I do get made fun of occasionally, but I just tell them that I want to see a bad guy laugh after that 93gr HP pops them in the forehead.Always wondered about the pinks and purples avail. with polymer. Read a story about a guy who saved his bacon with one when a scofflaw accused him of threatening with a gun. Since an officer was present, he asked the officer to have the guy describe his gun. "Oh yeah, man,.....black, all black". When he had the officer pull back his jacket it revealed a purple polymer auto. ....case closed.
