I have mixed feelings.
Does the slide lightening holes offset the accessory weight on that Barney the Dinosaur race gun?

Yes
the CZ P-09 could make a freight train take a dirt road, but it shoots like a match gun.

I like that one.^^^^^^ Looks businesslike when cocked and locked.

Baltimoreed, the craftsmanship on the Webley and Astra transcend appearance. If one wishes to see first class machining- look no further than inside the Astra.
Great collection there, sir.

All depends what you consider ugly. When I was younger i bought anything that was cheap. Now I only buy pretty (S&W but thats my taste) Problem with pretty is you dont want to carry them. So there is a reason to buy ugly at times.
I am in the ugly group for SD guns. I want a gun I can shoot well that is reliable and has decent accuracy. How it looks is way down the list.

I'm a big fan of data-driven decisions. You want to make me smile, show me a spreadsheet! Extra points for graphs and best-fit predictive equations.
Yeah, I did.

i think anyone who has ever bought a Glock has bought a ugly pistol.
Ok, I had to throw up a bit......

Sorry, Tex, I wouldn't want you to risk your sight having to look at them. Though the S&W 32-20 in the upper right photo came out of Texas.

Obi Wan Kenobi said that the lightsaber was "An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age"
Personally, I'm much more in line with Han Solo's "Hokie religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side"
The question of "what is ugly?" has to be brought up here. If it's a matter of condition, a Royal Blue Python, carried, sweat on, and subjected to hard range use for 20-30 years will be pretty ugly. Do the same to a Glock 17, and it'll come through looking pretty much like. . .a Glock 17.

In the Land of Oz, we cast with wheel weight and 2% Tin, Man.
My AR15 pistol is every bit as ugly as my Hi-point pistol.

Of course; I bought some S&W M64's that were re-imported from Austria, Turn-ins from Austrian Forestry Service or something similar to that. Carried extensively and rarely shot. I wear one on my side like a pair of pliers when working outside. I have bumped up against fences posts, trees and my tractor Ugly but functional.
