Ugliest pistol ever made.

[rocinante]

i agree with others you are nuts if you think the P08 is ugly. I think the P38 was so beautiful I had mine (post war P1) hard chromed and put purty grips on. But others think it is ugly so beauty and beholder applies.

The Japanese made a pistol that looks like a meat cleaver. Not the Nambu. FUGLY.

I agree the Hi Point is way up on the list. I did a quick scan on gunbroker in the pistol and collectable section. Nothing else I deem truly ugly. hi point for the win (loss)

 

[gordy]

yes this is my glock, there are many like it. But this one is mine.
Hay I can't find my glock in this pile of glocks. will some one help me find my glock?

 

[Taurus 617 CCW]

Hi Point is the ugliest pistol I've ever seen.

 

[Stophel]

Come on, guys.... I can't believe no one else has said...

Mateba!

 

[Stophel]

How 'bout the Korth for second place?



Sure, it may be the most finely-assembled pistol ever, but MAN is it ugly.

 

[NinjaFeint]

First time I've heard an XD called ugly. But I will agree with Hi Point. Darn things are functional though.....

Really?


I'd vote for the XD service model.

 

[Triggernosis]

Anything in polymer... though, I do own a couple.

 

[Nasty]

Delta53 - " FP-45 Liberator - thousands made and given away, I think they should have another give away"

Seconded!

The Japanese pistols sure were ugly...Lorcins...pimped out gold trimmed Glocks...take your pick.

 

[oldpuppymax]

Glocks are about as attractive as a parson's widow. But they DO work. And the Lugar...I think that's a nifty, stylish pistol.

 

[Loyalist Dave]

Come on, guys.... I can't believe no one else has said...

Mateba!

How about the Mateba with a 2" barrel? BLECK

Hi-Points hit every branch when they fell out of the ugly tree.
Right up there in beauty with the stone club.

 

[MCgunner]

Charter Arms Explorer II pistol. This one ain't mine, but I have one. I'll give it a nomination, though it's down right pretty compared to Hi Point. Shoots pretty decent, too, but I never took a picture of mine. My camera set me back 200 bucks, don't wanna break it.

 

[NinjaFeint]

Just wanted to chime in on Glocks, they are plain but some of the guns mentioned here are downright ugly. I think Glocks are saved from being truly ugly by the fact they really have no features or scroll marks or fancy cuts to the slide.

 

[MachIVshooter]

Hi Point

Agreed, at least for current production. Although it'll have stiff competition once the new Chiappa revolver hits dealer shelves. Bleh!

As for ugly guns of the past, there was no shortage. Although I can't believe we've heard both the Luger and the M1911 called ugly in this thread. Both are very elegant designs, though the 1911 is elegant in a more utilitarian way.

 

[MCgunner]

Hmm, no one disin' on the Ruger P guns? I think mine are beautiful, especially since pretty is as pretty does, but I've seen 'em called ugly and, well, I mean, if a P08 makes the list, anything's game, right?

 

[Jonah71]

My Kimber Pro BP 10 .45 cal. isn't exactly ugly.....but it sure isn't much to look at. Has an extremely plain and "functional only" look to it. And I'm also in the camp that likes the Luger. Would love to own one.

 

[DAVIDSDIVAD]

The Colt M1911 is the ugliest piece of crap ever built. The P08 however, is pure style.

Just kidding


Personally, I find TT-33s and Colt 1903s do be ugly

 

[rswartsell]

No votes for the new King of Ugly, the Rhino revolver by the same Mateba guy?

 

[The Bushmaster]

the judge. Not only ugly, but absolutely useless...

 

[mcdonl]

Both are very elegant designs, though the 1911 is elegant in a more utilitarian way.

I should point out that in my post, it was the shiny finish and engraving that made that 1911 ugly. IMO

I think that the utilitarian aspect of the 1911 (And the tt-33) are what lend to their beauty

And, I own two Hi Points and normally they are not that bad, but with the extended magazine they are ugly as sin. Looking like a fool with their magazine on the ground....

 

[halfded]

I think some of the HK's are hideous, especially for the price..Flame away.

 

[Zundfolge]

Doesn't get much uglier than the IWI SP-21 "Barak"

Its name makes it even uglier.

 

[funkychinaman]

Two stick out in my mind:

- Borchardt C-93. Ugly, and it looks like an ergnomic nightmare.

- CZ-82. I've heard very good things about it, but it looks like a collection of mismatched parts.

 

[JHK94]

The Hi Point looks absolutely great compared to the Maverick/Stallard J S that resembles it.

[stchman]

How can anybody think a P08 Luger or a Broomhandle Mauser can look good?

While the Glocks are not the prettiest pistols, they are just plain not ugly. I personally don't think Hi Points are that ugly.

Every pistol compared to my SR9 is ugly.

Just goes to show you that beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.
