And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Etch, not engrave. Different process. Etching involves a resist and acids. Engraving is removing metal via hand tools. I had the pleasure of knowing a master who had done the engraving process to his father in law's Texas Ranger's revolver. Amazing.
It's also the most unreliable handgun I have ever seen (our shop used to sell these - half of them would not fire straight out of the box.) Carrying one of these for self protection is a joke.
drail, I must take exception. I live in Granbury where Bond Arms is located, so I get to see quite a few of them in the local shops. These tiny little weapons are incredibly well designed & made, and although they are much simpler in operation than full sized weapons, they are definitely inheritance-level firearms, ie your grandkids will be enjoying them long after you are gone. I can't speak to the etch/engrave part, but the base weapons are baddass!
That's a lot of $$$ in engraving costs on a gun that isn't worth much new. Kind of a lipstick on a pig proposition.
ReplyDeletestill neat looking though.

That blade and the trigger finger area look mighty close...
ReplyDeleteThat was done with a computer and an electro discharge machining setup - it's not hand engraved.
