It's not the color of the gun...
 

...it's the caliber of the shooter:

Pat

Don't laugh too hard - the wife has a pink one, a rasberry one, and a black one with pink grips. :p

Why does this not surprise me? :D You do know there's a pink camo Remington 870 that would fit perfectly into that collection, right?

Seriously, though, who decided that all women are represented by the color pink? I want to hurt that person.

Good on Meghan for being prepared. I found it strange they pointed out the gun's color. Doesn't seem relevant.

Gun color doesn't matter so long as one can shoot it. Looks like she knew what to do. :D

I look at it as getting one last dig in on the deceased scum bag. It's like pouring salt into the wound. Or in this case, pissing on the corpse of the bad guy. "That's right, tough guy. You got your ass smoked by a little girl with a PINK gun!" Not only does that mandate his worthless, cowardly soul goes to hell. It automatically makes him somebody's b*tch for eternity. :D

Why?

I think it was one of the ancient QP sages(TR??) that said "color and camo pattern is of no use after 100 yds" or words to that affect..

It's the eyes and fingers behind the trigger that count...

3 weeks after my grandaughter was born, my son bought her a pink Cricket in .22LR.

Nice...I have a couple of .22s...always fun to shoot and the ammo is inexpensive...or were you talking about the "Noisy Cricket?"

Aw, Dusty, my issues with pink are deep-seated. Have never been to a therapist to have them analyzed. :D

Went to a sporting goods store here in Texas last fall to purchase a shotgun. Wasn't sure if I wanted a 12 or a 20, but I knew I wanted the plain black Rem 870 pump. That's what I told the clerk, yet he unlocked the case and immediately went for the pink camo 20ga. I told him if he brought that gun to me I'd burn the place down.

What is it about Bubba gun store clerks when a female walks in? I had consulted with a couple of QPs, had a game plan, and although not an experienced shooter, I knew what I needed. But no....the clerk starts mocking my plan, tells me that all Army guys are sumbitches and he's been "shooting on his ranch since he was a little grasshopper", and I needed this here Taurus .410!! :rolleyes: When this story was relayed to the QP, he wanted to fly to Texas and burn the store down.

But I digress....

The pink stuff feels like an awkward marketing gimmick. "A female comes in, sell her the pink stuff." I understand there's a huge market developing out there for women shooters, and think it's cool that some manufacturers want to create women-specific products, but to date, many of the pink products aren't customized for a smaller body, smaller hands, smaller head, whatever. They're just pink. Besides, I'm 5'8", not petite, and don't have small hands. I like the plain black guy stuff just fine. Ok, maybe a little diamond-encrusted bling bling, but not pink!

JJ- or in the dark with a home invader! But good on Meghan, she got the job done.

Orion, you sound like my daughter. :D

Pink was mentioned to drive home the fact that a sweet young lady canked the scum bag. :munchin

Then Bubba says "Well.....little lady.... I've got just the thing for you!". The CIA/FBI/DEA/1SFOD/DEVGRU/SF/SEAL/MARSOC guys all give their wives these.

Plus, you could always upgrade with the tactical accessory kit.:D

Good for Megan,not so good for the ex-con(;))..............:boohoo

Big Teddy :munchin

It's good to know that I'm not the only member of this BB who isn't bitter.:cool:
