This gun was released last year, but I came across Iver Johnson’s Eagle LR Zombie pistol only today.
In the name of mercy, who would do that to a sweet innocent 1911? John Moses Browning must have been spinning in his grave at the launch announcement! Guns & Ammo magazine thought it was a proficient pistol when they reviewed it . . . but I just can’t bear the thought of that thing coming within a good country mile of my gun safe.
Yuck!

What? You mean you dislike a firearm with the images of all your favorite zombie's? Pelosi, Michelle, Barack, Feinstein, Boehner, McCain and Oprah??
One thing is for sure, you would never overlook it anywhere. Except maybe a cave.
Nothing that a paint job and a new set of grips can't fix.
Just imagine that you have to use that pistol in a self-defense shooting. Come a subsequent Grand Jury or a civil suit from the scumbag or his next-of-kin, do you really want to be judged by the jury that was just shown THAT?
It's all fun and games until it gets real.
Good Lord, how could they do that? Put a rail on a 1911, I mean.
When they start selling zombie-themed firearms and live ammo (Hornady's ZombieMax**), the genre has well and truly jumped the shark.
With all apologies to Saint Browning, peace be upon him: Kill that abomination with fire.
And yeah, "Murphy's Law" above had it right: Can you imagine that thing, or one of the skull-camo'd offerings from Weatherby or Mossberg, being presented to your grand jury? Especially if you had some Z-Max ammo to go with it? Yikes.
(Captcha code: "Cipseon Occupation." Sounds like the title to a Robert Ludlum novel doesn't it?)

Wow! how many batteries does it take to operate that paintjob? And where are they hidden?
Give it to me! There's nothing wrong with it that a new set of grips and bead blasting can't fix.
