The ugliest pistol category

This one leans sharply towards ugly.

I can't believe that we got thru 3 pages of posts and no one mentioned the English top break Webley .455. IMHO, that is one homely revolver. ........ Big Cholla
 
You mean this one? No I donot agree. They are fine well made revolvers and typical British.

In the modern category, there are a great many "new" contenders. As pointed out, the Rhino is pretty ugly, the Glocks and just about any plastic pistol and, in my opinion, right near the top lies the Desert Eagle and the Judge. :p
 
My ugly Rhino is a nail-driver. Hard to believe it is Italian. The land of generally beautiful machinery (ie: Ducati, Ferrari, Antonio Carrera, Perazzi, Sara Varone).
 
Well, it's been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it's only skin deep. Ugly can go clear to the bone.

Glocks have absolutely no aesthetic appeal to someone like me compared to fine blued steel and wood, but instead of ugly I simply find them utilitarian. Like some of the girls I dated in the past; not ugly, certainly not pretty, but very adequate to the task at hand. The pretty ones have to be handled way too delicately most of the time. ;)

Now those Rhinos on the other hand . . . . :eek:
 
I was reluctant to post a picture of my little EIG, 4-shot .22 as I didn't want to offend it, but hey, we're among friends! Truth be told, the darn little thing is really fun to shoot and I wouldn't mind finding a few more of 'em.

Hi-Points by far. That weird plastic piece on the bottom of the magazine make their pistols look like a cordless power drill.
 
I stand corrected...

BTW, if you've already eaten your breakfast this morning and feeling strong... search "LA SANTISIMA" on GunBroker. :eek:

Now that would match Wyatt Burp's whiskey decanter perfectly:D
 
I think these two are in the running...

The Japanese Nambu from WWII...
