. There was this one time when I had four Old Fashions and then considered a Glock...
But, I've never been drunk enough to consider buying a Hi-Point.
Dude, you only rent the ugly ones so you can pay them to leave.I've bought more than one because they were ugly. I've got enough Finn Mosins stacked up around here to equip a infantry company in conditions ranging from arsenal new to barely better than relic. I'll also be the first to admit that Mosins are not the most attractive rifle ever built. But guess which ones I like the best? It ain't the new ones, I'll tell you that!
My favorite M39 has the stock nailed together in about 4 places; no bluing; dents, dings, and scratches galore. It also has a trigger that would put a Timney to shame, the bolt is super slick and can be opened with one finger, and it is also the most accurate iron sighted rifle I own. Oh, and it has a ghost. It is no **** haunted. Actually got a few others that are, shall we say, spirit enhanced but that is for another thread. Also got a M91 that looks like it was wrapped in barbed wire than drug behind a truck for a couple miles down a gravel road. You literally can not touch it with a fingertip without touching a scratch. Haven't shot it, I retired it as soon as I bought it, I just like the way it looks! Then there is the war time condition captured 91/30 with the Finn's name carved in it and the burnt butt. Also bought it because I liked the looks. Plenty of others, that's just a few examples. Finally, its not a Finn but a Swede Mauser. Looks like somebody used the stock to drive a piece of pipe into the ground. Thought the circular dents looked neat as hell.
On a more modern note, all but one of my hunting guns wear plain ol ugly synthetic stocks. Briars, dropped on a rock, drug across a fence, pffht, who cares. The one that is wood gets wrapped in about 3 thicknesses of vet wrap before going into the woods. One other modern gun that need mentioned. My P22. Puke green colored frame. I giggle every time I look at it.
Yep! The best guns are ugly. Glock, Sigs, 1911's, Hi-Points, H&K, Walther, .....
My wife has the same thing via SIG M400 Enhanced 5.56.My daughter just sent me a text telling me she bought one of these because it looks cool.

Looks mattered to her. I'm just happy she bought another firearm
Was at a local shop last week and a man and woman were in there looking at handguns for her....she would hold one and then hold it out at arms length and comment on the appearance of the pistol...This ones ugly, this one is pretty etc... her man was also commenting on them strictly by their looks...Little to no mention or discussion regarding caliber, brand, reliability etc....It was all about the cosmetics...I just shook my head at the comments..
Now I know everyone likes a nice looking firearm, but to make your decision to purchase and carry based solely on what it looks like is crazy to me....does anyone actually do that????
