This.
The Ruger P-90 in 45 ACP was my very first "legal" carry pistol. It shot like a champ, was reliable as Hell amd despite it's tank-like size, was pretty concealable. It was also the ugliest gun I've ever owned.

Have to agree with the Dreyse 1907 - but I still love it even though it's ugly!
And although I think the Mauser Broomhandle is rather awkward-looking, anyone who's taken one apart knows it's a thing of beauty. Only one screw for the whole pistol, and that holds the grips to the frame. Old-world craftsmanship at its finest. Ever wonder why there are so many of them around (in functional condition) after 100(+) years?
As far as rifles go, any bullpup design - but, of course, I still want one....

I think that there should be a distinction between ugly and works, and ugly and fails.
Slamming the Liberator as ugly is the same thing as slamming the Jeep for being unaerodynamic! It met its design needs, and paid no attention to any theoretical aesthetics.
Ugly and fails - the Dardick
Ugly and works - the Broomhandle - and therefore, to the user, beautiful.

Very true my friend. I would never turn one away if I had the chance. Still think its ugly though
You'd get a nice not-so-much used car in trade for that case

I think that Beretta Neos is near top of the list. That thing is pure ugly. Those old Frommer and Steyr pistols are ugly as well but at least they have the cool collectible aspect to them.

I was thinking the same thing, but decided I kind of like the MAS 36.Anything WWII Japanese that's not an Arisaka.
Example:
Also, the Chauchat Machine gun from WWII. Fuggly and a POS.
