If There Was a Miss America Beauty Pageant for Handguns, which handgun would win?

[Dogger]

Hey, I gotta cast the first vote! Of course the gun is the M1911! Specifically: Ed Brown's full size custom target version -- with the stainless steel slide and blue frame. Awesome!

 

[RikWriter]

Kimber Classic Stainless Gold Match.

 

[Gwinnydapooh]

You gotta be kidding!

Colt SAA, nickel finish and ivory grips.

Actually, I kinda like the way Rugers look in stainless. Does that make me crazy?

I think that this is a classy looking Ruger: http://www.ruger-firearms.com/images/kbpfb.gif
I also like the S&W 4013 TSW,
Wilson modified Kahr,
Sig 228, 229, and 232
NAA Mini
Beretta 96-G

I could keep going,

[OTIS]

Beretta 92 Inox, (stainless model)

 

[Hairball]

I'd have to go with a Desert Eagle (Stainless or Polished Blueing with wood grips)

 

[Cawdor]

Walther P99

 

[Neal]

Late 50's-1960's era S&W Model 29-blue. The most beautiful handgun there ever was.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, Smoking Hole pistols are the coolest of them all........

The old 1960s production Colt Python. Fit and finish has never been rivalled for a standard production American made firearm.

For Miss Universe, which opens it to guns of all nationalities, I'd go with an engraved P-08 Luger.

 

[JERKY]

Sig 229 in full nickel or

Beretta 92 inox

My first place vote is for an HK P7M8 nickel finish... My second place vote is for a Les Baer 1911 5 in. barrel SRP...

 

[loknload]

First place my Beretta Cougar 8040 with White Ivory grips. Second runner up my Smith 629 brushed stainless .44

So how does this work? You get a pretty model to carry the pistol of your choice?

I pick Daisey Duke with a Walther P99.

 

[Ed Brunner]

From the answers I conclude that noabsolute standard of beauty has been agreed upon. I must agree that the Python of the sixties was/is awesome to look at.
This debate will go on and on and on and...

I am a purist. I still think that a S&W 4"
Mod 66 or Mod 27 is as beautiful as it gets.

[Futo Inu]

How bout Denise Richards (the new Bond girl), but with an SV Infinity Stainless.

 

[Jeff Thomas]

Dolly Parton, holding a pair of Paraordnance P-14 Limited's, in stainless.

The best looking handgun I have ever seen has got to be the S&W Model 27 with a 5" barrel that was made back in the seventies. It had the best blue job I have seen. I know two friends of mine that each have one of these pieces. They are truly beautiful.
Second choice is a 4" model 19.

Carry a Glock 22, and I don't think it is pretty. As a matter of fact, it ain't meant to be.
However, I have to say that if I had to pick a winner, it would be the Colt Gold Cup National Match .45 ACP (Blue) Just my two cents

[CSG]

How about one of those pink gripped chromed Jennings?

My serious choices would go to original classic design:

Colt SAA
Colt 1911
Browning HP
Luger
Walther PPK
Glock 17

Each of these is a classic in it's own right
