What is the most beautiful handgun ever made?

[natdscott]

As a handgun? Seems like it would be a little unwieldy.

I said what I said.

Someday she is going to get fire blued accents and elk grips.

Thats a beautyful pistol, I would be tempted to send it to Doug Turnbull for color case hardening.

If we're speaking of OEM (non-custom) handguns, I always thought the S&W39-2 and the BHP were handsome pieces.

For revolvers it's the 4" S&W Model 19. IMO it's perfectly proportional and the archetype of how a revolver is supposed to look.

For a semi-auto my vote is split between the Beretta 92SB and a nice blued 1911.

This guy’s got it right!

 

[CB1911]

92FSTech and Basher beat me to it. The 4" blued S&W 19. Beautiful, classy, elegant, timeless.
Now for a pistol...the S&W 41.
The same reasons.

For an auto it’s the Colt Commander. Blue steel and Sambar stag grips. Honorable mention goes to the P08 Luger.

The prettiest revolver in my eyes is a Colt Single Action Army with a color case hardened frame, blue barrel and cylinder with ivory stocks. A very close runner up is the S&W N-frame, blued with a 3.5”, 4” or 5” barrel.

Colt single action or a Browning Hi Power

Gorgeous gunporn!

My favorites come in silver...

I think the Colt 1860 Army is the prettiest revolver.

I agree that even though she has been around a long time, the 1860 Colt Army is a classic beauty.

Just... thank you for being that guy.

 

[CallSign Snafu]

Nicest looking gun I have ever known.

 

[Merk]

Hard to argue with a classic 1911. I mean it's the classic American pistol after all

 

[Rong]

This is why I need another safe, too many beautiful guns. John Moses Browning made beautiful guns. Smith revolvers. I find the p210 very pleasing to look at.

Probably been stated already but, the most beautiful handgun is the one that you carried into a gunfight and then walked home with…..

 

[MindfulMan]

For me, it has to be something that I own ...... why be a dreamer ?
Over 20 years ago, I purchased this from Plainfield Guns, and was told that it was the first 4" model that had come into central Indiana. (yes, I believed the owner)

It's still beautiful to me !

I like this one, but I am biased
