I like the looks of the Sig P220 and similar models.  What is you favorite?

The 220 and 226 are both great looking machines.  Actually, Id have to give my HS2000 a '9' on the aesthetics scale.  Think Glock19 with slanted slide serrations, slimmer grip, Sig-style (and ambidextrous) mag release, thumb rest, and front tac-rail, and you've got yourself a rugged, not to mention attractive, piece of work.  My winner though is the Desert Eagle - b/c it just screams "try me...please" [:D]

I think the coolest looking handgun is a Desert Eagle but I prefer a modern semi-tricked out 1911 style handguns like a Springfield TRP.

To me, nothing beats the classic look of a Royal Blue 6" Colt Python.

1911 style.

Edited to add the "RMA Patriot" which definitely qualifies as a pistol.

I like the 1911's,the Sigs, and glocks too. Generally I think the coolest looking is the one I'm buying at the moment.

Can I change my vote...to an Automag III/V.  I'd probably wet my pants looking down the barrel of that monster.

Depends on mood.

The 1911 is one of the best. I also like the S&W N frames. And the Peacmaker.

I'll second that.  Second pick would be the blued 4" Colt Diamondback in 38 Special. I have both and I'm trying to get a genuine ivory grip made for then.  Should look great when done.  Big and little brother.

My top two nominees for "best looking" pistol would have to be:

1. 1911A1
2. Walker Colt Revolver

Of course, I'm a 1911 guy, but the CZ was the logical evolution of J.M. Browning's designs.  Oh, if it was only in 45ACP!

What about the CZ 97B? CZ designed .45 ACP. But, not as pretty as the 1911 or USP.

Best looking..?

[b]1)[/b] I'd have to cast my vote for the new S&W that was featured on the cover of one of the gun rags a few months back. It's a .41 revolver with a greenish tint to the steel, creating an Olive Drab look to the metal, and a Hogue monogrip.

[b]2)[/b] "Jimmybcool's" Big Bore custom 1911 that was made with Damacus steel.


I would give the Damacus 1911 top billing, but I have a special fondness in my heart for wheelguns!

The best looking handgun, is the one I have in my hand, when a BG has decided to make an attempt at depriving me, life, liberty or property.

Most likely a Browning design (short recoil, tilting barrel, single action, semi-automatic design) or one of it's derivatives.

Type 94 Nambu.  Looks crappy but you can fire it by pressing the external sear.  What a great option for when you lose your trigger finger in a banzai charge.  Nahhhh.....

Original Borchardt?  Love that action extension that hits your wrist.  Nahhh....

Seriously, 5" Smith 629, 4" Smith 686.  Even better with custom wood grips.  Really any modern revolver with a full lug looks terrific except for the Taurus models with the angled front lug face.  Too 'Buck Rogers'.

By favorite looking handgun has been the same for the past fifteen years.  A Taurus PT101 with mirror finished chrome finish and nice, red, Brazillian Rosewood grips.  

Saw one fifteen years ago, but still haven't got one!  I don't buy guns for looks, most of the time. :D
