All my pistols have to be gorgeous… unless they are given to me. Am I a rare pistol snob, or do normal people stick with purdy pistols?

I have a S&W revolver that I refer to as my prison gun, and not because it looks like it was carried by a guard!
It was inexpensive and it’s a sold performer, but is very rough on the outside.
The most important is it has to be effective in the role I have selected for it, and completely functional. Looks is a distant third.
NO!!!! My one ugly duckling is an early Smith and their first attempt at making a double action, chambered in 44-40 and with a 20lb trigger pull.
Life is too short to dance with ugly guns.
Can not really call it ugly BUT Guys at the range were all talking about the gun with the owner name on side. Not as bad as imagined. But bought a 4 in Coly Python for $250 that day.. Kinded about changing my name LOL GW
Life is too short not to embrace All guns.
Have bought some for movie props that weren't particularly pretty. Luckily, I didn't have to buy a working LeMat, non-firing replicas were okay...
I voted no, but I want to clarify that I will buy guns which are middling to attractive... they don't all have to be a Colt 1860 Army or S&W 686. But there is a threshold below which I will not go. If I actively hate looking at a gun, or anything else, it's not coming home with me.
I own a Hipoint C9 9mm pistol. Surely in the top 10 of the worlds ugliest guns.
Yet it is reliable, dependable, reasonably accurate, and reasonably priced.
So it works.
I also own a NAA Ranger II in .22mag that has been my EDC for a couple of months now.
It is drop dead gorgeous. It is also all Stainless Steel and pretty wood, incredibly small, and lightweight.
So it also works.
But I could buy 3 of the Hipoint's for what the little mini NAA revolver costs.

In the long run, image is nothing, function is all.
Apparently I will.....but it's pretty when I hit my target!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d1796f4c5b.jpg

Them high points also make a good boat anchor!:kidding:
Do you think ugly pistols appreciate it more?
Oh, you meant ugly like Glock, not ugly like worn and beat.
I bought a Glock and probably will buy a Hi-Point
I thought you were talking ugly like a Russian Nagant. I'm thinking on getting one of those.
