Best looking handgun ever made??

[crackerbarrel2]

Both of those are FUGLY.....but to each their own.

Nothing beats the classic look and lines of any number of high quality 1911s.

100% agree

One of my favourites

Colt Python 6". Rick's gun basically

Too many to choose from as they're all interesting in their own regard, but one comes to my mind is Elmer Keith's revolver No. 5: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/47801.jpg

The grip shape just looks so "right" to me...

P08 and C96 look the coolest to me

 

[charlesquik]

Walther ppk for sure. There is something in this finger extension and molten brown grip

 

[Milanczar]

Another vote for Rhino

The best looking handgun I ever handled was a commercial 30cal Luger Carbine. Guy wanted $125 (1962) for it, which I did not have. I still think about it.

Second
I do prefer it's much cruder cousin the Makarov though
The button mag release though!

Not for everyone but my favorite...

The grips looked solid to me, not liquid at all. Maybe you mean "mottled".

I certainly appreciate all the varied styles out there and to the OP, a tip of the hat! Quite the cool little piece and time capsule!!
I may be biased but I’m a sucker for my Model 29 and then a distant second my 97B....

My tastes are a little more modern

And to me, just so wrong.

It's not quite a Bisley, and it sure ain't a SAA. Lovely engraving, however.

Looks like the basis for a good Sci-Fi or Steampunk revolver ... :>) Just kidding. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

Function of the cuts behind the trigger?

Looks like it's to accommodate either a left or right hand trigger finger.

Maybe not the best looking handguns ever made but decent to look at just the same.
Here's pictures of a couple of mine:

- Colt SAA, 45 Colt, 1906 - Colt New Service NWMP, 45 Colt, 1919

- A couple of S&W pre-27's, 7 3/8" and 6 "

My vote for the best looking handgun would be the Colt 1860 Army, the top one in the photo if your not familiar with them. I have always loved the lines of this revolver.

any smith and wesson wheel gun,especially the model 29
