Colt Gold Cup Commander custom job by Ned Christensen at Michiguns. I lifted this photo from his site. The custom fixed sight replacing the Eliason sight is a really nice example of what an accomplished guy can do. The Ivory stocks don't hurt either!
There are a lot of details on this gun that are really something. For more see the photo gallery at www.m-guns.com
Yohan,
I'm sorry to say that your post about Glocks seems like it was inpired by the Dixie Chicks.
Please recant or I will no longer be able to cover your 6.
Bambam,
I'm sorry to say that your post about my post about Glocks seems like it was inpired by a goat. Especially considering the fact that you misspelled inspire.
Dixie Chicks? There's a difference between disliking Glocks and bashing the president in front of a foreign audience. Do you have a shrine for Gaston Glock in your room? If so, what does it look like? Also, if he ran for president, would you vote for him?
This should really be two separate questions. It should be what is the best looking Semi auto and then what is the best looking revovler because everbody know that semi autos are quite ulgy compared to revolvers.
With that being said, I think the Walther PP is the best looking semi auto and the best looking revolver is the Colt 1861 Navy.
1. Third Model Colt Woodsman Match Target .22, 4 1/2" barrel. Straight lnes where it should have straight lines and curves where it should have curves, all in exquisitely machined metal and beautifully blued.
Have lusted after one since 1960, will probably have one one of these days.
2. Any Browning High Power--a classic if there ever was one.
3. Remington New Model Police Revolver, .36 Percussion--inspiration for the styling of the Ruger Bearcat.
4. Colt 1851 Navy--another classic.
5. 1911 Colt engraved by a master. (One sits in the safe but no photo to post even if I knew how.)
The prettiest gun I've ever seen was a lavishly engraved six-inch blued Colt Python with ivory stocks and lots of gold inlay work. At $8,500, it was a little rich for my blood.
I supplied the Les Baer. Then my good friend Pete Single, supplied all the custom parts (i.e. Ed Brown Beavertail, mag release, Wilson hammer, etc etc). Obviously, he did all the custom work too.
The finished product was polished and then hard chromed by Alamo. Then it was coated with Boron carbide.
The custom work and parts supplied was a gift to me from Pete. All total, the gun is valued over $5000
