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. |

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.
I've always wanted one. May buy one now that I cN dump stupid money on silly cool things |

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. |

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. |

Quoted: 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 https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-k0rs13/images/stencil/500x659/products/434/3615/SW11537_3_HR__75812.1619630162.jpg?c=2 View Quote 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. |

Quoted: I always thought the Vector pistol from South Africa was very unique. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/Vektor_CP1_%2825355876700%29.jpg Streamlined (melted as the carry people call it) and ergonomic to fit the hand. View Quote I remember seeing those in the gun mags and wanting one. Does it have a slide lock? |

Prettiest one I owned 20140912_082849 by Slick_Rick77, on Flickr 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. |

One of the better looking modern pistols
20160428_085204 by Slick_Rick77, on Flickr The CZ75 in its original short frame rail style is a stunning looking pistol |

Quoted: Ruger 22 pistols in the target and competition styles have always looked good to me. https://durys.s3.amazonaws.com/29994/img_7046.jpg https://durys.s3.amazonaws.com/30324/img_4432.jpg These are cool in a space gun kinda way. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fd/a3/21/fda3219d5dcba3993b9e716f47132034.jpg View Quote 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. |

Quoted: 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... https://i.imgur.com/hzRp7Y4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Y6vXBpf.jpg https://i.imgur.com/F1fUqWf.jpg View Quote winning |

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! |
