Ken, you posted a picture of a loaded gun! Someone might shoot their eye out!
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

I've got the itch, but don't got the scratch.
I've kind of been lurking in the background of this thread and I got to tell you, none of the guns I've seen thus far are really that ugly.
Unique maybe; but not really ugly. Interesting maybe; but not really ugly. Potentially more dangerous to the shooter than the shootie maybe; but not really ugly.
Is there a prize for the winner of this "Ugliest Gun Contest?"
If this thread were more along the lines of The Ugliest Gun Owner, I might have a chance of winning this darn thing.

Well, so far, no one has offered up a prize, so the prize is just brag rights.

Any of these new guns with the faux (chemical) case hardened finish gets my vote.
Ok, no more pics. I'm setting up the vote.
