[underpants]

You won't belief this thing until you see it.

America Remembers is pleased to announce the issuance of the Elvis Presley® Taking Care of Business™ Tribute Revolver, which celebrates the life of the King of Rock & Roll®, one of America’s most legendary icons. This exclusive Tribute is the fourth commemorative firearm America Remembers has created to honor the legend of Elvis Presley, and we are proud to offer it on one of the most powerful firearms ever used in American law-enforcement: the Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolver.

Craftsmen commissioned specifically for this project by America Remembers decorate each working Smith & Wesson revolver in sparkling 24-karat gold and nickel artwork, a perfect canvas to capture the likeness of this remarkable musical legend. Prominently featured on each Tribute is the special “TCB”® logo Elvis shared with his closest friends and associates. With a lightning bolt striking from the bottom, the logo translates to “Taking Care of Business in a Flash,” an idea that encapsulates both the charisma and character of this magnetic entertainer.

Whether serving his country overseas, playing on-stage, or performing on-screen, Elvis touched the lives of countless adoring fans and today remains one of the most popular figures world-wide. During his career and throughout his life, Elvis collected firearms and loved to shoot. In particular, he had a strong admiration of law enforcement officers and the firearms that they carried, including the Smith & Wesson revolver. For those who appreciate firearms, and also admire Elvis Presley, the Elvis Presley® Taking Care of Business™ Tribute Revolver will be the centerpiece of any collection. In an edition of only 500 revolvers and available only from America Remembers for $2,195.00, this Tribute is sure to bring back fond memories of this legendary soldier and entertainer, while preserving his legacy for generations to come.

1. It's actually quite stunning

but I can't imagine the $2195.00 price tag.

[Hugin]

4. What! No pearl grips?

Count me out... I'll wait for the Gen. George S. Patton GTH(tm) model to be released.

:eyes:

[Hugin]

2. Ooooo! Aaaaah!

I needs me one.

[RedStateShame]

3. Hey, that gun just looks like hundreds of blues musicians' handguns made before that!

[johnnie]

5. You know what's cool about it too?

In the bottom of the grip, you can open it up and stash up to 25 percocet. That rocks!

[SacredCow]

6. No, thanks....

Me and Senor Glock get along just fine....

[speedoo]

7. Ugh. What's next, the Buddy Holly AK 47?

This is one of those things that reminds me how stupid some Americans are.:puke:

9. Possession of that rifle in the United States would be a 10-year felony

unless you had explicit Federal authorization (BATFE Form 4) to own it. To get a Form 4, you have to undergo a six-month vetting process along the lines of getting a government security clearance. You can own a non-automatic rifle that looks like an AK-47, but actual automatic weapons are controlled under the strict Title 2/Class III provisions of the National Firearms Act.

I personally wouldn't drop $2200 on a revolver, but Presley was an avid shooter and gun owner, so the commemorative edition is appropriate, IMHO.

8. I've been looking for something to shoot my tv with!

10. You might want something smaller, but powerful:

Cal. .454 Casull

You do need strong arms, though. ;)

[ghostsofgiants]

13. That's nowhere near as badass looking.

[Call Me Wesley]

15. Fire it once.

That is a badass. Hugest caliber for a handgun - you might find yourself down on your knees after firing it. Cute, huh?

11. OMFG!!! Where's ForrestGump???

:rofl: He needs one of those!!!! :P

[Orsino]

12. It'll go so well with...

the TV set:

14. The earlier SUN Records version is cooler

YMMV
