Ugly Semi-Auto

Hey! This is getting to me like some of you guys. I can't tell if they are ugly, or exotic???!!! Maybe they are uglotic or exugly, but I like it. Keep it going!!!
 
Where are you guys even finding these guns?


I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but still, only the inventor could step back and say, "now that's a good looking gun".
 
There really need to be categories, if you're going to be fair :)

-old, obscure

-new(er), popular

The early development of ANY technology is never focused on looks, so many (though not ALL) old obscure guns can have a crude, prototypical look to them. Same holds true for cars, trains, motorcycles or washing machines. (Yes, I know - old Henrys and Winchesters aren't ugly.)

The Beretta Neos .22 would get my vote among the more modern guns. That's a shame, because the Italians usually have a great visual sense (Da Vinci, Maserati sports cars, etc.) I used to actually think broomhandles were ultra-cool when I was a kid, but not any more.

Or more likely:
"Stupid boss rejects my first design and then makes me stay over the weekend fixing it before the deadline... Let's see if he'll pass this POS now that we're outta time!" :evil:

followed by:
"Whoa, I can't believe they went for it ":eek:

I'd bet the prototypes were ;)

All of the weapon list as being ugly but at the end they do what they was design to do, shot and kill!
 
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Up in the white north I heard of what they call a "Winter Woman". Usually the term means a "warm, large, hard working, cooks three large square gormet meals per day, saws/chops/stacks firewood, fixes the truck, sets broken legs, low financial maintanance, runs the trap line and always has a handy smile" type lady. She won't ever be seen on a run-way in size two clothes, but her other attributes more than make up for cosmetics.

I equate "ugly Glocks" with Winter women. Just depends on what floats your boat. :)

Then again, some of us will migrate south for the winter... ;)

Post #49 the Mars pistol. Geoffrey Boothroyd, "The Handgun", quotes Royal Navy test of the Mars. No one who shot it once volunteered to fire it again. The power of a magnum, but the ergonomics tended to enhance the recoil experience.

Post #43 Stallard. The Hi Point is an evolution of the Stallard, technically improved (bug fixed) and aesthetically enhanced (prettified). If you have not seen a Stallard, imagine an ugly cousin of the Hi Point.

My vote is the Clerke First, a cast zinc revolver that looked like a toy, but that was a revolver. Still an ugly handgun. Made the Hi Point autos look good, though.

Well, I live in the Heart of Dixie, home of some of the most beautiful ladies I've seen anywhere.....but I still like old, ugly, workhorse Glocks.:)

Oooh. So that's the gun Owen Zastava Pitt is named after.
 
It's not the ugliest but it deserves honorable mention

The Intratec CAT-9

I forgot about the CAT-9.
The Davis .32 and .380 pistols were pretty ugly.
 
Every Glock ever made. Sure, there are uglier guns, but nobody actually owns them (when was the last time you saw a real life Hi Point?)
 
I cannot believe the number of Glock votes. The Glock is beautiful in a functional way for sure.

Taste in firearms is purely subjective, so not everyone will agree with you on that.
