I'm thinking green with black stripes. I won't say here which way they will run. LOL Or Pink with something else. I don't care, the only ones that will see it is me and BadGuy I have to defend myself against. You laugh, but give me 30 days. LOL

re-edit....Better Keith?

well I was thinking of putting a purple or blue stripe on my gun anyway--now I have a good reason to it. Kind of sucks though because even if he did nothing wrong (likely) this nutty lady is likely going to cast him a fortune.

if it was for the purpose of preventing some one from describing your gun, you had better make it solid purple / pink / green what ever color you choose, if your gun is black with a purple stripe, and they say they saw a black gun, you run the risk of a jury thinking its possible that in the heat of the moment the stripe was not noticed

It won't matter what color it is if you are openly carrying. They will be able to see what color your gun is.

That's why you color everything the holster hides in the most garish color you can find.

I have not asked Gerry, but will, I know for a fact everything he carries is Stainless so if she says black, she's full of it.
