Best looking handgun?

This question has probably been asked before, but I've not seen it. What do you think is the best looking handgun? With my limited knowledge I would vote for the Beretta 92FS.

First place: Colt 1911 with custom blued finish that you can see your reflection in

Second place: Ruger Vaquero 44 magnum in chrome

Third place: Beretta 8040
 
My perception of beauty is dynamic. This is how I feel right as I post this.

Traditional semiauto: 1911 type pistol (was formerly the Beretta 92)

Polymer semiauto: Walther P99 (was formerly the USP)

Revolver: 629 DX (was formerly the Ruger Redhawk)
 
I would have to say the following as my favorites
Semi Auto: MD#39-2 S&W
Polymer Auto: Walther P99
Revolver: S&W 629 8 3/8 SS
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder :)

i like the looks of my 92FS as well.

but IMHO the best looking handgun is my Glock 19. thats right a glock. i dunno something about a gun that works great, is very reliable and accurate makes it look a lot better in my mind over some fancy 1911 that won't shoot reliably.
 
I like the Colt 45ACP and S&W model 19. I also like the Charter Arms Bulldog as my hideout piece. If I had my druthers, I would like them all engraved.

Best looking, that a hard one. Probably a 1911. All these people think Glocks are "ugly", I think they are neat looking. The ugliest, the one pointed at me.
 
Any third generation mid-size or full-size S&W pistol -- they all look the same.

Interesting question. My top picks, not necessarily in this order:

S&W Model 10 (in longer barrel lengths).

Beretta 92SB (pre-F, with polished blue finish).

BHP.

SIG P-series, two-tone.

Colt's GM (pre-enhanced).

SAA.
 
Blued Colt Python, 6" barrel, from the 1960s or 1950s. (No, I don't own one <g>.) Nothing else even close...IMO.
 
Definately a 1911 first for me. Although I am rather partial to my '84 CZ-75. The beretta is definately up there as well.

Ugliest? I would have to say those japanese Nambu pistols. I think I would be embarassed to own one, based on looks alone.
