Most Beautiful Gun

[Starter52]

+1 on the Colt 1860.

5" S&W Model 27 with a Tyler T-grip and diamond magna stocks. Classic.

When I first me Alabama Dan back in 72 he was the proud owner of a mint
Smith & Wesson,blued model 57,41 magnum with a 4 inch barrel. It was a beautiful thing to behold and shoot. As the great Bob Hope sang it "thanks for the memories".

There's a reason my first gun as a 1911. It wasn't so much the history,or the shootability. It was the presence that platform has on me. Absolutely beautiful. As to a specific 1911, well... I like so many varieties that I'll just leave it at the platform.

No matter how hard you try to make a Glock look better.... somethings just aren't meant to be.

Any Colt Python with 4" barrel. If i ever get to own one, i'll shoot my TV with it and watch the gun instead

Wish I had a color photo to do it justice....the Browning Medalist (Renaissance version) is without question, drop dead beautiful. Elegant lines and styling, grips and forearm gracefully done in highly figured carved walnut. Engraving by the Leige masters is icing on the cake. Unfortunately only a few hundred were ever made....most of those are in locked away in collectors vaults.

I think the most beautiful handgun in the world is the Walther P38

 

[45auto]

SA Colt Army with case hardened receiver with polished blued parts.

 

[natjan]

My beloved no' 3 bergman. It is a close call, but i'll leave it to someone else to to add the c96 mauser.

 

[CajunBass]

Colt Single Action Army. Color case hardened frame. Ivory grips.

Blued Colt Python 4"

Smith & Wesson Model 19 4"

Browning Hi-Power

My 5.5" Single Six in stainless. For me, its lines are just perfect. Cary Chapman's spalted maple grips set it off perfectly.

Also my 1935 vintage Smith 38/44. Excellent condition with some holster wear. It had the wrong grips when I got it so I had a set made up by our very own Executioner, aka Patrick Grashorn. Wow.

I can look at both of them for hours.

Ala, I think you are on the right track.

Same family, different generation.

Agreed, Texshooter! For sheer beauty, the Browning Hi-Power. Not jazzed up, not engraved, just clean, lovely lines.

Only one???



Well, if it's only going to be one, let it be a six-inch Royal Blue Colt Python.

 

[Deer Hunter]

This one's easy.



Before anyone says anything crude, let's think about this. The government called upon a small division of the General Motors company whom knew nothing about firearms (but a hell of a lot about mass production) to design and build a large number of simple pistols that would be dropped across german-occupied areas for the citizens to use for defense. Millions of these were made for the citizens of those countries.

It is absolutely beautiful that our government decided that throwing free ammunition and firearms to citizens who were victims of oppression was the right thing to do. This weapon literally stands for the right to bear arms.

The most beautiful gun to me is one that goes bang with every pull of the trigger, even under the most extreme conditions, and I'm able to hit my target with it.

 

[SigfanUSAF]

The S&W Model of 1955 does it for me
-Not mine but a beautiful example belonging to one of our customers.
