As the title says- what gun in your collection isn't very nice or pretty, but is one you like?

Mine is this old Taurus model 66, 357 magnum. I got it as a throw in with another purchase for a whopping $100. It's scratched up and was dropped on it's rear sight at one point, pinching one of the blades in. I've learned that with my sight picture, if I touch the tip of the bent sight to the top corner of the front sight, it's a tack driver, so I haven't changed it out yet. It's been the gun that guards my front door for a dozen years, and I have every confidence in it when I answer the door with it tucked behind my leg.

My Glock 21.
A police trade-in, looked brand new and was priced so low I couldn't pass it up.
.45ACP which I like, and the gun shoots well and it's accurate, of course Glocks are very utilitarian.
But it's also frickin' HEAVY.

High Standard R-106 22LR revolver.

Scratched, muzzle wear, someone painted the grips.
Ugly as sin. But for some reason I can't part with it.

My ugly gun was a RAPC in 9mm, but in the midst of the pandemic, my nephew needed something and I didn't want him to get gouged, so I sold it to him. The rest that I have are not ugly

SR1911 officer (I did add hogue grips to make it fit better; makes it less pretty, but not really ugly)
