Pretty to look at, but I like to shoot them, not stare at them.
Well, I do both (stare, drool and shoot) but to me an engraved gun is kinda like looking at a woman with a lot of tattoos.
Now I know lots of guys here think ink on a woman is sexy...but I'm not one of them.
Kinda like the engraved revolvers - they just don't do anything for me.
