Here is an easy question: What is the prettiest gun for you to look at?

Blued steel and wood rifles of the past
Plus smith and Wesson blued Revolvers!

WWI and WWII 1911's, S&W Victory revolvers, Luger P08 pistols, etc.

Mauser HSc, and Winchester model 88's are awful pretty.

Tough to nail it down to one.

If it came down to the ones that I own, pride of place would seem to indicate this one.

Lots of American walnut, exceptional *feel* to it, wonderful to hear the action.... Just plain beautiful.

Todd.

Savage 99's
S&W 27's when pristine, old hand ejectors or early model 10's with honest patina.

Nice, but can it take down a deer?

Yes a whole herd at a time.

I Love Browning hi power's with the deep blueing /wood grips

I love my Brownings. I have four total.

Here is my newest. Not a good photo but a great gun.

The Hummingbird, from Peter Hofer in Austria. A double rifle in 22Hornet or 17HMR that weighs 1Kg, 2.2 lbs.......

Several deer from 18 miles away

Among those I get to lay eyes on, I'm very partial to polished-stainless revolvers with wood stocks.

I also find the deep bluing on many European all-steel pistols almost mesmerizing. Usually, it's the Eastern-Euro ones, like the Com-Bloc guns, and my Bulgarian Mak is definitely up there, but the finish on my Star Super B almost wants me to go swimming in it (as to the OP, incidentally, I bought that gun along with another, a Winchester 94, together.)

Might not be as pretty as some posted on here. But man I love watching my daughter shoot this thing. Gives me some peace of mind knowing she can protect herself when I'm gone.

I can’t pick single favorites.

I really like commander length 1911’s.

And pretty doesn’t mean safe queen.

Flint Lock long rifle with tiger stripe maple wood and engraved brass furniture .

I love looking at revolvers in general. The pleasing lines of a Smith & Wesson, the rugged looks of Rugers, the class of Colts. I think Webleys and Nagants are ugly yet cool. I like the way revolvers look.

Never seen or held one in real life...only seen pictures. Winchester model 70 with a maple stock.

Smith & Wesson 17-3 revolver

My .54/28 gauge flintlock smoothbore.

I don't need pretty guns. I like ugly guns that work good. The uglier the better.

Easy. C-Series Browning Hi-Power, just like the one that I successfully used to defend my life in 1977.

Pretty guns were made to work too.
