I still think the overall look of the Ruger SR9c is very pleasing to the eye. The HK VP9 and Steyr M9 also win some style points as does the Kahr CM9 for it's minimalist approach and super clean lines. The CZ P07 is a little bit "blocky" looking but I think it's business-like appearance more than makes up for it. Just one man's opinion!

P99 is probably my favorite as well, but who could
call early HK plastic ugly .

Steyr A1 and Sig P365 are a couple of the nicest looking plastic guns IMO.

Agree, I find the simple lines appealing.
Most everything else posted here has all kinds of cuts and jags and dodads that ruin it for me.
Heck, my most used Glock (Gen 5 19 MOS) has ruined it as well with the front serrations (though very useful on that slick finish).
Gen 3 or 4 is where it's at, for plastic guns, in my eyes.

VP70?
Isn't that the same pistol that if you attach the stock to it, it will enable a 3 round burst?

Only on the military contract guns. The civvy versions were DA only.

I'm not sure inanimate objects can have a soul, well shoes but it is spelled different.
Didn't know that. I thought it was every VP70 Pistol made that had that feature, but needed the stock attached for the three round burst to work.

The fictional antagonists in "Battlestar Galactica." They come in many shapes and sizes, but are advanced artificial intelligences, some of which assume a human form. They are even monotheists and highly devout.
Tell one to its face plate that it has no soul and prepare to run!

Tool, not trophy..really don't care how it looks, care how it works. Yes, there are some 'pretty' BBQ guns but for a shooter, something shot frequently for whatever reason..who cares what it 'looks' like. Some do, I guess, I really don't.
'Pretty' reminds me of when they made Mustangs..with a puny 4 banger in it but lots of emblems, labels, strips, etc..

You tellin' me the Phantom wasnt a work of art AND functional?
Thats the great thing about the pistol world- you might have to pay more, or endure a weight penalty, but there are good looking guns out there which function just as well as their more utilitarian tupperware counterparts. You can have your cake and eat it too if you want.

Yeah, so say y'all.
One of my favorite shows, and not just for Katee.
The VP70 is the only pistol I've ever fired where I had to switch trigger fingers to finish the magazine!
Looking at the 'cool factor' in that photo makes me wish I had kept mine.
I don't know.
Way more blued steel than plastic in my safes, but I enjoy both equally.
And I'll bet (deep down) you do too!
Say Ernie Bass, does that SR9c come with different backstraps?
