As a not very intimidating looking grandmother, I want my guns to be a little "scary" to the BG. To me that means mostly black with a large caliber like 45 ACP. I do have a laser, however, I only use it for target practice. All that being said, if someone wants a pink gun, go for it. Just be aware that the guy who breaks into your home might not take it to seriously. This may be good. While he's laughing at your pretty pink gun, you have plenty of time to line up your shot.
