Most Attractive Semi Auto

Post #58

Beretta 8040 Inox



I was attracted to her by her looks, anyway.

The Beretta Cougar is a great looking gun that also feels good in the hand.



Even in the most basic black color.

My votes, in order:

Blued Browning Hi-Power. The gloss finish isn't bad, but it doesn't hold a candle to quality blueing.

Sig-Sauer P232. It's like an even sexier Walther PPK.

Blued 1911 Milspec. Forget the bells and whistles and pimptastical additions like forward slide serrations. Old Slabsides is a looker.

Luger and Ruger P85....not necessarily in that order

It depends on whether we're talking about a specific variant (custom or stock) of a given model, or that model's lines.

First place (general model) would have to go to either the venerable Colt Woodsman Target (early product/first series):



Or a CZ-75 (non-B):



However, I'd say the most attractive handguns I've seen was a stainless CZ-75 with a chrome finish and lightly colored wood grips (not sure which variety of wood) and a gentle, contoured checkering on the wood.

BTW that Sig P232 is sexy indeed.

The Steyr GB

Not in any real order:

1. Auto Mag (especially the "Dirty Harry" version, with those wood grips and long vent-ribbed barrel. Makes the Deagle look like... well, a Deagle...)
2. Luger, especially the artillery version
3. BHP
4. 1911 (especially Colt post-war commercials)
5. Walther PP/PPK
6. Walther P38
7. Sig P210
8. CZ75
9. (tie) S&W M39 and M645 (with wood grips instead of plastic)

Basically... if it's a nice shiny blue or a tasteful matte nickel or stainless, with wood grips, chances are I'll like it....

Browning Hi Power

Wags,

NICE!!

Thanks sm. I've included a right side view, and another left side since a lot of the posters mention this pistol. The Browning High Power, the most recognizable (or 2nd to the 1911 ?) and most widely distributed military pistol in the WORLD in it's day.

SS Loaded Champion with mesquite grips

I like the way an old T Series BHP looks. I only have one with the origonal grips and that old blueing. It is my favorite. Wags, that is a nice BHP!!! Exactly what I am Talking About!!!

Walther P38/P1. Here's mine.

Browning Hi-Power.

Distant second is the Colt 1903/1908.

Mauser C96.

the most beautiful auto handgun i ever saw or held was my friends .44 magnum automag...... that's an attactive handgun!!!!!!!

Here's another CZ 75 (PreB)

Between these and the HP, it is close...

Yeesh. Maybe I'm biased, but i like the Hk Usp Compact in stainless. Also the Usp Match.

Colt 1908
and... GLOCK 19
I think GLOCKs are pretty not kidding
best looking handgun is undeniably a nice N-frame in blue with walnut

My vote goes to one of my three High Standards. American craftsmanship at its finest!

Gentlemen, pack up your keyboards, this thread is over.

maybe it's just me, but I think the Steyr M1A is pretty nice looking

Benelli MP-95E with Nill grips.

CZ 75B Stainless

A tack-driving beauty...

I really like my BHP's, very classic outline, and stylish in the Practical model, this one is my carry gun:



For something more contemporary, the Witness Elite Match by Tanfoglio, matte and high polish blue, and matte and high polish chrome:



And for an all out "Barbeque Gun":



I really have started liking the looks of the CZ, the Art Deco design of the engraving is really quite nice, still not a fan of the grips on it though.
