Buying guns based on how they look

[Moonclip]

I generally wont but I do have a thing for very short but still legal length single and double barreled shotguns.

I say get what you want as long as it shoots when you pull the trigger. I buy cars because they look nice and I do it with my guns too. If I had money I would dip my 1911 in gold and not care about anyones .2cents. I don't want a ugly girl, and ugly car, and an ugly gun. If someone says you gun's ugly tell them to make it look nice then a can of matt black duracoat is considered CLEAN in my book not NICE

I buy mainly on price and performance. I did buy a fake pearl gripped, factory chromed plated Star BM last year though. I do like singele stack 9x19 pistols though and the gun was less than $140.

Yeah but cool and good looking are relative to the buyer.

Ok...

Yeah but cool and good looking are relative to the buyer.

So if it's relative to the buyer then ugly people should own ugly guns and good looking people should own good looking guns. An ugly person that owns a good looking gun can still look cool, right?

Works for me!

For some of us its the only cool we will ever have.

Speak for yourself.

Of course I buy guns based on how they look, but that's not the only factor.

Mmmmm.. 1911..... <drool>

Is in the eye of the gun holder. For all I know you could b downright f-ugly...I still think you're cool!

Dang....another GUILTY one here

I have a $250 Turner's gift certificate burning in my pocket. The Walther P22 is really calling my name out loud but I have read a lot of mixed reviews. It seems like the bugs have been ironed out now, but still.....

What to do, what to do

I love using bold in all my posts.

Then this census supports my theory that all these FFL are full of it. Not to knock Glocks even though there just a tad bit bland, thats what makes them distinct amonsgt the crowed.

Were all guilty of buying something based on the looks of it, though I try not to make that mistake a lot, always has to function well, get good feedback, etc.

As long as it's reputable, I will go for looks. I'm a girl, what can I say? It's usually the "awww, cute!" factor that guides me... that and large calibers. I have a thing for .45s and .308s.

What truly matters most is what the 'item' means to you. If you buy it based on looks, then as long as you're happy with how it looks, everythings good. If you buy it based on performance, then it better perform. If it can do both, all the better. As long as you are happy with it based on your criteria.
