The typical blued 3.5" Registered Magnum with magnas (no adaptor).
1. Luger carbine (Mauser C-96 carbine is the ugliest)
2. Browning Medalist
3. Walther FP free pistol
4. MAC-10 (Ugly and a piece of garbage, but like a Hummer, it gets its message across)
5. Have to agree, anything RKmesa likes

5. Have to agree, anything RKmesa likes
1. Colt SAA (The older the better)
2. Any S&W revolver in the P&R 3T configuration (They are all beautiful!)
3. Colt 1911 (Original pre-A1 version, although I'll never part with my brt. Stainless GCNM)
4. 6" Colt Python from the 70s
5. C.O.P. 4 shot Derringer
I know it says handguns, but I believe these two rifles to be more beautiful than a couple of my picks above.
Winchester 1873
U.S. Rifle cal. .30 M1 Garand.
And I believe the Webley mentioned above should be on the "Most Ugly List" right behind the Nagant. My opinion, and yes, I have three of them.

2. S&W Registered Magnum and the Model 27
3. S&W Model 29
4. S&W Model 66
5. CZ 75 (or Browning Hi-Power)

If I pick 5 realistic beautiful handguns, I’d have to go with:
1. Vintage Royal Blue Colt Python
2. Nickel S&W Model 27-2 w/ 3 1/2” Barrel
3. Blued/Case Colored Standard Manufacturing SAA With Ivory
4. Blued S&W Pre-29
5. Luger with Straw Colored Small Parts
