I bought one of Russ' Webley WG and ended up drilling the barrel out to look more realistic.
I use ear plugs because my wife snores. I bought this pack of purple & orange mix.
I was holding my gun the other day and realized the ear plugs on my night stand looked pretty close to the orange they use to tip the gun barrels. This brand of plugs is a very BRIGHT fluorescent color, more so than others.
I stuck it in and it fits pretty snug when the foam plug expands to fit. Now I have an awesome way to temporarily plug my gun when needed.

Yeah you probably didn't look like too much of a threat while carrying that much lipstick around.
I've been using earplugs to put orange tips on my replicas so I can sell them on Ebay for years. They've gotten wise to it lately though and keep taking my auctions down because they see the earplug. Part of the reason I stopped selling finished replicas.

Exactly. Come on over to Nevada. They don't care if you walk down the street with a ninja sword and an AR-15 strapped to your back as long as it's visible. But you can't have a 3.5" knife in your pocket.
I was just in Big 5 dropping off a holster to a client who works there and the guy in front of me in line was wearing 2 pearl handled 1911s on his belt. He looked to be about 70 years old. I gave him my card.
