Anyone seen "Face Off" that John Woo movie? Anyway, I need to know where to get the grips for Castor Troy's .45s... they're black, and they have a gold dragon on them.

Remember Castor Troy's gold plated .45s? The 'grip' is the part you 'grip', hence hte black 'handle' part of the gun with the gold dragon. I need to find a set.

Or else I have to make a set.

The closest thing I could find that does custom inlays:

Custom Inlay had some good-lookin' grips.

Some other place

This is pretty much tough as nails. How 'bout...


On the other hand, how tough could a gun be with...

Grips = The Handles to the guns he had. I vaguely remember them. Very cool looking though.

Maybe you could just get some nice ebony handles, then mail them to Demonhood and have him engrave some *Trogdor* action on the grips. There'd be your dragon.

You like guns cash? I thought you were anti-gun.

When I went paintballing, the very first game, I got shot right in the goggles. I COULD NOT get those things clean for the rest of the day, and I ran around in this fog of war. It was fun though.

I'd say there's a really good chance those were custom made. A lot of gunsmithing is done for movies. The blanks are custom made and mods are made to semi-auto weapons in order to make them full auto (this is tightly controlled of course). So it wouldn't surprise me if a gunsmith who does a lot of movie work crafted these up.

I know what you're saying. If I got shot in the goggles I'd be more worried about them working or not, than whether they're clean.

No way. Guns are great. ANd guns are horrible. What's even more horrible are the liberal freaky deakies around here who think that guns are inherently evil. They're not. People need to quit blaming objects and blame PEOPLE. If someone shoots someone because they're pissed, its the GUYS fault, not the guns. Guns lower crime rates, reduce deer/car accidents, protect our homes, and are pretty fun to use. I'm guessing you disagree, and I'll just say that if I lived near you I'd take you to a firing range. They're pretty fun if used responsibly.

Don't worry. All of them can withstand AMAZING hits. There's no way a paintball is going to break any of 'todays' goggles. They have impact resistance ratings and all that jazz before they're even sold, so rest assured your eyeballs are really safe when you have your goggles on. The problem is when people take them OFF on a paintball field... you can lose an eye.
