Revolver beauty...Autos are UGLY

[ColtPythonElite]

Yeah, I figured it had been back for a makeover...Nothing wrong with that. Matter of fact, I have a 60's gun that will probably go back sometime this year.

Redlegvzv,

That is a 1903 Colt Pocket Hammer in .38 ACP. It was made in 1920.

What ever you have if it serves you will it is a beauty to behold.

Like most on here.....I can't decide:

There are a few exceptions to the ugly semi rule. In my opinion, the most attractive semis are the falling block walther action variations

walther p38
walther P1
walther P4
walther P5
beretta 92

I think these are two very good looking revolvers.

I don't think auto's are ugly....they just lack the same "class" as revolvers. But then, I don't own any really nice looking autoloads. I once had a very beautiful Llama .45 but I would never trust my life with it. And I'm sure if I really needed it, my somewhat plain/ugly G 23 would really look beautiful to me. I have to admit though, I'm much less likely to trade away one of my old revolvers. It's harder to part with a nice revolver that's probably more difficult to replace than a bottom feeder.

technically that is an auto it's called a Webley-Fosbery self cocking revolver kinda of a mix between the two

Its still a revolver just that it auto cocks itself after being fired. A auto ejects and feeds a new round from a magazine.

I admit it can be a tough choice sometimes. I tend to be partial to revolvers, however.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I personally feel that a revolver with a scope on it is fugly no matter how nice the pistol is. It just doesn't look right.

For utility, plastic framed autos have the market. Glock, M&P, and XD are the tools of the trade now, but they are also void of personality and the cool factor. I carry a Glock concealed, but it is a black thing that goes bang. I have no urge to show it to my friends or post pictures on THR. How many of you even bother looking when someone posts a thread "check out my new glock (pics)"? I know I don't.

The finer things in life are not usually the most practical....

Bad picture, bad replacement grips, but I just picked up a 1957 blue Cobra on Friday, and feel the urge to post a pic on THR
