HOT GAT or FUDD CRAP? Sunflower Smokeshow or God No?

This series started when Gaston was still with us.  Now sadly, that’s no longer the case.  I wish I could blame this or any one of the various Glock monstrosities for that, but now I’m forced to wonder if he will ever rest in piece. There are various sub-arguments to everything that’s going on here so let’s start with the basics.  No one can agree on anything Glock, but what they can agree on is that changing out the factory plastic sights is never a bad idea.  Modifications past that are at your discretion and are often arguably invalid.

HOT GAT or FUDD CRAP? Sunflower Smokeshow or God No?

So if you buy a compensated Glock 19C and spend a bunch of money getting it painted and engraved while leaving the factory sights in place, don’t blame me or anyone else when you see a few eye rolls.  It’s been years since this series started and I still am just as confused by guns like this. It always feels like an art project that got abandoned because someone’s wife was made aware of the cost.  I mean, does anyone really carry guns like this?  I guess we’ll never know, but there is something we can learn from this series.

So is this sunflower emblazened Glock 19 a bargain at $799 Buy It Now or are you better off pretending this doesn’t exist and therefore can’t hurt you?  As always I leave it up to you, the reader, to decide.
