Whether owned as tool, toy, or fashion statement, everybody appreciates the beauty of a well-crafted blaster.
Here are my three all-time best lookers, now all departed sadly (especially the 1911, which I did all my own work on and shot many an IPSC match with back in the 90’s).

So what are your best-looking handguns? Remember: must post pics (if available) or it never happened.
My oldest,most beat up Glock 19 that I started with 18 years ago. Scratches and dings,lots of finish wear,marks on the slide,frame and sights from being dropped on rocks,concrete,dirt,churt,water,and mud.
It has more character than any gun I have,and is still ticking.
Sorry,no picture. Thay all look alike anyway.
Only one I have. Cz75compact, 40cal. Meprolites, and SAO trigger, and some electrical tape around the trigger guard to keep blister down to a minimum. I think the same setup with a sp-01 would be terrific for competitions and may get one once I start into them. If you remove the fp block(which I havnt done) im pretty sure the trigger can be made awesome. Since I carry this, Im keeping it in for now, until I buy a g19 or something similar. Holster wear and love marks just add character. Its dirty in this pic since it was taken immediately after range trip.
Aesthetics belong in art galleries. Threads like this make me want to beat baby seals. Heres my first Glock. Aint she a beaut?
For pure looks and soul, very little to nothing beats a 1911.

Take your pick
At work so no pic, but my best looking handgun is the Colt 1918 Repro that my wife gave me as a wedding present.
It’s not fancy but it’s beautiful, it’s classic and I love it.
Any Glock, especially in OD.
A lightly customized Mark IV Series 70 1911A1 in 45 ACP and a lightly customized S&W Model 29-2. Both show near beat-to-shit levels of honest wear earned on my watch, and both have gotten me out of tight spots.
I’m not much on shiny new guns.

Nothing is sexier than a classic 1911 (regarding guns not women)! A custom 1911, with a deep blued finish, a slight carry melt, and ball cuts would do the trick!
I’ll go with my four Rock River 1911s (two Govt/two Cmdr) and my trio of HK P7s (PSP, M8/M13). The P7s are just awesome pistols!
I always thought my P220 was purtty (she’s gone now)
But I always get a special feeling when looking at OD Glocks:
My best looking gun is the H&K P7M8. I think its the best looking handgun along with the 1911. Pictures courtesy of Ken Lunde (I don’t have any pics of mine)…
+1 followed very close by a 4" blue Python.
Ooooo… A full rail TRP.
Very nice.
I hate you.
A SIG P210.
I don’t own this anymore, but my old m&p .45
