What's the ugliest gun you own or owned? And why do I want one?

[CamoDeafie]

The Rhino is a nice wheel gun, fun to shoot. The snub versions are indeed ugly, but I like the space blaster look of the 4" and up. I have a 5" in .40 with moon clips and it is a cool item.

Togusa, that you?

Any Glock. They aren't pretty at all. They work though.

I think those Chiappa's look pretty cool…I normally lean traditional but those are legit scifi movie pistols.

Ugliest? Probably the Mac. It is so lacking æstheticly, it kind of has its own charm though.

If it had a rifle length barrel it could double as a crutch .......

The CZ 38 has often been described as ugly, so I guess that'd be the ugliest one I have… but I for one appreciate its art-deco-era retro-futuristic aesthetic.

It won't win any beauty contest but it's handy from time to time .

I once owned a Norinco 1911 that was a garage built "race gun", with off-white "stainless" parts on it and a compensator and Hogue overmold grips. And it had rust staining on the slide. Hands-down the worst gun, and ugliest gun, I've ever had. It went bang every time though.

I sold it at a loss in the mid-2000s at the Portland Gun Show for parts. I don't miss it. Lesson learned in my younger years of owning guns: don't be compulsive.

Iconic weapon. Not ugly, just a brick of pew pew. 80's sillyness:

MACs are indeed ugly guns, fun to mess around with, but homely as a burnt corn muffin.

The Borchardt is rather hideous:

The Borchardt gets a hard pass because it was the first, they didn't know what semi automatic pistols should look like, and it eveolved into the Luger which is arguably one of the prettiest guns ever made.

 

[CamoDeafie]

Use a Borchardt to get borscht?

I dunno, my MAC is kinda neat—looking.

HS-10B

As monstrously conceived and executed that thing was, it kind of needs to be redone in the 21st century. Think a super short scattergun, semi-auto, integrally suppressed, with high visibility sights, and a good light.

Currently, I only possess homely firearms...aesthetically challenged might be the proper term for the ammo-sensitive guns.

Probably the ugliest that I have ever owned, would be a Soviet SKS that I received in trade. Similar to the one shown below sourced from wiki...

The face only a mother could love lol

I was thinking same thing. A Glock is indeed the ugliest gun I've owned. When I was a young poor I owned a Jennings J-22. It wasn't ugly per se, but the poor reliability made it ugly!

Dang Ole j-22. Loudest. 22 I've ever fired

I've won quite a few ugly gun contests with this beauty, it may be ugly but it's super accurate. And yes, it's a take down.

I wouldn't call that one ugly, just weird. There are more weird .22 target guns than any other caliber. 100s of different ones. Fe

In the "weird .22 target pistol" vein, one of my wife's pistols:


Graceful, ugly, or just odd? You be the judge.
