When you decide to purchase a firearm, how important are the looks of the gun in your decision making? In other words, are there guns that you think are too ugly to buy even if they were usefull in other ways?
I have to admit that I am shallow when it comes to gun purchases. If I think a gun is ugly, I won't own it. Rifles with thumbhole stocks are an example. I realize that those stocks might make a rifle easier to shoot and more accurate. But I find those stocks hideous. Square shaped handguns also don't appeal to me. Yes, some of them are great guns and I might be missing out on something good. But I don't like guns shaped like bricks.
On the other hand, I am a sucker for single action revolvers. I love the way they look. I like the looks of straight stock, lever action carbines. There are other guns I lkie the looks of. I have an old Remington bolt action .22 rifle. It looks like a scaled down big game rifle. It is a sleek looking thing.
How important are a guns looks to you? Does it factor into your purchase decisions or not? Are there guns that you think are too ugly to own? Or do you base your guns on utility no matter the looks?
