You know, i had managed to block the taurus curve from my mind. When i saw the picture it brought its memory back. it isnt just its looks though, the feels are sad too. It makes the hi-point look so sleek and handsome . I wonder why they didnt make lefty curves too, i would imagine the bend would be terrible if it were to contour away from your body.

Anything that isn’t wood and metal I stick in the ugly category.

 

[Chevelle SS]

Springfield XD

 

[GunnyUSMC]

Any Glock. HA I said it first. And you all know you were thinking it too.

 

[GunnyUSMC]

The Type 95

And then there is this. A SKS in 45 ACP.

 

[mrmike7189]

I kinda like the 45 acp SKS....it reminds me of my Ruger PC Carbine!

 

[jmorris]

Right now it’s this one.

 

[Deus Machina]

At least when they make a pretty one, it is memorable:

Occasional oddness aside, yes indeed.

But those Webleys were ugly:

Yes, it always makes me thing...

Aww...whenever I see a Webley...all I see isView attachment 824103 View attachment 824104

That exact thing. Bersaguy beat me to it.

Ok, my serious answers:

Honestly I've always thought the AK47 and all it's variants are pretty nasty looking. There's beauty in their functionality though.
Hi Points are all ugly as sin..
Sorry, Glocks just do nothing for me.

Oddjobs post is fairly profound.

OK I just gotta say to me the NEW Hi Point Carbine out ugly the old ones.....a feat I thought not possible.

...and obviously some folks have never dated a 350 to 400 pound girl.....

Forgot about the type 94...

The T94 is close, but I think the FEG M1901 tops it......

 

[Deus Machina]

Oh yeah, the Nambus rank right up there.
I'm not one that considers the AK ugly, on purely functional reasons. There's nothing on it that doesn't serve a purpose in an extremely simple fashion. Ugly in aesthetics, beautiful in engineering. Brutally utilitarian.

I like that SKS for it just being weird to my eye. It's still less homely than a HiPoint.

 

[entropy]

Hi-points of all flavors, of course. Wouldn't stop me from buying one.
Surprisingly, most French guns.
Most English guns, for that matter, too.

Yeah those Purdey SxS's and H&H Big Game guns are so blocky.....
The Webley semi auto pistol, or even more so, semi auto revolver though...like a 50 year old Victorian Cheapside hooker.
Most of the Volksturm Rifles, definitely below usual Teutonic standards.....of course the Block is Teutonic in origin also....maybe Gaston was going for a Bauhaus vibe.
The Clerke First Model has yet to be mentioned.

That sure is the complete opposite of a snag free gun.

 

[Zaydok Allen]

Brutally utilitarian.

That's a great description, and I find it fitting of the AK.

 

[Sovblocgunfan]

That sure is the complete opposite of a snag free gun.

The design and internals are even worse than the visible appearance.

 

[Odd Job]

I think the Shevchenko is the ugliest so far.

 

[Deus Machina]

Yeah those Purdey SxS's and H&H Big Game guns are so blocky.....

Well, I did say most. Those can sometimes be a little distinctly English, but they're very nicely done.
From a manufacturing standpoint, most of Britain's guns would be more along the lines of Webleys, L85s, Stens, Brens, and Lee-Enfields. And while the latter two or three may have an elegance to them, I wouldn't list them among their beauty queens.
Those just are usually--especially the Lee-Enfield--crafted well enough or plainly practical enough to not be awful.

Can't have an ugly gun thread without the Cat 9

I dunno, that one's got some charm. Like a spunky little stray dog that you kinda take an instant liking to.

 

[MosinT53Hunter]

How about this homely little Apache?

Id like to see that with a barrel and recoil assembly fitted, and colored up....It MIGHT not be disgusting if done right....but as of right now that wins the brown bag contest, far as im concerned.
