What is the most beautiful handgun ever made?

[erasure]

It has to be the Mauser C96 and all its spinoffs. Like this Astra MM34.

Select fire switch behind the trigger; the one on the grip is for an adjustable ROF retarder.

This checks all the boxes for me but two; I don’t own it so it’s in that “dreamer” stage MM mentioned above, and if I did I’d be afraid to carry and shoot it. But other than that….

CZ 75 Order of the White Lion.

Here’s a better pic

There are lots of pretty handguns out there, but these are two of my favorites...

Ruger GP100 4", fixed-sight, full under-lug, stamped .357 Magnum...

Ruger SR1911 Commander in .45 acp with a bob-tailed grip...a beautiful job thanks to AllenM

 

[IndyLongColt]

Never owned one but always loved the look of the Hawgs.....

Beauty and the Beast. Who said they love a little bling?

The Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum

This one isn't too bad.

Standard Manufacturing makes some nice looking firearms.

My favorites:
Beretta 92FS Inox
S&W Model 29
Colt 1911 Gold Cup National Match

Another stainless fan here. For semi-autos, IMHO the DW Specialist is gorgeous, I've lusted after this model for many years.


For revolvers, I think stainless K-frames are beautiful.


Perhaps more in the spirit of this thread, for top-tier gorgeous revolvers (and lottery jackpot $$), Korth makes absolutely stunning pieces of art. I like their Mongoose in stainless. Right up there with a motorcycle, the day I get one will be the same day my wife makes me get my own apartment.

I’m partial to the Dan Wesson line. Familiar line’s, no billboards on the slide.

44-40, the cowboys choice.
45 Colt, the soldiers choice.
22 lr, the one I can shoot.

 

[Bluedragon]

Prettiest gun I am torn between is the Luger P08 or a blued FN Browning Hi Power with factory redback grips.

 

[boatswainsmate]

It's hard choice between these two for me.

Automags were great looking pistols in their day, I was glad to see another company start making them again.

Lots of nice looking firearms in this thread. My Browning .380 Black Medallion is the prettiest thing I own.
