Today the term “BBQ Gun” floats around for those who utilize a nice or customized handgun for some sort of open carry, be they a small-town sheriff ala Longmire style or just someone who likes to exercise their 2A rights with a little flair.
The Nighthawk Custom Hi-Power is a good example of a BBQ gun…functional by all means, but something you would want to show off a bit if you carry it
In the old days, this was simply just done with swords.
Smallsword, plaques by Wedgwood (British, founded 1759), about 1790. steel, faceted, burnished, blued and gilded, iron, and stoneware (Jasperware). The John Woodman Higgins Armory Collection, Worcester Art Museum 2014.49.
As noted about the above beautiful blade by the WAM:
Stylish men wore swords as part of their daily wear from the 1500s until the 1700s. This superb smallsword was made shortly before civilian swords went permanently out of fashion. Its light, edgeless blade is designed for civilian dueling, but the real purpose of this weapon was to impress rather than kill. The cut-steel beadwork on the hilt imitates the look of diamonds, and the jasperware Wedgwood plaques feature neoclassical designs inspired by Roman and Etruscan archeological finds.
