Now, I realize that firearms are tools, and all tools have their use, but tools CAN be asthetically pleasing also.

While looking through the weekly specials as Davidson's, I came across an SP-21, from Magnum Research. It just made me shudder.

[Dave Markowitz]

:barf:

Even Glocks aren't that oogly.

[gbelleh]

:barf: :what: I wasn't ready for that! :uhoh: :barf:

[Sactown]

Reminds me of the Liberty pistol for some reason.

[berettaman]

MY EYES:what: MY EYES:what:

[kentucky bucky]

Looks like a pregnant Astra!:what:

[Tamara]

(Runs off to look at Les Baer catalog...)

*Whew!* There, that's better... ;)

[N3rday]

Wow, I think that gun could turn straight men gay!

[NevadaPistolero]

HUMMMMMMMMMM.......do they have that in pink :D

[BHPshooter]

:confused: I actually like the way that the SP-21 looks... just between me and the fly on the wall.

Wes :uhoh:

[extremefishin00]

BLECH! Are you sure that monster isn't the product of a Photoshop mishap?

[ARperson]

Maybe a longer barrel to help lessen the "hump" look in the rear.

Ewwww.

Upon looking at it again (why? I don't know), I'm wondering how you get a sight on the target. The rear sight (if it's there) appears to be so much higher than the front sight.

[wardog]

When I read the thread title, that gun immediately came to mind. That is by far the ugliest autoloader in quite some time.

[Moparmike]

:barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:

AR, did you have to make us look at it a second time?:cuss:

(fondling my Witness 10mm...)

Ah, thats better.

[WonderNine]

I'm really getting sick of ugly tactical plastic with barrels shorter than the grip.

[HogRider]

Yuck!!

:barf:

[Flashpoint]

IT'S NOT A TUMOR

[Nightcrawler]

Ah, that's that new Israeli pistol.

Uglier than the Glock 17 it's supposed to replace. At least the Glock is decently proportioned.

[azthistletoe]

I was actually, in all honestly, shocked when I opened that link. I imagined... well, not that. Just not that.

[Longbow]

I thought its one of them power drills from Sear's.
Maybe its made that way to scare the enemy. Hey, whatever works!:D
' makes me appreciate my Glock a little more!

[priv8ter]

Upon looking at it again (why? I don't know), I'm wondering how you get a sight on the target. The rear sight (if it's there) appears to be so much higher than the front sight.

It might be a setup like NAA put's on thier Guardian...the 'Gutter Snipe' they call it. The rear part of slide is spilt and that allows you to see the front sight.

But, that's just a guess.

Owwwwww....IT BURNS, IT BURNS.......
If you look at it three times, you will turn to salt

[Ky Larry]

Looks like the poster child for gun control.:what:

[Parker Dean]

IT'S NOT A TUMOR


Oh yes it is!

[TXBera]

a pistol that only THE designer could love.:eek:

[timmerk]

I like it - it reminds me of the Walther P99 look, but applied to a P38.

[tac17]

Good Lord, and I thought my Glocks were ugly.:what:

[emann]

Not the purtiest thing I must say.

[George Hill]

That is "to the BONE" ugly.
That's so Ugly, Hi-Point looks good.
That's the gun you leave at the back of the safe or bottom of the rangebag and only take out when no one is looking.
That's the kinda ugly that even Ugly calls ugly.

[BluesBear]

It'so Fugly:

you'd have to wipe it off with a Pork Chop to even get your dog to sniff it.

they don't even make Homeboy NightSights for it.

if you got one for your wife it would be grounds for divorce.

they won't even mention it on CSI Miami.

the only holster available for it is full flap WITH a zipper!

you have to duct tape the magazine in place so it can't EACAPE.

:neener:

[CZ52GUY]

...another photo...

You can see the channel and will also notice the ports.

Best wishes,

[denfoote]

It had to happen at some point in time.
I mean, the record could not, would not, remain unchallanged forever!!
Something finally out uglied the High Point!!!

The Mateba is wincing in pain!!
Glocks and Rugers are covering their children's sights!!
Even the Smegma breathes relief, knowing that he no longer is "the one"!!

[gvass]

hi,
the Barak pistol is ugly, no debate.
And it is absolutely without a good reason to exist.

It is nothing else, but a CZ-75 (or Jericho) in a futuristic polymer bag.
The firing mech is the very same, the main difference is its complicated twin-recoil spring unit. (Why did they design it???)

The only acceptable theory on the "slide-tumor", that it is easier to chamber a round.
Most Israelis are trained on HiPowers and their policy is NOT to carry them in condition one.
(Empty chamber)

http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=13577138

I have to say, at that price point in that caliber with that number of mag's.........my M3 light fits it..........I'd actually consider it.

