Best looking gun I have...

Sorry it's so small in the picture...

I know this is very subjective, but I would like to start buying the top 5 most handsome production handguns available. I don't care whether they're semi's or revolvers.
I already own the ones I want. Now I would like to find the really good looking, good shooting ones (that I would shoot on a regular basis).
No safe queens or artistically engraved show pieces. Just the best looking guns I can find.
What are you opinions?
Thanks for any ideas.

My five favorites:
.50 Desert Eagle
.44 Magnum Automag
Kimber Grand Raptor II .45
Colt Anaconda 6 " .44
Colt Match Target Woodsman .22
I'd add a 4" blued Colt Python, a Walther PPK, and the Browning HP.
BTW, even a glock would look good in JeffWard's picture, that's cheating...
H&K P7
Walther P38 and PPK.
Sig Sauer series.
Most Classic style 1911's.
Any GLOCK...![]()
Walther P99. That is all.
Based purely on aesthetics:
Blued/case-hardened Colt SAA
Blued 6" Colt Python
Blued 6" S&W Combat Magnum
Blued 6" S&W 1955 Target
P08 Luger
I don't think any of these are in current production, but all are common enough to find (with enough money).
I think most modern guns are ugly, even if they do look rather businesslike. I personally don't care a whit what any gun looks like, though.

Dang, Mike; you got 3-out-of-5 from my list, even though you got the Combat Magnum's barrel length "wrong".
My list:
Colt Python .357, 6" blued
S&W Model 19 .357, 4" blued
Luger P08
Colt 1911A1 .45 ACP, 5" blued, with nicely figured grips
Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 magnum

Sensual?
We gotta get you back in-country for good, and soon!
I'm with you on the red ramps, though. Blech. Plain ramp for me, please, although the flat-faced Patridge you prefer certainly gives a nice crisp sight picture (even though it looks like a hatchet in profile).![]()
My XD don't look that good..![]()
