Hey, I had a good laugh @ the 2010 models! I think Bill P. once mentioned seeing a pink one @ a show (SABC?) some years back. Wonder if he was ever able to run it down to find out what the deal was...

Absolutely a great post Blackmantis!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

There was a display at the SABC banquet one year of a pink "Mary Kay" M9 bayonet with an accompanying tongue-in-cheek write up. For those of you not familiar with Mary Kay, it is a women's cosmetics company that has door to door salespeople. Some of the salespeople drive bright pink cadillacs.

I have a photo of it somewhere. If I can dig it up I'll post a copy.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it :grin: I was a bit worried initially that the "My Daughters M9 sells well in Alaska, Texas" etc might offend some.

I was trying to come up with unique colour combinations that Lan-Cay have not yet produced. Out of average colours, they haven't produced a green, or red model (unless you count the blaze orange model). Red one would probably make a great "My Sons first M9".

Still, who knows what awesome combinations Lan-Cay may come up with in the future? I find the alternate colours quite attractive, and I have sought out to collect them all. So far I have Blue and Orange, with White, OD, Black and an extra orange and blue one (for practical use such as on my boat, maybe I can hunt crocs or enormous aussie sharks with the orange one?).

We heard from Barry Brown at Lan-Cay. He was very clear that Lan-Cay has never considered any of these colors.

Since th eBarbie pink is popular on hand guns i would expect someone to make a M16 look alike in pink for the ladies, and then the M9 in pink would make perfect sense. The SAS used pink land rovers for years, maybe another possible purchaser?

They were meant to be a joke, not to be taken seriously, I should have put that up under the picture, my bad.

For me, it was clear from the beginning that it was a joke.
Anyway, good idea to put a "disclaimer" in the original post, so nobody will be searching the web for these "strange" M9s.
@ Mister Moon: I saw in your website, that those scabbards are from a Buck 184.
