Mmmm I wouldn't exactly call it ugly. It has a certain antique aesthetic appeal to it.

 

[mr.folk]

it is ugly

i don't know who would waste $80 on a gun that isn't a collectible and if you shot it it would probably explode.

A gunsmith could tell you if it would explode (probably it wouldn't) and for 80 bucks, why not? It doesn't have to be collectible it just has to be interesting, and this is an interesting little gun.

 

[Tim the student]

I think its ugly. However, I don't think its as ugly as some other guns I have seen posted on THR.

 

[The_Shootist]

Yeah - its got a bad case of the fuglies.

 

[hexidismal]

I'd probably want to own it just as a conversation piece. It's kind of.. steampunky

 

[Buck Snort]

Its a bonified, certified VUG!!

I just saw a worse looking 9mm auto at a gunshow yesterday that was made in Croatia, and was some kind of spinoff of a Walther P-38, only hideous. I almost bought it BECAUSE it was the ugliest gun I ever saw, but it was too much. Anyone know what I am speaking of that has a picture? I think Sarco sold them for awhile. http://www.southernohiogun.com/new-arrivals/php-mv-17-pistol-9mm.html#

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[JimKirk]

I wouldn't use it as a pocket pistol .... the hammer wouldn't snag .... but the trigger would shoot your gonads off!!

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

.... but the trigger would shoot your gonads off!!

Not if you pay attention to Rule Three. It is also possible that the trigger might fold up.

Condition "Fair" overall "Good"...lol

Rusted, cracked and broken grips, doesn't index, etc...where the heck did they get their grading standards?

I'd say it was "Pristine, no box" *used to be a cheap low value Saturday Night Special*.

 

[loadedround]

Is that a first generation Glock revolver? It's ugly enough to be one.

 

[Don357]

It ain't a Smith & Wesson but it does look better than a Glock.

 

[armoredman]

Add a few watch parts, some polished brass, and you definately have a steampunk gun. Just make sure the firing pin is removed!

 

[DrLaw]

Okay, it is not pleasing to the modern eye, but back around the turn of the century, (the last one) this was the thing to have in Europe if you were on a bicycle.

It is called a Velo-Dog revolver. Invented in France, it was to use against dogs while you were riding a bike.

Also check Google images and you will find one just like it.

The Doc is out now.

I thought this was going to be a Hi-Point thread.

Looks kinda artsy. Might have been Picasso's gun.
