Bushmaster1313: Yes you did.
What is the name of your young platinum blonde friend ?
Here is one of my platinum favorites shooting some very short HK submachine guns.
The name is Sofilein (Youtube also "Sofi Tanks").

It's all subjective but IMO that one is in the top 10 as far as I'm concerned.

Those Performance Center 952’s are gorgeous. The CZ’s are cool too, in a Star Wars kind of way.
The S&W 39, especially in nickel, is probably my favorite S&W pistol. Others that are in the running for "best looking" pistols would be: Beretta 84 (especially in nickel), Walther PPK, Browning/FN Hi Power, 1911, and in a more modern design, CZ 75B if you find a blued version. Add in revolvers though, and the list either gets a lot longer, or a bunch of those get knocked off the list altogether.
I absolutely LOVE it ... the model 39 is a handsome looking handgun ...1975 Smith & Wesson 39-2
I don't care what anyone says .

I had one just like it. Bought it in 1986 used for $ 265.00. I don't think that it had 100 rounds through it. Sold it to a very good friend for what I had into it back in 1999 and bought a Glock 19. Wish that I never sold that S&W 39-2 nickel plated gem.

Many good looking out there! For my money, the DW Valor Vbob has to be my favorite. All on this thread are great looking!

Lots of purdy guns shown here, but I have to agree with PSP, the P-08 takes the cake for beautiful lines.
Aside from looks there are so many superlative attributes available that, for me, all add up to the 1911. By that I mean the 1911 has everything I like a pistol to have and none of the things I personally hate.
Others have different yardsticks, and for them they are correct. But let's focus on the P-08; the P-08 has a striker, which I hate, it has the mag release where common sense dictates, is chambered in a somewhat wimpy cartridge (In my opinion) but one of the most mechanically interesting actions of any gun every made. The safety is a bit awkward and very few P-08s have what I'd call a good trigger. I'd never carry one for self defense unless that was all I had!
I also agree with Forte S&W about the appearance of the PPK/s, but only for a good looks album and an interesting design album.
An album filled with "Beautiful guns" could never be printed that appealed to everyone, nor one of the most interesting designs, nor most practical controls, etc.
I expect that everyone knows these things, so I have to think the OP's real motive was to make contact with people who like S&W automatics, and though I own many guns and have sold only a handful in the last 58 years one that I got rid of was an S&W auto which I thought had a terrible trigger, but the guy that bought it probably loves it.
But they do look nice.

Most of these handguns depictid are far two purdy to shewt.
But you No that.
Several years ago I had an M-1 Service Grade Special which I bought in the CMP Store in Anniston.
It had remained in Greece for decades, store in cosmoline, probably since the Greek Civil War.
So nice, with new wood, that I never shot it; sold it after a few months when Armslist was Still in its "Golden Years".

Curiosity. Why the checking on the front of the vbob?
I disagree with Bac. I think his full dust cover silver P210 is pretty hard to bet for looks.
