So what is the closest handgun you have to a BBQ piece? Thad Rybka holsters!!
I certainly don't have anything fancy enough to qualify as a BBQ gun but I do have something that I like a whole lot and is pretty fancy by my standards!!
A blue Ruger Single Six convertible 4 5/8s barrel in a Thad Rybka custom holster with faux ivory grips.
In my opinion it is the Rybka holster that makes this rig special. Thad Rybka holsters are so perfectly made they qualify as works of art. I wish I had learned of him a couple of years earlier. I have two Rybka holsters. I ordered two more and he sent me a letter saying he wasn't taking any more orders so I assume he retired.
At least I got the two I got!!

A Springfield 1911 with custom grips the guys in the shop machined for me for Christmas a number of years ago. Aluminum grips with the company logo.
Not true bling, but it has a lot of meaning.

Would a nickel 1903 with mother of pearl grips in 32 ACP count as a BBQ gun?

Even though that front sight makes it easier to see, plastic has no place on a BBQ gun. Why not an Ivory dot in keeping with the grips? Or a nice shiny silver dot?

Before I reduced the size of my collection I always thought the Smith and Wesson 544 I had would work as a BBQ gun. Everything I have now are shooters with character dings.

I briefly owned a 3 screw .44 Mag Super Blackhawk with beautiful stag grips and had a really nice leather shoulder rig with bullet loops.

I have a 544, and would consider that a good bbq gun, as well as my 4" model 24.

I guess my Colt Python with 2.5 inch barrel and officer grips. I think that is what they are called.
From the early 70's and just like it came from factory. A gift from a former client and to beat it all my wife had him round up
one with a 4 inch barrel to go with it.

My brace of nickel Stallion .38 cap pistols with a hideout derringer.

If pristeen and in the original packaging they just might be worth serious bucks!! Isn't a BBQ piece almost by definition a piece worth serious bucks?? So I'm guessing they would qualify as a BBQ piece.
Obviously I'm joking. Kind of. I'll bet you would get a whole lot of people wanting to look at them if for no other reason than a trip down memory lane.

There is a pretty good market for cap pistols. I sold a pair of Hopalong Cassidy pistols for $410. The Stallions are not pristine, I shot many a bad guy with them back in the 50's. I still have lots of my old toys from that era, including some Smith-Miller trucks. I should sell them to collectors before I go, Otherwise they would get tossed when I'm gone. Thank you for the interesting reply!!! Eddie

Not so sure it's only the cost, but the amount of pimpness it has.
