Even those who do not own a Glock have to appreciate this fine craftsmanship:

I met this guy at a gun show in Spokane. I think it was Lone Wolf Distributors? He also had a ported Glock that had flames down the slide and barrel. I'll look around for the brochure if anyone wants more info.

I got that in an email too. I'd guess it's a fotoshop since the bottom letters creep into the crown on the barrel. That wouldn make sense for a real engraving.

I wonered about that same thing and if anyone else would catch that. I'm not an engraver, but wondered about electonicaly done. Looks more like photoshop.

Doubt that the engraving is offered or doubt that the one in the picture is the real deal?

I have seen a glock barrel with the same thing engraved on the muzzle in person.

Personally, I think this modification would cause nightmares if the gun were to ever be used in a self defense situation.

Not functional?
Isn't the crown is there to simply protect the lands & grooves from being readily molested? What functional defect would a laser engraving like the one in the photo cause?

I should clarify, "I met this guy ( the engraver) at a gun show in Spokane." I held this gun (or a copy), two that were flamed, one that extensive spider webbing, and some weird pink digital camo one. His work can be seen on his website.
