Pick the Most Gaudy of Today's Handgun Pickups

[Darth]

2 new guns and a new set of grips today.

Which is he most awful?

The Iver Johnson Eagle XL 10mm, codename "The Cure."



Complete with Chineeseium grip screw that went right in the trash, made of THE finest Velveeta this side of the Rockies.


... that was a hex screw. Pain in the ass that was .


The S.T.A.R.S. grips on the 92Fs.





Or the $100 bill coated Ghetto Blaster Hi Point.


To recap:



Bone apple teeth.

 

[Beerman]

They all need to be shot to put them out of their misery.

So I'd never touched a Hi-point pistol before, but that hunk of sh...stuff is so gaudy I needed to have it. First time hands on...it's actually really plesant. The grip is molded to my hand nearly perfectly, and the texture provides nice grip.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Honestly......








......I was expecting worse.

My dad's Hi-point .45 shot very well. He also had the Hi-point carbine.

Unfortunately after he passed I could not bring them to NY with me so mom sold them back to the Gun Shop he bought them from. She needed the money more than I needed another pew pew toy.

And, at the time, FUAC and your un-Constitutional bullshit!
Now... FUKH just on general principle.

 

[togmaster]

That Hi-point is in a class of it's own.

 

[4WHLDRFTN]

Were you garbage picking

 

[S&W Fan]

And the winner of the Fugly goes to ……. Hi point !

Need to pair it with a yeet cannon...

Actually, need to make a wall mounted display cabinet for them in the living room.

 

[dsdmmat]

What no Yeet Cannon?

 

[kev74]

I like 'em!

 

[cgrutt]

Hi point no doubt. But you need some grillz...

 

[HEX]

There is a correct answer here I think, and it's not the hi-point.

Why ? Well, because the hi-point was made as a joke; it's a novelty 'self-own' made with intent and understanding of irony by the company. It is therefore perhaps in fact the least lame of the three.

The Racoon City grips.. I feel like they get nearly a complete pass. Also falling into the intentional novelty catagory, but of a different sort. It's a vid'ja games reference on what appear to be actually not so terribly made grips (though not that amzingly either). A little dorky perhaps, but fine.

Now.. those grips on the IJ , they are the clear winner of most awful. Someone wasn't going for irony there in that design; rather, it was surely some cheap crap chinese company going for the lowest form of 'eBay Badass' gun owners in the lamest possible way. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're actually made out of something toxic, but they already make me want to puke either way.

And that IJ is just going to get worse.

I'm thinking gold hardware and maybe engraving.

Actual gold leaf isn't that expensive. That shit will probably turn green.

 

[Acer-m14]

make your own gold leaf ..

all you need is a hammer and time .

I'm partial to the Chinese cadmium infused grips on the 1911. The nonfunctional compensator is a nice touch as well.

It compensates for something.
