Are glocks ugly?

[SanSacto]

Yes Glocks are ugly, but I like 'em that way!

[BigDogatPlay]

As compared to something like this S&W Registered Magnum....



Yeah, a Glock is going to be butt friggin' ugly.

But in the sense that like the above it is completely reliable and does what it needs to do pretty much without fail.... the Glock is a thing of beauty.

They are not that ugly, just different. And yes, their functionability make up for it.

As for a pretty firearm, look at any SIG P228 or P226.

Ugly?

Hell no, not in my book at least. Beautiful simplisity. No B.S. no games just all buisness.
Like a professional hooker, there for one purpose and one purpose only. To get the job done, ride her hard and put her away wet.
Whats no beautiful about that.

i think the glock aesthetic is awesome. it looks like a tool. it looks purposeful and the geometry is intentional. imho the aesthetics looked designed to parallel the build philosophy.

there's plenty of guns out there where the design says that the external and internals were done seperately and then later incorporated.

it's like a tool bin. the contents probably were not bought because they looked pretty. but tools gain beauty by their functionality, durability and reliability. anything else is just not a good tool. IMHO

My moneys on the registered magnum for reliability. Unless you plan on dropping your gun into a mountain of elephant dung, running it over with a cadillac eldorado, freezing it in a bag of chicken feet, and dropping it from traffic copter 1 into rush hour traffic before you go to the range. Then I'll take the glock.

But in the sense that like the above it is completely reliable and does what it needs to do pretty much without fail.... the Glock is a thing of beauty.

A Hi-point looks better...

[WoodrowShootist]

Glocks are ugly. I try to avoid buying one inspite of the adulation of some gun owners.

[locosway]

They're only ugly until you own one, then somehow God parts the heavens and bestows you with the wisdom of Glock beauty. It's definitely and acquired look, that has grown on me after buying one. Since then I've now bought two and I'm planning on at least one more Glock.

The 1911 and Sigs are much more appealing to the eye, but when I'm shooting, all I see is my sights. So the function to me is key.

Yup, Especially if your looking at the business end.

Ugly with a capital Ug.
