People are pretentious. I don't see how an inanimate object is pretentious. I have had expensive handguns and more affordable handguns. I never considered any of them pretentious.

Amazing that even a thread as innocuous as this recommends posters for one’s ignore list.

What Is Your Most Unpretentious Handgun?

If someone is offended by the posts thus far, at least enough to put someone on an ignore list, then it’s a good idea to make use of that ignore list so they won’t be offended in the future. When people get offended they historically tend to make things personal and go off topic, which has negative implications for a thread.

It may be a Smith & Wesson, but it sure isn't fancy nor is it pretentious... It's a pretty blatant derivative of a Glock, so much so that the original Gen 1 Sigma SW40F (mine is a Gen 3) was similar enough to a Glock that they actually filed a lawsuit against S&W over it which ended up settled out of court. Nothing pretentious about that, in fact it's pretty darn humble if anything for Smith & Wesson to so blatantly copy another company's design, especially one so plain and utilitarian as a Glock.
Yeah, I was thinking my SW40F would probably classify as my most unpretentious handgun. Sure was cheap, though, and it sure is a nice shooter!
