This thing looks like something Billy Mayfair would sell you to shoot vegetables with. And they feel just as cheep in the hand. And what is with that big square slicer button on the side?

Snowdog--You just made me cry! Here I was on THR looking at some interesting threads and I come across possibly the worst desecration of a 1911 I've ever seen. The sad thing is this had to be a very skilled individual that did this.
 
Ukrainian-made PSh-45

That may be a nice looking gun when they finish it :)

Yeah, ok... hi points are ugly... I know, I own two... but man, giving them a BAD paintjob does not help.... lol

Lipstick on a pig for sure!
 
Some of the ugly on the PSh-45 makes a little sense. It appears to have an integral bracket (ala the AK) for mounting optics, which is certainly no uglier than the rails common on Western pistols (no prettier either). There is a knurled cover on the muzzle which would indicate threading for suppressors, not pretty but a reasonable precaution to protect the threads.
What I don't understand is all the multitude of grooves all over it. That stuff is time consuming to machine and most of it doesn't look like it has a purpose.
It is not an attractive pistol, and I like Ukraine so much I married one of their women.
 
Any center fire Ruger auto.

Runner up would be any DA revolver made by Ruger.

Geez, how can ANYONE find the Luger ugly? Not only ugly, but the ugliest gun ever???? C'mon, you're just trying to stir things up, aren't you?
 
Is it a gun? Yes. Does someone own it? Yes Do they shoot it or has it been shot? Probably. With those three ideas in mind, are you supporting our right to keep and bear arms? Yes. Why then, would someone really give a hoot all about how your tactiblaster looks?
 
Personally I don't understand that statement. If they look similar in appearance then one cannot be beautiful and the other butt ugly. It sounds purely mental to me.

Both the P08 and Nambu were mass produced for troops.


No, a passing similar appearance does not make them the same. The P08 has intricate machining and a unique mechanism. The toggle is cool and when nicely finished the P08 is in my opinion a very nice weapon. The Nambu Looks similar but uses a totally different mechanism and is crudely made. I suspect you haven't had both in hand to see the difference between them. The shape isn't what makes it beautiful.

Well, I could say that about my P90 and P85, too.

The P85 ain't THAT bad :). My first handgun I ever bought was Ruger's other lil 9mm - the P95. I didn't realize it at the time - to me it was just a reliable 9mm from a good company at a good price (still is). After getting more guns and comparing though, I realized that my P95 is downright fugly. Not as bad as a Glock, but still pretty bad. On the other hand, I think the new SR9 is one of the best looking guns I've ever laid eyes on.
 
I actually like the looks of the Ruger P95 From a price/performance standpoint they are a great pistol.

I agree the SR9 is very attractive especially in two tone.
 
The Luger is beautiful, the Nambu is ugly.

As to them having a similar shape and one still being ugly while the other is rather attractive...

Just stand two women side by side. While having the same approximate shape, one can be beautiful while the other is ugly.

I think both the Luger and Nambu are ugly. This is all quality, accuracy, dependability, aside.
