Was browsing the forum today and found this hilarious thread
Not wanting to hijack that thread, it reminded me of the time I saw a particularly $hitti Erma Werke EP25 at my local shop. Ugly zinc 25 ACP west German pocket gun from the 60s. I knew it would get some laughs out of my circle of friends so I bought it for a whopping 100 dollars.
During our outings I'd whip this thing out at opportune times to get a laugh out of the guys. Use it to put down clays that got away...put down spiders in the grass... take long range shots at the gong, stuff like that.
As time went on I really enjoyed that little bugger. Not a serious use kinda pistol but it was a source of a lot of fun. Liked it more than I thought I would. Ended up selling it some time later to upgrade to a more serious pocket gun.
I keep thinking about that time and seeing some of the abominations in the aforementioned thread...
I'm tempted to do it again. Perhaps with some flavor of hi point. Put an obnoxious muzzle device on it. Cringy paint job perhaps. Bring it to pistol shoots to get reactions out of people.
Lets hear your stories and see your guns that fit in this category
Make an ugly gun uglier
We can safely say many will not argue that Hi-Point is an ugly gun. So how do you make an ugly gun uglier? I don't know what Hi-Point was thinking.