...but I'm a leftover sensitive 90's kind of guy that welcomes stray puppies, picks the homely Christmas tree nobody else wanted...well, you get the idea.

Besides, in .45ACP I think I could really identify with it. Kind of chunky, not the most handsome of the bunch, but definitely lethal! :p

Best wishes,

CZ52'

[sjtalon]

Well I think you could bring this to the ugly contest as well:

Remember when the new Dodge pick-up came out ??

Keep Safe !

[MJRW]

It's ugly, but I bet it shoots great.

What's that song? "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life / Never make a pretty woman your wife / So from my personal point of view / Get an ugly girl to marry you."

Hopefully this applies here and anyone who owns that gun is in firearm bliss at the range.

[BevrFevr]

I don't like porting all that much in any gun but I'd date her.

-bevr

[stevelyn]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww:barf:

An SW-99 that's been place too close to nuclear waste.:what:

[Boondock Saint]

WHY WHY WHY!?!?
Why would anyone even DESIGN a gun like that let alone make, sell, or buy one!?
jesus, i would rather keep my AIRSOFT 1911 then own one of those...

[AJ Dual]

It's ugly. And that's coming from a guy who likes some pretty ugly guns like his Kel-Tec P32, and Sub-9 carbine.

If all gun-brands were kids in grade school, Hi-Point just perked up, because he's no longer the bottom of the pecking order.

Somehow the Barak (Isn't that a character on Space Ghost coast to coast?) reminds me of the Colt 2000 All-American, but still managing to look anything like it.:confused:

[Correia]

Apparently I'm the only person who has actually handled one of these. :)

It is just as hideous in real life as in the pictures. Also the trigger was nothing to write home about, the controls were awkward, and as you can see the rear sight is just a channel through the slide, even though it had dots. So if you wanted to change sights you were out of luck.

When I saw it at SHOT show 2 years ago I figured that they would only sell if they were extreamly cheap. I could see it working if it was very reliable and sold for under $300. But over that, no way.

[Dr.Rob]

Wow just when I thought it couldn't be uglier.. porting!

Why port a full sized 9mm?

[Black Snowman]

I don't really have an opinion on the looks, but I do have a concern about it. Why is the bore axis so freaking high?

[9055]

Whew!!

I thought you were going to show us a Colt All American for a minute. :D

[CZ52GUY]

...on a 9mm.

While to be sure, the original photo was a 9mm, the ported model from the Gunsandammo article could be a .40 S&W or .45 ACP...at least from what I can see...others may be more skillful in recognizing caliber from that angle.

I'm curious enough that I sent for some info', Magnum Research indicates I should receive next week.

I'll post any interesting tidbids I find if other posters haven't already exhausted the body of available knowledge.

Best wishes,

CZ52'

[Nightcrawler]

Wouldn't be quite so bad if they'd add an inch to the barrel. I also dislike the look of guns where the grip is longer than the slide.

[Okiecruffler]

If you guys keep posting these pictures, I'll have no choice but to post the one I have of my mother-in-law at the pool. And I warn you, gravity has not been kind.

[cordex]

That's so Ugly, Hi-Point looks good.
George,
Let's not say things we can't take back. :)

[Longbow]

Whoever designed it should be fired!

[boots]

like it. i'm not a man of bad taste, but this gun does not look all that bad to me. chrome plate the slide, add some kind of scope/reddot, and put an extended barrel in it, and hollywood would snatch it right up.

[Sunspot]

Hum, comes in .45. May not be so bad. Scare the BG's off.

[cidirkona]

What the hell is that huge lump in the back for anyways? ... I bet they used Dodge Omni coil springs for the firing pin....

-Colin

[George Hill]

"I like it."

[.45FMJoe]

Quasimoto the pistol. :barf:

[uabfan]

Had no idea that Magnum Research was in such a dire financial situation. Hopefully, there new line of hair driers will help them out.:what:

[Carlos Cabeza]

HEY........................I like it !!!!!!! J/K :D

Bevr, you're a sick, sick man !!!!!:D

[N3rday]

Holy wang that is ugly.

At least Glocks are smooth, that is a rigid ugly peice of wang

You wouldn't even have to point it at someone, you just hand it to them and they run like hell

[10-Ring]

I was taught not to say anything if I have nothing good to say....:scrutiny:

[cidirkona]

It's man-tastic.

-Colin

[Longbow]

It will make a good piece to desynthesize Gun addicts!
I'm having withdrawal now! I gotta look at my purty 1911. :(

[4v50 Gary]

Longbow is right - it looks like a Craftsman power drill.

