It's got to be this - Ruger PCC Charger. What other firearms have you seen that kind of make you gag?





Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

I've always thought Calico pistols were hideous.

That Ruger is definitely a beast, my wife had a S&W Shield EZ9 PC - with the loaded chamber indicator, cheap grip safety & (looked like) stamped metal slide release.......it's not destined to win any classic beauty awards either. Smile

Eh. Eye of the beholder, I guess. It's not beautiful like a SIG, but it's definitely better looking than a High Point or those pistols Remington tried to sell years ago. This one has a bit of style to it, at least.

What is that supposed to be? If a pistol, how would you aim something like that? I could see it as a nice carbine, if one were to add a stock and a longer barrel. . .

It's likely supposed to either be the foundation for a SBR, or used with a pistol brace.

But you could conceivably shoot it fairly effectively without a stock or brace, by using a red dot optic while utilizing the push/pull method plus the tension of a rear-mounted single point sling to add extra stability, similar to what was pioneered back in the day with the MP5K by the SAS and others:

I always thought the Rhino revolver was an ugly piece of work.

I have to admit the first thing that came to mind was the HiPoint. Like a pregnant slide. It instantly reminded me of the original paintball pistols. In fact, the paintball pistols looked better to me.

A little less ugly were those failed Remington pistols (R51). They reminded me of that weirdo late sixties toy pistol marketed as being from Star Trek even though it was nothing of the kind. They shot little plastic discs about the size of a nickel. Looked reminiscent of a futuristic styled broom-handle Mauser.

Remington R51



At least I can see that Chiappa Rhino being a decent impact weapon. It would be extra painful to be pistol whipped with that thing.

I don't own one, but my nominee is (IMHO) certainly well qualified!

In my mind, it's all too easy to pimp out a 1911 to the point of it's being fugly. If I didn't get hammer-bit (grip safety bit?), I'd be a huge fan of the basic version of the pistol.

H&K VP70. So ugly it’s kinda cool. I would probably buy one if it didn’t have such a horrible trigger.

Ugliness in a firearm can be an advantage. More intimidating to the BG. The.45 caliber grease gun is rather ugly.

My vote- I hear it is a fun gun (I considered one before buying a Ruger IV).

I'll nominate the Grendel P30, I bought one years ago because of rarity but sold it pretty quickly for it's ugliness. Magazines for it were around $100, that was about 15 years ago. .22 WMR, 30 round mags
