[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Coolest looking handgun out there? (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 11/13/2021 3:32:41 PM EDT

I’m bored and looking to drum up a conversation.

What do you think, in your opinion, is the coolest looking handgun out there today?

Everything from some case hardened single action to race guns, what do you believe is the most aesthetically pleasing thing available on the market today?

Pictures to support your opinion are appreciated.

Personally, I always thought the first gen, bi-tone Springfield XDS was pretty cool looking.

Also, honorable mention to the CZ Czechmate Parrot, just because it's pretty far out there.

IMHO, the Beretta 92 is the sexiest gun out there. A close second is the Sig P226. Bring on the hate.

Desert Eagle .50cal as seen in the matrix. Not the pimptastic gold came version.

The Remington R51 is the coolest looking handgun out there.

Fortunately, I don't buy handguns based just on their looks.

Runner up would be a Gov't model.

Not mine. Just great bullet launchers.

The Luger is up there, as is the SAA. I agree the Beretta 92's look cool too. Pythons are great looking revolvers.

I kind of agree that the Remington R51 looked cool. I briefly had a second generation one that actually worked, but fit and finish was horrible. I bought it because the mechanism was kind of unique and I wanted to play with it.

Sexy, but no "Grip Zone" to inform user where to hold pistol.

I always thought the Vector pistol from South Africa was very unique.

Streamlined (melted as the carry people call it) and ergonomic to fit the hand.

m&p 2.0 fde with thumb safety. bar none. all the elegance of the classics like the 1911 and the hi power in a modern polymer package. i dare to say this is the true spiritual successor to the 1911 converted to striker fire perfection

Good post for the new guy. Been looking at those too. Don’t care so much about the color, but I shot a friend’s 2.0 with a good trigger. Thing was amazing.

Stan Chen full house 1911 govt. Louvre-worthy. Not sure if it's "available" unless you're prepared to put down car money and wait half a decade, if not longer.

So far as normal pistols go, another JMB masterpiece

You, sir, can get that trash out of here.

On a serious note the Jericho 941 is a good looking pistol.

The Les Baer Monolith HW always looked sexy to me. So I had Alchemy dress one up added a gold front bead and medallion inlay on the grips. If Les Baer had the compact HW Monolith Stinger at the same time, I’d have a 4.25” mini-clone if this one too.

Hard chromed steel, wood and gold...

Prettiest one I owned

There's something about a 3" unshrouded Smith that looks perfect

I also like the 3rd gen Detective Specials.

I will admit that I've always kinda wanted a polished Deagle

The so-called S&W Pinto has always looked stunning...especially in engraved varieties

The Smith Model 39 has always been a looker in my eyes

The P6 I find attractive in purposeful kind of way.

These are cool in a space gun kinda way.

Too funny. I owned a Whitney Wolverine in .22 for awhile.

It was cool. Shot well. Sold it for a premium to fund other project. Guns that get shot once a year maybe and only get shot with one or two mags don’t make it long in my safe…

Super cool. WAY ahead of its time. Great for one handed bullseye target shooting. Super ergonomic and sleek. Does not do well with two handed shooting / two handed grip.

Impossible to find holsters, mags, spare parts, etc.

Now that is beautiful.

Interesting replies everywhere across the board, I’m looking at pistols posted here that I’ve never seen or heard about. Really enjoying the different viewpoints. Keep them coming!
