Default What's the purdiest hand gun made?

Lets forget for a moment about take down power, capacity, ease of use, and all that jazz. What's the prettiest hand gun made in your opinion? I'm not talking about modding an existing model, but rather what's the prettiest made direct from the manufacturer? Let's make this a cool thread with lots of pics!

To me the most purdy pistol ever made is Gastons creation. Some call them blocks, but I doubt them people have actualy held one and expreinced the roundness of the grip and just look at the blockish slide and imagine what the slide would feel like if it were gripped, oh well.

Here is a couple pics of my work horses. No carpet or purple sheets for my guns, they are actualy allergic to that kind of stuff......


G19


G37

G37 has a Lasermax unimax on it now.....

For flat-out purdy, I don't think anything can beat 5 1/2", blue/color-casehardened Single Action Armys, wearing ivory.

home made ....

.22 LR rifle style sights
when Vice fired makes 1/4 " groups at 25m

so home made target pistol basically

I DID NOT MAKE THE ONE IN THE PIC!

i was on a now gone forum when a few folks worked out the plan and a few where built in the US, the UK, and Oz

this one just looks the best of them all ( i think)

mine has a nice burl wood dressing , i'll find a pic of it and post

I still think the puurdiest pistal ever was the ones that Boggie had when he said the famous line "you feel more a man whith a pair of colt 45s, I prefer mine in nickle" as he pulled a pair of colt 1911s that where nickle plated. Man I loved the look of those pistals.

I am old and heard that back when I was a kid so may have the actual quote wrong but you get the picture.

I had to giggle just a bit when I looked at some of the guns so far posted as being pretty. I mean really, a Glock is a lot of things but pretty it is not. It reminds of the time I was having a conversation with a young man who volunteered the fact that his sister was working at a local brothel (prostitution is legal here). I asked if his sister was pretty or ugly. He replied she is both. I said how could she be both? He said she is pretty ugly.
