I know we all enjoy seeing pics of S&W semi's that are beautiful in their old age...but do you have an ugly one that you'd care to post a pic of? By "ugly" I mean a beater that still functions...scrapes, gouges, pitting, etc. There's a dealer on gb that occasionally has an "ugly gun special" or two. Yep...they're ugly!

Well I don't think you could get much worse then the people you mention. Although for the right price I would be tempted to buy one of them.

Not a S&W but these are likely the ugliest guns I own.

May be ugly, but every Hi-Point I've ever seen at the range is completely reliable and accurate. AND can be used as a CLUB !!

In my opinion, S&W never made a truly ugly handgun of any kind.
The all-time world record for designing an ugly firearm goes to Kijiro Nambu, who was an officer in the Japanese Army in 1934 when he designed the Type 94 pistol. It was not only ugly, but awkward, tactically unsound in its operation, and even downright dangerous. To this day, it has never been equaled for lack of grace and efficacy. It was a real stinker in every respect.

Next I suppose you will say pistolcraft was not part of his culture!
Thanks for the pic. I have never seen one of those before.

Yep; reliable and accurate.
With proper grip and technique, it twirls thru the air like a tomahawk when thrown...

It wasn't at all uncommon for jap officers to shoot themselves in the thigh while reholstering due to the exposed sear bar.

Anything made by Ruger should get at least an "honorable" mention.
look in a LGS Glock collection to find all the ugly guns you want

Now that's a ugly semi for sure.

You've obviously overlooked the skeletonized trigger??
As a future skeleton, I resent that !!!
