Those Brownings are stunning!
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

For me it is hard to beat an N-Frame Smith.

Some think the Bisley is ugly. I don't. Here is Beretta's iteration.

In terms of beauty, which handgun holds the title? My vote is split between the 1851 Colt navy, and the 1892 Colt army I'm the proud owner of a 51 Navy. It was my Great, or Great Great Uncle's gun. It's come down through the family to me and will be handed down to my son when my days here are done. Man, if that old Colt could talk.

offft... I got my first handgun in a hardware store here in the county seat. The store is long gone. They had only a few short guns...an H&R 949 (which is what I purchased), a blue Ruger Super Single Six, a stainless Ruger Security Six with a six inch barrel and the scarce Ruger oversized wooden grips (looked a lot like the Goncalo Alves oversized targets on Smith's) and a Nagant. The Nagant was the uglist mfer I had ever laid eyes on and had a double action trigger pull that I'm not sure I could do with just one finger. I think I may have put two hands on it and pulled with two fingers. We bitch and moan about guns a lot but the truth is, a lot more people seem to own guns now, at least in my part of the country, and a helluva lot more own handguns. Back then a .22 and a 12 gauge were standard and some of the old men had a .22 or .38 pistol that you never heard about or saw. A few guys had a 30-30 or an '06, but they were the rich ones that hunted Colorado or New Mexico.

I recently acquired a High Standard Sentinel MK4 22 Mag having wanting one since I was a kid as I thought they were pretty sharp. Not "classic" but a nice looking, well fitted and finished piece.

S&W Model 15 4" for DA revolvers. For semi autos the Browning Hi Power (and I don't even own one) and the S&W 5903 alloy frame (I DO own one). For single action revolvers I'll go sentimental with the original Ruger Bearcat. Got mine when I was 13.

I know they're a dime a dozen but in my mind a nice old M10's pretty darn "beautiful".

I like the model 19 as well. Except for the barrel length, pretty similar.
