Ugliest Revolver

[rio nueces]

Well, we all gotta come down out of the trees sometime
I like Nagants. Rugged. Handle well for me, the grip is superb. I've actually done well with mine in DA.
All steel and wood.
I do think they are attractive.
No gal's perfect though. That darn cartridge...

 

[InkEd]

I am surprised people don't care for the look of the original Redhawk. I think it has a rugged handsome aesthetic. Kind of like an old pick-up truck.

 

[BCRider]

Well, that's a tough one. Let's face it, beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. And to a large extent we can be conditioned to shape what we find is both beautiful and what is ugly.

As someone that likes designing things there's a few options that stand out as "ugly".

Having said this there's some things that transcend any standards that can be shaped. To see some guns that make you shake your head because they are so far out of touch with any sort of sound judgement just google for "20 round revolver". You'll be treated to some crazy guns that could only have been envisioned during an opium or laudinum crazed stupor by their designers. These things transcend the definition of simply "ugly".

The webley could be on the top 10 of the most beautiful revolvers ever manufactured.
I don't understand why it is in this poll.
Also its history would excuse its ugliness (if it had one).

 

[Panzercat]

Nagant.
It just looks like somebody welded the thing together on a budget. Which they did.

I actually like the Rhino.

 

[Critical J]

Yea, either that disgusting Chiapa-techno-Rhino or any of those mad scientist guns from the general store in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"

...maybe the new lever-action Circuit Judge

 

[RugerMcMarlin]

You'll probably be on me like a cat on a junebug

But that plastic Ruger snub takes it for me.

I remember a Dardick auto, if they made a revolver I must have blocked it out.





The S&W was called it the 10 because it was "THE PERFECT TEN"

 

[gordy]

By far the Ruger LCR has to the ugliest revolver out there. IMHO.

 

[1zztop1]

Bernie is correct, the Dardick is the Ugliest Pistol ever !

 

[Bernie Lomax]

I remember a Dardick auto, if they made a revolver I must have blocked it out.

We're probably thinking of the same gun. The Dardick could be called a revolver or an auto, depending on how you look at it. It incorporated design features of both. There was a rotating cylinder with several chambers that were replenished automatically from a box magazine as the cylinder rotated.

 

[RugerMcMarlin]

yup, triangular little rocket bullet thingys.





inked more Redhawks for us!

 

[Walking Dead]

Rhino.

 

[Boothdt]

+1 to the Ruger Super Redhawk full size. Hideous guns.

 

[dave284]

ever seen a mauser zig zag?

 

[RugerMcMarlin]

Thought the ZigZag was a Webley. Foosbury somethin no , that was the zipzap.

 

[Bernie Lomax]

+1 to the Ruger Super Redhawk full size. Hideous guns.

Super Redhawks are ugly as sin, but I've always thought that the regular Redhawks were very handsome guns.

Write-in candidate:



^^^^^ THIS! ^^^^^

Enfield No.2 MkI .380
My eyes!!! My eyes!!! Noooooooooooo!!!

 

[Got_Lead?]

I voted for the Chippia Rhino, that is one piece of modern art.

However, here's my little wall flower, a 1880 Rast Gasser in 8mm cal. She's really not ugly, just a bit different than most American designs. It is double action, which can be cocked and fired single action too.




8 shot cylinder, however, no conventional bolt that keeps the cylinder from turning when the hammer is down, it locks when the hammer is back only.



No star ejector on this one, you poke em out one at a time!



Watch out for that pinch point when you let the trigger spring back to the ready after a shot. She will bite!!

 

[coondogger]

In my opinion, the Ruger LCR is as ugly as homemade sin.

 

[wild willy]

My vote goes to the super Redhawk. Have regular Redhawk,GP100,and Security Six think they are good lookin will never own a super Redhawk

 

[MCgunner]

Now you got me humming the theme song from Sanford and Sons. I don't mind the Redhawk. The Super Redhawk isn't as nice, though, but still not on my fugly list.

 

[Fat Boy]

I think the Nagant is rather attractive in its own way- but then a part of beauty in some folks thinking is ruggedness, and I think the Nagant sort of typifies ruggedness..just sayin...

LOFL! Submitted for your approval:

THE ORIGINAL REDHAWK RULZ! LONG LIVE THE 1970s!

 

[RugerMcMarlin]

Is LCR what Ruger calls that nasty lil plastic snub? Cause thats the one I meant.

 

[Tomcat47]

S&W model 10.

Blaspemy!

I was actually Going to state the RhinHO! However I admit I kinda like the 6" Version.... (but the snub is butt ugly)

But that Enfield No.2 MK1 takes the cake!

And I dont much like any of the polymer revolvers!
