Most Aesthetically Pleasing Firearm?

I can stare at this thing for hours .... real pain in the neck to set up though. So I have to do something while I recuperate from lugging the 400 pounds of metal around.

I have a soft spot for Stainless and 2-tone 1911's ...

Beretta Model 1934

I'm a fool for the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless.

Older...parkerized/dull metal and olded wood Browning A5s

This is a question that can't be answered. There are so many beautiful guns out there. Granted, I find classic and hand crafted guns usually hold higher honors in the beauty department I tend to be buy or assemble modern weapons and am practical about it. That being said, these are the most beautiful in my collection. An AR 15 Frankengun built of quality parts and an all metal less wooden hand grips Beretta 92A1. I adore both these weapons.




For old school craftsmanship, I prefer a friends old Mannlicher though I'm sure I have yet to see the most beautiful gun yet.

Stunning. Where are the grips from?

Not sure it's the best looking pistol but it is certainly my favorite 9mm and since it had a lot of mentions but no photo...

Mine's the Sphinx SDP Compact Kryptonight Edition. Coincidentally this looks to be a very high-performance gun, but this thread has nothing to do with that. It's all about looks. What's yours?

Absolutely!! Love it. King of the CZ pattern pistols. Would love to add a Sphinx to my collection one day.

I love my 75 transitional. That's my submission.

Ithica single barrel trap I believe. Model? Approximate value!?

It's the wood for me, Walnut, with lot's of crotch grain and hand rubbed to a satin finish.

Yup, the one and only. Not many of them in the US.

Mine was converted to US 50 BMG. Soviet ammo is too hard to find. Original belts/ feed mechanism works fine with US 50 cal.

Winchester 1894 Trails End - it just 'ticks all the boxes'

Third on this. Gorgeous. And yes, please tell on those grips.

I'd say either a 1911 or a smith N frame, either stainless with nice wood grips

Most beautiful gun

Purely subjective. My list: 1911's; Colt Python; Springfield M1;Colt saa; M1 Garand; Smith and Wesson n frames, particularly the 29 44magnum. Not in any particular order. I would love to have any of these! (1911 I have, but you can' t have to many).

Colt Woodsman/Match Target, Browning A-5, S&W model 27, Weatherby tube fed MKXXII.

BHP & Springfield M1A

pics or it didn't happen

An odd choice, but as an instructor of a lot of first time shooters, when I hand them this they shoot a lot of tens. Admittedly it may have something to do with the full Volquartsen kit.

For generic production guns - Winchester M70 Featherweight.
