Now that we have all declared the Nambu the "ugliest" gun ever made.

Whats the "coolest"gun that you have ever seen?

God, I hold that he doesnt get mad at me. But I just thought that his were very Cool.;)
 
When I was in college a local gunshop had an L.A.R. Grizzly 45WIN MAG in hard chrome with a 6.5" barrel. I still wish I could have found $1200.00 for it. It was very cool. Wish they still made them.:(
 
Savage 1907

This gun Savage model 1907 pistol really appeals to me both in form and function. Mine dates from 1909, and is the coolest gun in my collection.

Thirty-two auto, double stack 10 round magazine, semi-locked breech design, beautiful art deco lines.

All of us have different definitions of cool, to be sure . . .

I wouldn't call it "pretty", but it is certainly "Cool":

I'm also a big Makarov fan:

The big (9 X 44) + (1 X 20 gauge) revolvers that the Confederates used in the Civil War. The name escapes me. Matet?
 
Whites Truck Stop on I-81 between Roanoke and Winchester has an old pepper box "revolver". Actually, they have a few pepperboxes. But the one I am thinking about was freakin huge! The cylinders look big enough to swallow an entire 3.5" 12 guage super mag. I think there's about 6 of them (could've been more). The stag horn grip is huge (looked to be about 2" in diameter at the base) and it seems like the whole thing was about 10"-12" long. It looked something like this, but was much much bigger and prettier.

It looked like something straight out of a pirate movie. I'd hate to even thing about how much it would cost. Next time I'm up there, I'll try to take a picture of it for you guys. White's also has one of the biggest Luger Collections that is open to the public on the East Coast. Snail Magazines, orginal luger carbines, you name it, they got it (except for a.45 that is).

My EDC carry Springer Pro.

There's a certain cachet attached to a scuffed-up gun with its hammer full of lint... ;)
 
44 Automag!


And I own a Pasadena version, NIB, never fired, original shipping box and original paperwork. It is a dream to handle, but I have not a clue what it is like to fire it.
 
I once saw a six-inch Colt Python that was completely covered with extremely fine engraving and gold wire and foil work, and fitted with ivory stocks. It was the prettiest gun I've ever seen–and miles beyond my means.
 
Pasadena Auto Mag.. always wanted one, never could afford one. Need that big lotto check ;).

And you know what, I never thought of a Savage 32 as Deco, but that is spot-on, the streamlining details are very 'modern', kinda Buck Rogers.

Ok this was so cool I went out and built my own. Found at a gun show: factory custom Colt 38 super withs a Seecamp DA trigger. It was a 50's vintage pistol, and it was a steal at $650. Of course, I didn't have $650. Luckily I found an ODI/Viking frame kit at gun parts. $200 or so, bought it. Got a complete Colt 1991 upper, barrel, bushing, springs, everything. $200. from Hoplite I think. Wilson beavertail & extended safety, screws, springs etc. $150, Assembly $200, Action job $100. You do the math. What I got was a tacti-cool franken Colt that somehow feels twice as wide, twice as heavy, and lord is that DA trigger pull a bear. I'm guessing I've got something like $900 or so in it, but like Johnny Cash I got it one piece at a time...

Even baby hyenas are pretty to their momma...

I think for me it was a brand new Sig 210, not sure which model, that the shop I frequent had in. It was absolute perfection and priced over 2 grand somewhere. Most practical? Probably not. Coolest? Oh yeah!
