That is a crazy mark up. 10.5 grams of 18K gold is worth about $460.00. Those guys want 2 grand for it.

Now a 18K gold gadget, I might be down for...

It is probably easier to monetize than gold fillings in your mouth.

I’m supremely disappointed that this thread isn’t about you buying a sweet 1979 Ford Ranchero.

True story (no, for real…) I was once in a vegas pawn shop at night, and there was a very strung out lady wanting to hock her gold fillings. This went on a while, before the proprietor got rid of her and I had a chance to ask him if that was a common occurrence.

“Oh Yeah. Weekly… the serious ones bring their own pliers in and try to hand them to me…”

Back on topic:

and plastic Glock sights.

It’s like putting gold rims on your Camry.

Compared to jewelry, which this slide cover plate is, the markup is not too bad. The really bad news is 18K gold is soft enough that dry firing the pistol will dent the plate and impact the reliability. Of course, using the pistol, let alone dry firing, is the last thing a buyer of this product would consider.

Waiting for TDG to release the gadget in 18K gold.

After being involved in a self defense shooting.....

Officer:
I'll have to take your gun for evidence.

Gun owner:
Hold on while I remove the 18k gold slide back plate I stupidly purchased ( and paid too much for) for my carry gun. Doh!

I can see this going over pretty well with some Chicago gangs too.

Was thinking the same thing. I was like "I hope there's a steel backing plate on it."
