What is your most aesthetically pleasing revolver?
For me, it's the full underlug Smith. I tried to like pythons, but they are meh to me

I don't own any ugly revolvers. All six are handsome devils, but if I had to choose one over the rest, it would have to be my 66-3 snubby.

I kind of see them as the "practical Python" at least for today. One can find a really good 686 pre-lock for $600 these days if they hunt. Try and find a similar Python in the same condition for several times as much money... and really, what do you get over the 686? Not much, and what you do get does not matter for a fighting/combat revolver.
My nicest revolver is probably my M66:

Any one of these, although lately I’m liking the tapered barreled M&Ps a lot too.

I've always considered the classic and balanced looks a Combat Masterpiece to be especially attractive.

As far as the guns I own, this is the best looking:
But I don't think you can beat a vintage '89 S&W 627 to gander at all day long.

Aesthetically that I own...66-1, 64 with tapered barrel, 629-4 mountain gun. That I don't own...3.5" 27 and 67/14. I'm not a real fan of underlug barrels although I own several. tapered barrels just look nice on the 4" Smiths.

I think its this one. A Model 65-5 Lady Smith. Don't care for the Lady Smith script; however, it has everything else I like. Stainless steel, satin finish, three inch barrel, shrouded ejector and fixed sights.

That I have? 3.5” 27-2. That Smith made? To me it’s a p&r 4” .44 Magnum (pre through 29-2).

While I've got about one of everything, this one is more of a work of art than all the others. An unfired 1905/1902 Hand Ejector in 38 Special shipped in 1917 with the scarce Round Butt. A few blemishes here and there. Also the rare upside-down variation.

S&W Mod. 27-2 3.5"
This is what I consider my most aesthetically pleasing Revolver. The S&W Mod. 27, 3.5", would also be my first place choice, out of all the revolvers offered, by all of the many revolver makers, in the last century. Please excuse my deplorable photography skills.

Not to add insult to injury.  But I make it a very close second.

I have a few. These are some of my faves:
Two of these marked to "F" Company.
Comes in this box:
and with a large "I'm Your Huckleberry" sticker.
I have one of these with custom grips. It
s a Plinkerton 10/22 and has a longer barrel than the one shown. I threw away the plastic grips it originally came with.
Then I have another . SAA 1873 .45-but with only a 5 & 1/2 in barrel. All have blued or blacked finish and all have or will sooner or later have custom grips made of Maple.
I bought and gave one of the Custer .45s to my BiL for Christmas.

Baby Chiefs snubby with a smooth ramp front sight.
This combination makes the aesthetic most agreeable in my eyes:
- full cylinder cavity
- stumpy grip handle
- tiny trigger guard
- original flat latch

I must admit I am also partial the the Smith M-19 in 4 inch. The 66 I also do like but not a real fan of SS guns. I have an ealy 66 in the box with SS sights front and rear. Debating either selling it or the 686 I have. Another that I do really like is my not so pristine 1950 Target in 45 Colt. Not pretty but it do shoot ok.

Without a doubt, the
Combat Masterpiece/15 with 4-inch barrel
followed closely by the
Model 14 with 6-inch barrel.
Soon as the gun has a partial or full length
underlug, it starts looking clunky.
And without a doubt, the clunkiest of the breed
is (sorry fellas) the 3.5-inch Model 27.
Doesn't mean I don't or can't like the "clunkers"
but they are not as pleasing to the eye.
P.S.: I've not only stayed at a Holiday Inn but
I've also had a few art appreciation classes.

Let me start by saying I love S&W and Colt revolvers. They both make beautiful guns. If I owned a 3.5" Model 27, I'd surely be posting a photo of it. But, this one has just done it for me since I was twelve years old:

Only have 2 revolvers. One's a Monson built 6" 14-2, and the other is a 6 1/2" 357 Blackhawk. Hard to pick one over the other.

I think this N-frame nickel-plated 27-2 is about perfect.
This 66-1 belonged to an OKC LEO and is also wonderfully proportioned.
And this 586 always gets a lot of praise.

I wish this was mine , but it isn’t.
I find the unfluted cylinder Smith’s to be very esthetically pleasing.

One hundred per cent agreement on the standard tapered barrels.
I not only like the looks, I prefer the balance of a four-inch standard barrel. I'd love to have a 64 like yours, especially since I sold my four-inch10-5 to a friend who needed a house gun.
The best-looking revolver I've had (note past tense--gave it to my son) was a 1970 15-3, bought unfired from an estate. Handsomest automatic was (past tense again) a pristine pre-B CZ75. It was a time of financial anemia...
