That has to be the best looking Ruger semi auto I've ever seen!

Thanks ! The only change is a set of Hogue wood grips. Ruger rubber stocks leave a lot to be desired.

KP345 IS BEAUTIMOUS!!! SR9/SR40 are ugly as a Hi Point.....okay, not quite but close. The preceeding was my factual opinion.

i agree on the 1911's but buety is in the eye of the beholder. to stay on subject as far as ruger is involved there great shooting guns and short of not having any warentee they cover there product. the older ones are great im not too impressed with the newer ones as far as quality is conserned they seem cheeper in there quality since the old man passed away

"Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder" which means, everyone in entitled to their own opinion!!!

Personally...I think they are B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. guns...except maybe the P-series. Their revolvers are awesome...I have six (6) of them...including the LCR! The LCR is a technological marval!!!

Their SR-9 (and now, .40) are very beautiful guns...even just to look at!

Their revolvers have excellent factory grips (I wish Colt & S&W had the foresight to develop such a nice grip!)

But the real beauty is in their performance! Built tough...will handle anything that you put through them...and accurate!!

You won't sell me on another gun!

Speed six... beautiful
GP 100... beautiful, with the original wood inlaid grip
MK11... good looking
Sr9c... good looking

There is something about the wood inlaid grips of the GP's and SRH that I find appealing. When they got away from them I agree they are ugly.

The Speed Six with wood grips is beautiful. I wanted one the first time I saw it.

Now, hear me out. Glocks are streamlined, they are basic and blocky and fine. Rugers are intentionally ugly. There is nothing really bad-looking about the Glock, but there is nothing exceptional about it either. I just think that Rugers seem to go out of their way in R&D to make automatics (and some revolvers) that just don't look good. Now, I might be a little paranoid too, I'm not saying that's not the case...

Come on now, we're getting all hung up in opinions that aren't mine.

Ruger has their dog faces, no doubt about it. Way to many Buck Rogers boys and slaves to fashion in there like about any manufacture of any thing today. Cars, guns, knives, what ever these morons in design wouldn't know what looks good or is good if you glued it to their nose. Plastic Chinese imitation crap, you name it they all have one they copied off some one else. Then there's a few that don't do any thing else, black, plastic, imitation, crap, nothing wrong with it until it's so prevalent then next generation has never seen good and Walla! Now you get threads about how the Wal-Mart Chinese import of guns suddenly "looks good". ROTFLMAO!

That's hilarious. I guess some one has to make the claw hammers of guns but they sure aren't "good looking" just because they'll shoot and pound nails with the same tool.

Oh my GAWD.... you CAN'T mean that. May Bill Ruger haunt you for eternity! Blasphamy!!!

Not sure what the OP sees but I have owned some (what I think) beautiful Rugers!!

 

[Aaronhome27]

Didn't have any pics of the redhawks with the wood inlayed grips ..... darn. They did look good in the dress up clothes but if you use em you dress em accordingly. The S&W 500 doesnt wear wood inlays for a reason ....

Guess I'm going to have to amend my definition of ugly. I had managed to block out the absolute horror of what used to be a nice hand gun after it's had a rifle scope glommed on to it. Car/trucks, truck/cars, plastic Tupperware Chinese guns, do rag bald spots, shirts with anime cartoon crap, some things just can't be "unseen".

I may be close but, when I'm too old to shoot a handgun I'm sure not going to try turning one in to a rifle and convince myself I'm still a hand gunner, or I just like do-rags and ball caps. Just give it up guys, it is what it is and it's NOT WHAT IT'S NOT, regardless what you call it.

 

[Aaronhome27]

I guess everyone has their opinions .... lol. My scoped firearms were scoped for a reason. TO USE. With poor eye sight and the will to still humanely take game you do what you gotta do. With the scopes no tree rats or deer were safe .....

If I need a rifle, then I need a rifle not some Reese Cup concoction people who can't make up their own mind haul around in a 4 door car/truck.

"Hey! You got rifle on my hand gun!"

"No dufus, you got handgun on my RIFLE!"

It's enough to make Harry Callahan puke.

So...... I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark here. Uh.... you're not a big fan of scoped handguns?

Huh? I can barely read that. Is some one turning down the font size again?

She's beautiful, hold your tongue

I think your revolver stopped short and got a rifle stuck up it's butt.

Come on Jack, calm down and take your medicine.

Tis true, and I'll deserve it. - But, I do like the c model more. I'd actually like one eventually. But I need a KP97, PK90, and a KP89D.

 

[G-Niner]

I like the scope.

 

[Jack Ryan]

Come on Jack, calm down and take your medicine.

LOL, I missed a day yesterday.
