What is your ugliest gun??

[policerevolvercollector]

What is favorite “ugly duckling “?
It should be a functional gun which you like and shoot. My definition of "ugly" refers to condition.

4 or 5 years ago,I bought this FN Hipower from 1985 or so out of a batch that were imported after service in Israel. I asked the seller for least expensive one he had and he dug this one out and we settled on $225 if I remember correctly. It looks rough to say the least! The pics don't do it justice. It looks like it may have been dragged down a paved road behind a truck and them Parkerized....maybe more than once! But, it shoots like a dream and will feed any type of ammo I’ve tried. The accuracy is exceptional.

What is yours??

The finish on my .38/44 Heavy Duty would put a "**** under your nose" look on most faces here, but it's one of my favorites, bought for a fair price . . .

(edit: added pics and yes, I know it's loaded (with vintage Remington 158 grain round nose lead . . . ))

Mine has to be this Sig. I've cleaned it up some since this photo, but still on the rough side. But it cranks out the ammo with no problems

A Glock 19, it looks like every other Glock too. They do their job well but geezer, they are ugly. Next would be the Springfield M1A black synthetic stocked rifle, I really should buy a wood stock for it but, like the Glock, it works very well as is and I bought it to shoot, not to look at.

You mean like this? What happens when you carry an aluminum gun with a painted finish ALL THE TIME in Florida summer humidity - sometimes in a pocket, sometimes in your waistband.

Added - pic of other side, and then a 12,13-year-old pic of when it was new.

Here's mine. A Model 10-5 that appears to have been painted or something. The diamond Magna grips (don't number to the gun) have been worn down to almost no checkering and "refinished" over the dirt and crud. I added the BK adapter, but I later replaced them with a set of Pachmayr Presentations, and they made it look a little better.





Locks up and shoots just fine.

I guess it'd have to be this one:

Still shoots just fine, once I replaced the broken mainspring and cleaned the rust out of the inside.

Ok, it IS a K32, but it is my ugliest handgun.

Done. See original post . . .

This Colt Cobra, my usual carry. It ain't pretty but it's tight and pretty accurate. I wish it could talk.

As far as beat-up-but-functional, I'd say my Colt Shooting Master 357:



The majority of my other guns are in like-new cosmetic condition, but not this one. Lots of character and patina, and the barrel has been (expertly) shortened. Still shoots amazingly well.

not too bad for being carried for 30 years.

Yeah, that’s ugly....

Any of my Glocks...…..

My old Marlin model 60. Inherited from my father-in-law, where it served as his under seat truck gun for many years. From 1990-1996 served as my barn gun for varmints. However, it still shoots really well.

My Kel Tec P 11

It's old and doesn't have any appealing aesthetic points. It's put together with plastic pegs. It's got a broken firing pin as of a couple of weeks ago, but I use it a lot and will get it fixed and use it again. What I like about it is that it is small, cheap, and it does the job. Makes a great truck gun and is really easy to carry. .

My S&W Model 19-3. I suspect it was an LEO trade in. The backstrap was so rusted and pitted that there was no evidence of grooves, but after cleaning it looked like a stippled finish. More scratches, nicks, and rust spots/pits than you can count, but the insides were pristine and it shoots really well.
