A lot people are talking about how pretty or ugly certain guns are, lets put it to a test. I want to see pis of your best looking semi auto or the best looking semi auto you have ever seen (you don't have to own it, I don't care). This will be judged (by me) and I will declare a winner. BTW, don't bother posting a pic of a Glock.:neener:

My prettiest semi-automatic pistol is a High Standard Victor with gold-plated barrel and assorted fittings, plus Herrett's stocks in coco bolo. Sad to say, this is also the least reliable semi-automatic I own.

Doesn't someone have a CZ97 to show off? For my money, that's about the most beautifully proportioned semi out there.
(well, I guess not really 'for my money', since I don't have one. yet.)

GrandmasterB,
That BHP is NICE! I think you are the front running right now. As this is subjective, I'm sure to offfend some people by leaving them out so I'll say that they are are great looking guns so far, with one exception (Glock:D ).

Previously, I thought Byron's stainless Springfield was about the purtiest semi I had seen, but the Kahr stainless Micro might have it beat.

This is a classic old American beauty:
Savage 10-shot .32 autopistol model 1907. This one is from 1909, and still works perfectly.

Since the rules say we don't have to own it, I'll post this one.
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but there's just something about this finish that appeals to me.

Thanks for the comments on my Hi Power! The grips are Craig Spegel's cocobolo.
Jim Garthwaite did the work on it. If anyone is interested in knowing more, there is a brief write up on it at this link: http://www.hunting-pictures.com/members/GrandmasterB/mybhp.html

The BHP is awsome. What grips are on your BHP. I really, really like them.

Newbie, circa 1968. I hadn't seen one of these in twenty years, but one followed me home from a gun shop earlier this week. It's a Browning Medalist .22 caliber, complete with Schnäbel forend and one-piece stock, which is tricky to remove and even trickier to put back on.
If it'd been warmer today, I'd have found out how well it shoots.

That BHP of your's is just beautiful. :cool: Very nice pistol, you should be proud of that show piece.
There were a lot of nice guns but I had to make a choice. Thanks to everyone who participated.
