Let’s see what the Staff had to say about this week’s offering:

“For the thin slice of venn diagram that contains fudds who subscribe to Disney+” – Rusty S.

“Sure wish I could take my helmet off to vomit” – Matt M.

“The most expensive way to get a Disney Cease and Desist letter sent next day air to your house” – Benjamin F.

“Almost as cringe as a Deadpool gun. Almost.” – Hop

HOT GAT or FUDD CRAP? Mandalor or Pure Fuddlore?

First off, I do think it’s funny that this gun has not been test-fired and should be evaluated “by a competent gunsmith before firing”.  Maybe they wanted the gun to remain as mint as possible, or maybe someone just doesn’t want to be seen shooting this 1911.  Personally, I would choose the latter.  

HOT GAT or FUDD CRAP? Mandalor or Pure Fuddlore?

HGFC is certainly no stranger to themed guns, but this particular model 1911 was a strange choice. I guess I just wasn’t expecting features like Picatinny rail or an ambi safety to be present on this gun. So as Rock Island 1911’s go, at least this one is a little more upscale.

I’ll never fully understand why themed guns are so popular. I certainly enjoyed both seasons of the Mandalorian, but I wouldn’t ever think to Cerakote a gun because of it. Who knows, maybe this is in fact the way, but I’m not counting on it for $1,599. However, and like always I leave it up to you, the reader, to decide.
