Prize for pics of...Ugly handguns that you would...

[Wheelgunner840]

gunsmith11 and LuddhaBuddha, you are it. Be sure your e-mail addresses are in your profiles. We will be chatting sometime over the weekend. We need to pick out three (maybe more if these eye sores keep showing up!) of the ugliest entries by Monday so we can start the poll.

Thanks for volunteering. Some pretty ugly stuff to pick from. We have our work cut out for us!

This gun must have been designed in an ugly building, on an ugly day, by ugly people, with ugly attitudes, etc....

It was bought for $10 by my dad sometime in the 50's from a pawnbroker that he did some work for. He recently gave it to me. The lock-up is too loose to be shot safely but, it was a gift.

This one has her own special beauty

 

[george minze]

What is that? It sure looks old but well cared for.....AND UGLY

 

[gunsmith11]

This is going to be interesting,, to judge, some really ugly crap some of you have. Almost makes me want to start a new collection

Thanks for helping out gunsmith11! I already have several that I think are contenders. I will e-mail luddaBuddah and yourself with some of my suggestions. Take a look through the thread, and let me know what you guys think. The folks that own ugly handguns have until Sunday to get their entries in, so I will probably email you guys over the weekend.

Thanks again for the help.

Now, what to give as a prize? Hmmmmm.

George,

That is a 1907 Roth Steyr, and is one of the most beautiful guns in the world. If you ever get to handle one, you'll see what I mean.

Dave

Pilgrim;

Have you ever fired your Warner Infallible?

 

[MKT]

This is probably the ugliest I have, not counting the C word models, but it is modeled after one of them,

in .38 Super.

The judges have been contacted by e-mail, and we will have a poll posted where the members will have the final vote as to who wins the "Ugliest Handgun Award"

Good luck to all entrants. Be advised that you have until midnight tonight to make any last minute entries. Thanks to all who have participated thus far.

It's a Belgian-made Velodog revolver, probably from the teens or twenties. Used by bicyclists for protection from biting dogs.

How about a pair of uglienes?

 

[Wheelgunner840]

Qball,
Thanks for posting. Unfortunately, you did not beat the deadline for entries which was midnight on the 15th. Fortunately, at least in my opinion, those are far from ugly! I actually seek out guns that look just like those!

I have conferred with the other judges, and will have the herd narrowed down, so the membership will be able to vote via a poll. It will be up at some point today.

Thanks to all who have participated with pics and comments.
