Which Firearm do you think has the most elegant lines

[Vulcan Bob]

My three top hand gun's.

Colt 1861 Navy

Mauser HSc

S&W M-39

 

[Freischütz]

The P.08 with a 4 or 6 inch barrel.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

Lotsa nice guns discussed above! I think the prettiest handgun ever is the SIG P232:

I think it is the epitome of elegance. The Colt Navy and even the Colt Model P have the fabulous and timeless look of the Old West but in terms of sleek design and elegance the only guns close to the SIG P232 are the Mauser HSc and, wait for it.....the Remington R51, which takes the P232 into the Space Age for elegance.

I happen to think that the Browning HP is somewhat more elegant than the M1911 but I think that Star did a better job with their Government .380-style pistol.

In terms of rifles, and there are LOTS of good looking rifles, the most elegant of all have to be the African double rifles like these from Butch Searcy:

Some very nice "elegant" guns shown. Think I will suggest the Remington 1100 Trap models with their nice lines and beautiful figured wood.

I like this Uberti OWD .38 Special with 3'' barrel.

 

[Camster]

In a long gun it's difficult to choose. In a hand gun, it's an easy choice for me

Even better after you put some nice Spegels on them.

 

[fiasconva]

I'd have to say that the old school double barrel shotguns like the LC Smith, Fox Sterlingworth, and Parker would have to be at the top of my list. Very classy and elegant.

S&W's old Safety Hammerless models.

 

[6518John]

More Westley Richards elegance. If i only had a spare 50- 100K

I would have a hard time strapping them in the gun rack of the ATV and letting them get splashed with mud and rain. Or wading through the brush or the crick with them.

But I guess if you are hunting with guns like that you let your gun-bearer or man-servant do the wading.

 

[Kurusu]

The P.08 with a 4 or 6 inch barrel.

There are no P.08s with a 6 inch barrel.

Either 4 or 8(artillery).

The 6 inch Navy is not a P.08 it's a P.04.

1860 colt army

My first thought was the Browning Hi-Power, with the 1911 a close second ("retro" or "classic" configuration, though a tastefully done modern version would also fit).

I've never shot one, but the Colt SAA with a 4-3/4" barrel would fit, too.

I think the original Beretta 92FS also has pleasing, elegant lines, but I'm a little biased.

I'm not really a long gun guy, so I don't really have an opinion there. Well, I do like the looks of the M1 Garand.

 

[Mr.Harry]

I agree with the OP’s opinion of the savage 99. But it’s very subjective. I think as many people find them ‘weird’ or off-putting in appearance (especially for a lever) as those who find them “elegant”.

Blame it on Texas...

[getoff]

sorry to derail this honorable thread, but an 870 with 20" bbl, rifle sights on it, and magpul furniture is the most beautiful and functional firearm ever made to me...

Specter Gear Remington 870 With Magpul SGA Stock SOP 3 Point Tactical Sling

 

[KarmannGhia]

Colt 1903 hammerless and a close second, Walter PPK (don't have either, yet)

 

[Bullseye 2620]

Transitional Model 27-2, 6-1/2 inch barrel, pinned blue Patridge front sight, in nickel and shown with my first set of Grashorns:

 

[CH4]

Wow, there’re sooo many that come to mind, but since this is primarily a Smith revolver site, I’ll go with the 2.5” 66/19 or 3.5” 27, which I don’t have...yet.

Those 2-1/2 inch Model 66 NDs do look better in pairs, don't they?
