Best looking handguns? - Page 3

lcpiper · September 24, 2013, 12:36 PM

Actually I have been thinking of getting an old Beretta M1934 in .380 and having it refinished as I think it could come out stunning.

JohnO · September 26, 2013, 09:41 AM

A Colt Python or any 1911 built by Chuck Rogers.

It looks like everyone has totally different tastes just like with cars

No introduction needed . . .

PatientWolf · October 4, 2013, 04:09 AM

Easy...

Semi-automatic: 1911
Revolver: Ruger Vaquero.

born2climb · October 4, 2013, 05:57 AM

My wife bought me this for my 45th birthday last year. She said, "You only turn 45 once!"

I'd say it's the best-looking gun I own...

Always wanted a good looking 45 cal Vaquero, finally found one with no writing on the side of the barrel. Snapped it up. And bonus, it shoots almost as good as it looks. First 6 shots pictured below.

aarondhgraham · October 4, 2013, 09:35 AM

These aren't necessarily the prettiest guns out their,,,
But they are definitely my favorites for aesthetics.

Semi-auto = Beretta Cheetah
Modern Revolver = 4" S&W K-frame pencil barrel
Older Revolver = 1860 Colt.

I have been looking for one of these for years:

shafter · October 5, 2013, 07:35 AM

The 1860 Army as well as the 1851 Navy are beautiful handguns.

So are Single Action Army's and most of Smith and Wesson's blued revolvers.

EvgeniBG · October 5, 2013, 10:06 AM

Semi-autos - H&K USP series (except Elite maybe).
Revolvers - S&W 686 (long barrels).

Pinky Carruthers · October 5, 2013, 03:12 PM

BHP
Walther P88
Walther P5

jr24 · October 5, 2013, 03:50 PM

For semis I'm always partial to Hi Powers and 1911's, CZ's would be third.

For wheel guns I like SAA's, Smith model 19's and the old 1851/60 Navy/Army style.

Dunecigar · October 7, 2013, 12:04 PM

Once saw on the internet a gun called the Wolverine, looks like a space gun from the '50s, no really it does.

If someone has a photo handy by chance please upload.

Dunecigar · October 7, 2013, 12:14 PM

Never mind. I found it. Here it is. Very nice.

k511 · October 7, 2013, 08:37 PM

+1 to the 1911....in my mind, its the king of the mountian in all aspects, heres one of my colt 1911's a real looker IMHO

a close second for me is my K22,,Almost too good looking to shoot

the pythons in royal blue are also darn fine looking firearms IMO,,wish i had one....

kirbinster · October 8, 2013, 03:27 PM

While there are lots of good looking guns, here is the BEST looking gun, my S&W Performance Center 1911:

A close second place finish is owned by my Kimber Eclipse Custom II

rep1954 · October 8, 2013, 05:47 PM

Colt 1860 Army cartridge conversion sans ejector.

Glock20/460long · October 8, 2013, 09:25 PM

I love my Glock, looks don't matter much to me, I'm revolver guy.

For now of all my revolvers, I like looking at my S&W 327 M&P most, not to mention what I paid for it, but......My S&W 627 V-Comp comes in a close second, but,.............size matters........Ohhh, I forgot my Ruger Redhawk blued 5.5" .44............................

passtime · October 11, 2013, 12:38 AM

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course but these would be my picks.

S&W 659

Stainless Steel Luger

Dunecigar · October 11, 2013, 10:23 AM

happytrails-

Beholder nothing! That stainless SW5906 is such a beautiful weapon. Missed my chance on grabbing one, so when I found myself in the market for a good 9mm I turned to the DP-51 since it was designed around the 5906.

Have a great day.

passtime · October 11, 2013, 06:55 PM

That's the first time I have heard of a Daewoo. Looks interesting. I looked around the web and found a few that were used and already sold. Mostly good reviews. Are they still in production and if so who sells them? every time I think about it I mentally kick myself in the butt for selling that 659. I could shoot within an inch or two of a stick stuck in the ground at 100 yards with the one I had.
