    Etching a Glock, What design would you use?

    So, I'm scheduled to take a class on laser etching/engraving, and I think I'm going to etch my glock slide. Some would say a glock couldn't get any uglier so why not.

    It is the first handgun I ever purchased and I doubt I'll ever sell it so resale is not a concern. I have seen flames like below, but am thinking of something different, and as classy as possible... Celtic Knot patterns are all i can think of..



    If you had access to a laser engraving machine, and were so inclined, what would you do to trick out a glock slide a bit?

    I'd go for something more contemporary. Like this:





    Just kidding of course. That actually looks pretty cool, if you come up with a good design. Not sure I'd want to remove the tennifer though.

        Your problem is using the word "classy" in context with a Glock pistol.

        Relax, just kidding...

        But how can you Glock guys improve on perfection anyways?

          ah I could etch a little Colt Pony on there for some irony...

              Put the recycle triangle on it.
              With all this "gun control" talk, I've not heard one politician say how they plan on taking guns from criminals, just law abiding Citizens.

                  I don't know how a serious answer will fly, but I'm thinking maybe something like this veritas aequitas ambigram, with some type of celtic band before and after..

                    If he is going to have a Latin phrase he should use stercus amet.

                      I think Atni-Hero might suggest Stercus Accidit.

                      I was going with the Boondock Saints theme with the Truth and Justice angle....

                          I'd go damascus on it.

                          Or you could do something like this:


                          (up for auction here)

                          But seriously, post the result, because like others I have a hard time reconciling "classy" with an etched Glock (or most modern day pistols, for that matter). Even Gaston Glock's example above just looks gaudy to me.
