and daddy love you.

          It's on my bucket list. Dad probably cant afford it though. I may have to buy another CQB then have it sent back for the BBQ SG treatment.

                Only if you don't mind a big TEXAS carved into the slide.

                You sure you wouldn't rather have a Rolex?

                  I rate that a very special gift. Honestly I just don't know if I'd shoot it. Now the EDC X9 different story, and obviously different platform. Either way I would cherish a gift like that from my folks.

                    If it wasn't for the great state of Texas, you probably wouldn't even be able to say the word 'gun' in CA, much less own one.

                          Well I don't think I'd kick any Wilson Supergrade out of bed for being BBQ...but their BBQ gun would be my absolute last choice of all the guns in their stable. I can appreciate the talent that goes into engraving but most engraving just isn't my taste. And I do love me the beauty of a completely blank slide. YMMV.

                              So... a firearm like that I would feel like I’m hurting it’s feelings not taking it out.

                              Just took it out with some friends that essentially have never shot before. They rented Glocks and I helped them with the four rules, aiming, etc. I offered for them to shoot mine instead of their. They liked the Wilson but didn’t really love it. For me it was amazing. I’ll do a full write up if anyone can recommend what to write (I’ve never written up a handgun).

                              I totally get that some do not like the engraving but I have a couple of pistols that are plain - I don’t need another plain one - and I’d like one that says “wow.” I think it’s gorgeous.

                              When I used proper technique I could reliably get one ragged hole between 5-10 yards. I think I’m reasonably good - definitely not great, but definitely not bad.

                              The gun was a JOY to shoot.

                              The magwell ... I never want a gun without a magwell now! I just put the magazine somewhere near it and it sucks it right up!

                              And in terms of keeping it pretty ... I think Mr Wilson would cry if I only took it out for special occasions. I plan to shoot the heck out of it!

                              I may get a chance to go out Sunday... Probably Oaktree. If anyone wants to take it for a spin PM me!