That gun makes the Ruger P85 look like a corvette.

[Cliff47]

The rear sight looks like the Inglis No 2, but much worse. If it shoots accurately, who really cares. (Sorry, my eyes are still watering)

In the words of the Old Sage: Life is too short to shoot ugly guns.

Also: You can lead a horse to water, but if you can get him to float
on his back, you've got something.

[Brass]

I wonder if the pistol is made by HK or Sig will people actually buy it?

[Longbow]

I won't!

[Kamicosmos]

It has been a while since I was speechless at first sight of a handgun!


Gotta admit, this has been the most entertaining thread I've read in awhile!!

[Dave Markowitz]

Ya know, as foul as that gun is, it still doesn't hold a candle to THE ugliest (and worst) pistol of all time, the Japanese Type 94. To wit:

http://www.geocities.com/marshette/temp/dtype94.jpg

[BluesBear]

You have a point.

It's amazing that it was ever adopted.

How awful was whatever came in second place?

:barf:

[Standing Wolf]

It's a Glock that saw a plastic surgeon.

[7.62FullMetalJacket]

It's a Glock that saw a plastic surgeon.

..a really bad plastic surgeon...maybe Michael Jackson's?

[valnar]

I had to fondle all my Smith revolvers after that and tell them they're beautiful. :uhoh:

-Robert

[Nathaniel Firethorn]

Maybe a longer barrel to help lessen the "hump" look in the rear.Hump? What hump? ;)

- pdmoderator

[kentucky bucky]

At least you would'nt have to worry about anybody stealing it!!!!:barf:

[WvaBill]

You only need one Mag. Then you just ugly them to death:rolleyes:

[varoadking]

...actually want's one of these things, and has for the last 6 months. :banghead:

[MagKnightX]

I like it. It comes in .45? If it's accurate, it may succeed my P99 as my future carry gun.

[4thHorseman]

George Hill, that was funny!


To be perfectly honest, it is a conspiracy by Handgun Control crowd to stop people from buying guns. Since they can't control guns any other way, the new law they are trying to pass will make ALL handguns look like this. That way no one will want one.:D

Or... maybe it's like a Swiss Army Knife and has a fork and a spoon in it, maybe a tooth pick too!:D

[natedog]

I have a pug. (AKA the most useless thing on four legs.)

[4thHorseman]

natedog......I have to laugh. I think I first started to notice the pug dog was in the movie Men in Black.:D

[Langenator]

There's been many instances of gun porn on this board...but that thing is obscene.

[JMag]

Here's betting if MR advertising like Springfield it'll be the next XD!!!! Yippee....oh, the price will go up by $200...

[The Silver Bullet 1719]

I still think the XD is uglier. In fact, take off the ports, and I wouldn't mind getting one.

[N3rday]

as far as gun porn goes, that is like the weirdos who have fat women with beard fetishes

makes N3rd sad...:(

poor gun, its like the Christmas tree that never gets chosen and taken home and just dies...

[schapman43]

When I saw the title of the thread I knew exactly what gun you were talking about :)

[CZ52GUY]

None of the pic's there included porting.

It can be bought with tritium night sights or adjustable sights as an option.

It uses the same mag's as the Baby Eagle line which means you get get some decent high cap's in the $30 range from CDNN (9mm).

If I am reading correctly over at the CZ-Forum, there MAY be the opportunity to share mag's with say a CZ-75B (something I have).

It will definitely take my M3 Light...what the heck, I'm getting a quote on one with Tritium Night Sights.

Best wishes,

CZ52'

[Tropical Z]

I think its awesome!
Holding one in my hand will be the determining factor as to whether i really like it or not however.

[pwrtool45]

The goatse of the handgun world.

That's just...ah...special.

So, I'm wondering if that Taurus someone posted is better or worse. It'd hard to judge based on fuzzy outlines, which is all I can see now that my retinas have been fused into an unfocused position. Thank goodness for small blessings, I guess.

[BamBam-31]

Mercy flush, please. :barf: :scrutiny:

[care-less]

Kind of reminds me of when Glocks first came out. What an ugly gun! Well, it turns out that something that ugly "has got to work", and it sure does! I have to admit this thing is ugly; but uglier than a USPc, Walther P99, Smith P99, any Ruger auto? I really don't think so. If it shoots as well in proportion to how ugly it is; it may just be a real beauty.

[N3rday]

Personally, I love how the walther p99 looks, as well as the smaller Ruger Autos. The USP is nowhere near as ugly as that gun. I'm sure it would look better if the slide was longer...

[bytor94]

If a particularly evil scientist crossed a Glock, a Hi-Point, and a Baby Eagle, what would you get??? :what:
