O.K. folks have been talkin' about ugly handguns, let's talk about beauties in handguns. Base on looks alone, not caliber nor usefullness, but just the sheer beauty of line and form, maybe finish as well. Here's my list of all time beautiful handguns:

1. (Tie) Colt New Frontier 4 3/4" barrel and Ruger Flat Top Blackhawk 4 5/8" barrel

2. Colt Single Action Army Model 1873 (and clones) 4 3/4" barrel

3. Colt 1860 Army Model, unaltered.

4. Colt 1872 Open Top, 5 1/2" barrel.

5. Colt 1860 Army, Richards Mason Conversion

6. Colt Python, 4" barrel

7. S&W .357 Magnum, 3 1/2" barrel.

8. S&W Distinguished Combat Magnum, Model 586, 4" barrel

9. Colt Gold Cup .45 ACP

10. Colt Woodsman Match Target.

These I consider the best looking handguns of all time. No arguing, please, but what are yours? Looks only, remember.
