The best looking polymer 9mm pistol ever made is...

not the PPQ. Which is sad but true. :(

So what do you think? Not about the PPQ. It's just downright ugly. :(

It's like a really ugly baby. But it's your baby. So you still love it.
 
My FNX is my ugly baby, but I think it's beautiful.

I would imagine someone is going to make a case for the PX4 storm. Those little things are hideous! Shoot well though.
 
I can't say any polymer pistol is especially good looking, though some are uglier than others I guess. The PX4 is a funny looking gun although not bad in normal and compact sizes. The PX4 subcompact is possibly the ugliest polymer gun I've seen.

None of these will win any beauty contests, but I actually think the new 2.0 M&P is a pretty good looking gun. It doesn't have the blocky, "I was carved from a brick" look of the Glock and XD guns. It looks like a serious tool.

I actually think my Walther PPQ Q5 Match is a decent looking gun! The longer barrel and the slide cuts kinda spruce it up a bit.
 
I don't own a polymer pistol yet, so I guess that makes me somewhat objective. In my mind, the Sig P320 stands out as being less ugly than the other plastic offerings on the market.
 
As far as poly pistol, looks don't mean much to me. I personally think the PPQ is decent looking as far as polymer pistols go. IMO HK makes some of the better looking poly pistols but looks are very subjective.

I would say Glock....because it doesn't try to be good looking. I am not a fan of all the swoopy little lines, curves and contours that manufacturer's use to try and make a polymer gun look good.
 
When looking for a self protection weapon i look for function and reliability not how well it will do with a pose on the cover of Guns and Ammo. If a CC pistol is in it's proper place ( holstered and concealed) no one will comment upon the beauty/ ugly issues.

I agree, but more importantly I think HK’s often make better looking punctured targets! I think that my recently acquired HK P2000 v3 9mm is possibly the best out of the box pistol I’ve ever owned, I would not change a thing on this one!
 
I have never owned a CZ pistol, but have handled them.

With their inboard slide and most ergonomic grip, they feel, and look awesome!

But I am in love with my constant companion, the Gen 4 Glock 19. That has never failed to feed, fire, and eject. So will continue to admire the CZ from afar.
