@Paul R Zartman I don't find that 742 particularly ugly but it definitely doesn't look right.

@Mark_Mark , since you brought up the VP 70z here's a picture.

I don't think this is really that ugly either. I concur with rest of what you said. When compared to the more recent Heckler and Koch products, this is a thing of beauty.

have you seen the Grip vs. frame size? like it don’t blend that well
 
My Astra 600, also known as "The Pipe Wrench"
Hardest recoiling pistol I have and it's only a 9mm,
stings the web of the hand like a hot .40 S&W and is
a complete PITA to take down to clean and to re-assemble.
Fun shooter though and the history on these is amazing.

I got the Nazi's pistol that they paid for and never got, neener, neener!"

Like I said, the wood and basket weave is a work of art, they just were on acid or something (70s)... the nose of the forearm is wider and bigger than the receiver end, just backwards and it makes the gun look..."wait for it"... very unusual... but she's mine and I may have to live with the fact that she will always be living at home...:confused:
Heres a pic, which one sticks out like a SORE THUMB...

just think it like this, they will never make another gun like that because acid is kidda not cool anymore and skilled wood carvers are near extinct
 
geez Mark... nice gun.... but i really like the shoulder it is resting on.... mighty fine my friend....

Guns and beauty are a lot like women. All kinds of different tastes.

But when either are running low on availability, like a weapons ban or bar closing time….

Go ugly early and avoid the rush. :)

I knew a lanky tom boy in high school, just was friends, dang did she blossom in college! I was way too late
 
Much like my first girlfriend, yeah she was a little ugly, but you have to start somewhere.

RG40, .38 Special

I eventually replaced it with a slightly nicer six shot .38 special

Best be mindful of who you say that to.
Anthony Quinn didn't take kindly to this guy's disparaging remarks.

You got that right. The recoil came as a big and unpleasant surprise.
