I like beautiful tools. Being useful and rugged does not imply being ugly.
"Pretty" guns - whether pistols, rifles or shotguns - tend to be safe queens, taken out only for private drool sessions or to be photographed and uploaded to Photobucket, or some such similar site, for the purpose of facilitating an internet or social-media drool session.
I think of my gun as a tool
What are your feelings on pretty guns? I think of my gun as a tool. My tool has holster wear, scrapes and scratches from range time and years of carry.
Then there are working guns. While these may come out of the box being "pretty," over time they get shot, bumped, hit, rubbed hard, shot a lot more, dropped, mishandled, cleaned badly and intermittently, etc., not to mention getting banged-against in the safe by the resident safe queens and not in a good way.

By that definition, I don't have any working guns. My EDC gets better treatment than that. Wear is one thing and neglect is another.
