[Chrontius]

The Good:
CZ-52
Mateba .454, 4", chrome.
Tec-9
SP-101
Carbon 15 -- anything that looks like a portable autocannon gets points in my book ^_^
In that spirit, the Jackhammer shotgun
An engraved MP5 I saw once on an image board

The Bad:
Ravens

The Ugly:
Hi-Point
Wildey
Uzi
Berettas, the new Storm excepted
FN pistol

The comical:

The cute:

Best
- 1911

Worst
- H&K P7M8, that's one ugly gun.
- A 1911 when people start adding light rails, red dot sights and other crap.

My vote for the ugliest has to go to the Wildley, I mean that guy really tried to make a great pistol as ugly as he possibly could.

My vote for the best looking auto Berretta 92 FS
The best looking revolver, S&W 29

Very Ugly Yet Very Cool: C96

I love the look of these... but I'm almost ashamed than I do. They are undeniably ugly.

 

[TimboKhan]

Liberator!

Rival, that Liberator might be ugly, but what a cool gun once you consider what it was designed for, what its purpose was and its general signifigance. Still, pretty ugly gun though! My votes are Ugliest: Hi-point Anything and Prettiest: Anything that I own. But especially my P90 (haha, take that Rockstar.esq!)

My top 3 would be a SIG P230/232 . Blued is best and I like the slide of the 230 better so a 230 with 232 grips . S&W Model 10-8 , even better with a Monogrip . Browning P35 , any of them without a tangent sight or engraving .

Bottom 3 , throwing out the Lorcinavenco gimmes , : any top break revolver , anything that is "tactical" , Ruger autos but especially that new .45 .

For the face that only I apparently could love award : I bought a Beretta 9000S because I thought , and still do , that it was the coolest looking pistol in the store

 

[Checkman]

Best looking revolver: S&W M27-2 with 6.5" barrel and target grips.

Best looking auto: C96 "Broomhandle" Mauser - It's a classic

Ugliest revolver: Nagant Model 1895.

Ugliest auto: Hi-Point

My Picks

Colt combat commander
Savage North .36

Ugliest.....a Webley

Speak for yourself. I think the .455 Webley is kind of neat looking, as an example of Victorian and Edwardian era mechanical steelmongery.

Ugly? One of these

 

[kbheiner7]

The 1911 is the prettiest - hands down.

Beretta makes some sleek looking pistols.

Smith and Ruger revolvers are pretty, minus the lawerese stamps on them these days.

uttingonflameproofsuit: Eastern Bloc pistols are all ugly.

 

[Commissar Gribb]

best looking-

1911s hard chromed with rosewood grips.

FN Hi powers

and I'll probably catch crap for this but- Soviet Tokarev TT33 pistols

Horrid looking-

Hi points (suicide special is a stretch since you'd have to be caught dead with it and who would want to do that?)

I'll bet you like fat women with bustles, too.

 

[Joe Meyer]

Best looking: Rugers

Worst looking: Smith&Wesson

 

[StrikeEagle]

Best looking: Rugers

Worst looking: Smith&Wesson

Whoa! I love the look of a Ruger, too... (the old Six series has these rugged good looks!) but you're serious about thinking Smiths are ugly?

You no like the looks of a 4" M66?
Or a 6.5" deeeeeeeeep blued M29?

Best looking gun for me... A Stainless H&K USP Compact. Don't know why. To me, it just looks like what a semiauto should look like.

Ugliest is any handgun with grips that don't match the look of the pistol. A perfect example is a cowboy SA revolver I saw on a thread here the other day; beautiful metal, fantastic looking gun, and.... BLACK PLASTIC GRIPS. Going in the other direction, that P7 reissue with the dark wood grips was hideous.

And those P22 grips... Ugggggg-leeeeee.

 

[CZF]

Anyone says Pre-B series Cz75 from the dark ages of Communism?
sleek and deadlly..
satin blue with the ribbed plastic grips..CZexy!!!!!

 

[Joe Meyer]

S&W have little ugly "safety locks" on them.That alone makes them ugly.

 

[cortez kid]

My Rugers amd Smiths share the same shelf. I was going to say the Dessert Eagle until I seen Rival's entry. Man, that is one ugly gun! I think I have to have one. Man in The Forrest; go easy on poor ole Smith. Lots of beautiful guns before "the lock". Not too many years from now and we will be paying dearly for all those "early" lock models.
good shootin
kid

 

[Joe Meyer]

What if a BG was shooting at you and you had forgotten to unlock your S&W. :banghead: . Any gun that won't shoot when you need it to is ugly.
