Best looking handguns?
Personally I'd have to give it to the Beretta Cheetah. It's a shame they stopped make them.
What are your favorites? |

I like the looks of a S&W 442 with the old Uncle Mikes Boot Grips.

I concur with the Cheetah. Then you have to select which is the best of the Cheetah's. In my opinion, it is the Model 85.
There are a lot of nice looking revolvers too, and of those my preference leans toward the S&W's with 4" barrels. I am not a fan of pistols with the bayonet facing the wrong direction (elongated beavertails). Although, it amazes me how in love many fellow shooters are with them. It must be a sign of the times. |

I like the early Beretta Model 70, like the New Puma 7.65 better than the Cheetah. http://www.securityarms.com/firearm/4474

The Cheetah is as good looking as any of them. Also like the Dan Wesson CBOB.

1860 Army. Mine's an Italian reproduction, but still. Graceful lines, dead sexy.

Never owned one but I guess my vote would go to the Colt python in royal blue.

Best looking handguns?
I'd say the Beretta PX4, the Beretta 90-TWO and any 1911 45acp

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, DasGuy needs a check up.
The Cheetah is a beauty, the 92 is not far behind. Walther PP is another (not PPK/S) Python. That Woodsman is a beauty too. |

I guess I would also add a Sig P232 in Stainless Steel to this list...

I always found the P08 to be elegant looking. Way ahead of its time.
The Colt SAA is a classic. I think the 5" M27 is perfectly balanced. |

I was looking at a catalogue yesterday; the CZ75B is a handsome weapon. Actually most CZs seem to have something going for them in the "looks" department.

I disagree with the Berretta cause half the slide is missing. Love their shotguns though.
My vote is: Colt Python 1911 BHP in that order. On the other hand Ivanka ain't half bad. DSCN0580.jpg
