Plastic That Ain't Ugly

You know, looking through this thread has reminded me that there is a pile of unmatched Generic "Tupperware" on the floor of the kitchen that needs sorting and tossing....

off line for a bit.

LCP ll she's a little dirty.

Remember that song from the early 60's, "If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife"?

One of the lines was "Yeah, she's ugly but she sure can cook". Pretty is as pretty does, my Glock 26 works every time and that's beautiful to me.

Great song - Great analogy.
Spot on.
Describes my Beretta PX4 Storm - UGG-LEE , but great trigger and shooter.

Guess I'm an oddball but I've never seen polymer pistols in general as being ugly. A few are (eg, Hi Point), but that's sort of an exception (and if they ever get it to market even the new Hi Points don't look THAT bad).

IIRC, this is a copy of the Walther P99.


This is a Walther PPQ.

I am very fond of the looks of my XDS .45. 3.3 inch barrel

Not my favorite plastic pistol, but I have a couple of the full-size M&P 2.0s, and I find them oddly cool-looking .

Everything is relative, and depends on your point of view.

To some people, this is going to be the only polymer pistol they acknowledge isn’t ugly:

(And yes, that’s a polymer frame gun)

For other people, a Hi-Point is not ugly.

Personally, I think the majority of polymer pistols are not ugly. There are some exceptions (Hi-point being a big one for me) but generally speaking polymer pistols look as good as equivalent price non-poly pistols. You need to get into the high end (at least $1000) pistols before they really start to differentiate themselves.

The funny part, to me, is that some of the ugliest poly pistols are the most expensive. People paying $1500 or whatever for a Zev obviously like how it looks or they wouldn’t buy it, but it’s not to my tastes.

Those Kahrs look nicer than glocks. If only they made double stackers. Hey Magnum Research, you listening??

Plastic ain't ugly. Some polymer autos are downright nice lookin' but Glocks, Glocks are ugly as sin.

Dang! Never seen so many ugly guns!

Some of us Kahr guys have been asking Justin Moon for exactly that.

FIFY---->>>>>

I like this. Not as blingy as the gold. Hope the picture thing works. Also has Talon grip tape.

And this with Talon grips and TLR 6.

So my question is do you have a polymer framed pistol that you think isn't repulsive looking. Maybe you even think it looks kind of nice.

I like the look of tight groups on targets best and I have a few polymer framed pistols that work fine when I do my part
