Ugliest Gun Award
« on: February 18, 2018, 10:55:33 PM »
The original Hi-Point 995. Ugly as sin but it's cheap, reliable and a kick in the pants to shoot. I bought my son the newer TS model a couple years ago and he has close to 2k trouble free rounds through it. A guy at work needed cash fast so I picked this up dirt cheap. I've already ordered the new style stock for it. Now all I need is a Planet of the Apes uniform to wear when I take it to the range.

Totally agree. That is one ugly rifle.

That's a perfect sidearm to go with the 995. Are those tack welds at the top?

Any other nominees?

What was that thing that was bent or curved to be more concealable? It was out a few years back and then vanished.

Apparently it's still around: The Taurus Curve. I guess if you're left handed you're SOL.

The Heizer Defense PKO45 falls into the profoundly fugly category in my eyes.

^^^^ Yuk1 I think you're right. That thing looks like a Hi-Point on a diet.

Just back your car over it, then it becomes the lefty Taurus Swerve.

Put the new stock on last night. Sadly it didn't improve the looks much - just more tacticool now.

Because they're reasonably priced, reliable, and easy to modify if so inclined. I own a grand total of 1 a Glock 19 Gen 4, and once I changed the trigger to a flat face model, its been a good solid (not great) pistol. Will it replace my Wilson Combat Beretta Centurion or CZ PCR? Nope, but it will always have a place in my safe and at the range.
