Hi Point pistols and carbines are pretty ugly, but at least with the carbine you can dress is up to look like a Beretta CX4.

1911's are very pretty.
Stainless Colt SAA's are quite pretty too.

I think almost everyone can agree that the Beretta 92 series is insanely beautiful, or at least that it has one of the most eyegrabbing forms imaginable with all of it's lines and cuts. The same can be said for the Hi-Power, which I refer to as "the 1911s hot cousin".
Yes, I own both of these, but still, they are both very outstanding guns in terms of aesthetics.

As far as ugly goes, one gun I can't warm up to is the Chiappa Rhino. It defies what revolvers have been for the last hundred years in terms of both function and aesthetics.

Okay, as much as I hate to double post, my buddy and I brought up a very controversial "which is prettier" match up. Forget about manufacturer, forget about functionality, forget about cost, forget about everything that isn't aesthetics, just take a look at these two guns...





and decide, which one is prettier?

I'd like to hear a more specific "why you think your choice is prettier" from S&Wshooter and k9870, since the former is gay for anything S&W, period, and the latter talks about how much they hate Colt all the time. This decision requires a complete surrendering of brand miopia, and you guys will need it.

I like S&W's but I will be quite honest and say I think the Python looks visually more appealing.

Python looks better. The Model 19 is far from ugly though

Don't mean to troll but I actually find that gun kind of ugly.

I think the recent GP-100s are rather eye catching.

That's fine, everyone has their taste, though I will tell you it's something you have to experience firsthand to really appreciate.

Oddly enough I find the GP100 kind of ugly myself, but between the Python and the Model 19, I think the Model 19 is the better looking gun. The Python's lines are all very clean cut and parallel for the most part, and I don't find that as interesting as the more drastic ones on the 19. That makes it more interesting/visually appealing to me. I'll tell you right now though that if you're an artist, you'll have a much easier time trying to draw a Python well than a Model 19 just because of that fact, and for artists, that makes it a more interesting gun too.

Also, there have been far more that 10 revolver designs since the 1960s if you're willing to get into detail, or split hairs even, and I guess they all jumped on the revolver bandwagon since I posted my match up. I don't think a poll is a good idea, but I do think you guys should come up with match ups of your own, but make them fair, of course. Same type of gun, same era, something like that. Now that would make for an interesting thread.
