"Mine tastes like purple"

(for you younger folks, it is a reference to a Dannon(?) Yogurt commercial from the early 80s.)

I am unable to imagine any humor which would cause me to perpetrate such a thing.

I no longer want my autographed cudgel.

Pervert.

That is SO wrong!! Nice detailing though.

Maybe a different color? ....

It may taste like Purple, but it smells like Cerise, and looks like Grape Frost.

Obscure, yes ?

Maybe red, maybe vermillion. PURPLE??? Nah.

It's really a deep burgundy, same as the background. But the image came out red. I tried adjusting the hue and saturation but I'm not experienced with that level of photoshop. (gimp).

It's the same shade as these.

My daughter and grand daughters would think that is the greatest! I will not be showing them this thread!

It is for my daughter. Traded a Kobra sight for this Mk II - needed refinishing anyway.

Eventually I'll get a .22 upper for a Glock, but need another frame. She went "practicing" with her Glock. Burned through 500 rounds in an afternoon. I can't afford it anymore. Gotta get her plinking with cheaper ammo.

Color is subjective ( eye of the beholder ) although well executed ( grip screws also ) . The only thing about these pistols is the magazine retention , I have a hard time manipulating them , wondering if there was / is an aftermarket mechanisim . My daughter loves shooting the on I have .

Looks like "you done good" GP! As a gunsmith and a parent!

The Mk III and the MkII/45 both use American (non European) style mag catches. But I don't like the feel of the Mk II/45. I really like the luger type grip for target shooting. The other may be better for combat shooting, but at that point I should just get the (Advantage Arms?) .22 Upper for the Glock.

I see these (have 3 now, two like this and one of the slab-side target models) as small game hunting and teaching sight alignment, sight picture, and trigger control, before moving onto regular defensive pistol shooting.

The Hi-Power is gorgeous. Glocks can't be gorgeous no matter WHAT color they are.
