Ummm, NO. Not tactical, maybe tactiCool, if you value that concept over battle perfection, I don’t.
Take that slide and coat it dark and flat, and then you might be Tactical.
As a 25-year retired cop, I was lucky to not have to win any gunfights, but my advice is to restrain Flashy to what happens when you switch on your flashlight.

One question and one reply:
Why is the M&P always called Kool-Aid?
Mr. Rivrdog: The “tactical” Glock 34 in the article is a competition gun, not a carry gun.

A while back a lot of gun bloggers started buying them all within a short span. Replacing glocks, 1911s, and sigs. Since then, I’ve referred to the conversion as Kool aid

My aversion to tooling the tools goes back to my first exposure to a cased set of Renaissance Brownings when I was a wee apprentice gunnie in my early 20’s. “They
‘re beautiful!” says I…”How do they shoot?” Horrified, the owner says “Shoot them? Oh, no you would never shoot them, it would destroy the value of the art!” To which I responded with stunned silence and confusion.
Art or gun. Either or. Not both, not when the former precludes the latter.
A few weeks ago a young guy sold me a S&W 649. He was in the business of gold plating details on cars, but that trend has about run its course, and he needed the money. Unfortunately he figured it would be great advertising to perform his “art” on that innocent Smith, and add a set of ugly pearloid grips to boot. I told him I hoped the advertising had made him some money because his “art” had taken about two hundred off the value of that gun. He grudgingly took the 250 but was not happy that his customization (like most customization) had cost him rather than profited him.

Some of the engraved SAAs are very nice. The engraved Berettas look like seizures from Mexican cartels, and the Glock is an abomination. (How did they engrave the frame? With a soldering iron?)
I once met a vice cop who carried an engraved SP101 undercover. He said, “Ain’t it a pimpy-lookin’ thing?” It was.
