Oh I love Glocks. Have two of them and they're great shooters. But they're UGLY guns. All the gold plating and engraving on the plastic just makes me gag. Looks like a pimp gun or something.

The engraving on the plastic frame is just as impressive. This one is as ‘over the top’ as they get.

I and others have tried to locate the engravers marking, but none has been found. There has to be some story behind this one, but for now you can create your own.

Very hard to argue with the first two quotes.

I'm betting there's a very good reason there's no engraver's mark.

I have to say that technicaly it seems pretty well done. The question, of course, is why it was done.

Pimp or "gangsta".

Whoever did the work is obviously a technically capable engraver but there is no way I'd have signed that either. If I had a dollar for every person who's asked me to engrave and AR15 or Glock, I'd be rolling in the dough! This one is almost as good as the "Hit man's gun" that was posted a while back.

Well, if it put bread on someone's table...plus the type of people who want this kind of thing aren't probably the type you'd want to say no to
