...never take to a barbecue!

Another thread, on one of the sub-forums here, prompted me to start what could be a fun(ny) thread. I am sure we all have a gun or two that is just fine as a working gun, but looks like a barrel full of smashed a-holes!

I'd bet that there are many folks here who have a gun or two that's been dropped on the gravel, has the nickel peeling off it, is nicked up, has splotchy blueing, mongrel type guns etc .

I'll tell ya what. The person that posts the ugliest gun (and I don't mean by design, we all know Glocks are ugly! ), I will send a prize.

Not sure what it will be yet, but it will be useful. Here are the rules:

- Post a picture of your ugliest HANDGUN gun here.(It must actually belong to you.)

- I will narrow it down to three contestants, using comments posted by you the forum members. I will than create a poll where all y'all can vote for the ugliest gun.

- That person will receive a gift from me that will have something to do with shooting. Not sure what yet. I will think on it.


So, show us a picture of your worst looking handgun. You know, the one you would NEVER take to the barbecue. Well, at least one you wouldn't carry openly!


Here's mine:
I had to think real hard, as every other gun I have is beautiful (at least to me)! Then I remembered that this "thing" was lurking in the back of the safe. It has "Gun Buy Back Program" written all over it.

A German made, aluminum alloy framed, .25ACP, POS that is not even a good working gun!

Is this a trick to find out who has ugly guns? I "may" have a couple of black plasticky ones but I would never post pics to prove it.

No trick. I just saw one on another thread that was ...well...let's just say it hurt ones eyes! I didn't want to insult the owner (some poked fun), so I started this thread instead. I am not necessarily looking for guns that were ugly from birth as much as those that have gained some "character" over the years.

rewster, I have seen some of your guns, and I must agree that none that I saw (that you brought to the range!) were ugly. You must have a real beater laying around somewhere!

You take a giant white rabbit with you to barbecues?

BTW, That pistola is beautiful. It's ruining this thread!

I wouldn't call it ugly. Unique with a charm of it's own?
You can see I think enough of it to have it mounted in a shadow box, so it ain't rightly ugly.

Sip's socks?

I was thinking more in line with brass, a "history of the gun" book, a holster, gun cleaning stuff, etc. but if Sip want's to donate a pair of socks, I reckon that would be a fitting prize for "ugliest gun"!

PS, I always like posting right after you. The little devil offsets the angel nicely!

It was a gift, don't ask. Well you can ask if you want, but who would want to?
