    Which HW45 is most 'beautiful'?

    Thats it really, I keep trying to justify the expense of buying one and I can't decide which I like the best!!

    At the moment I'm thinking black star...... saves the problem of making/buying grips

    Sorry, I own an HW45 and like the way it shoots, and admire the build quality, but they'll all always be ugly pistols as far as I'm concerned.

    Agreed, shoots a treat but its no looker.

    In fact I put a paper bag on mine when I shoot it.

    LOL, why do you think 'beautiful' was in inverted commas?
    I think the large grips on the 'star' versions really balance them out. The original has the look of a handle on a breeze-block.

    The Black Star is probably the least aesthetically offensive IMHO. I love my 45 but it is not by any stretch beautiful. But then I don't think the 1911A1 on which it is (sort of) modelled is beautiful, or in fact almost any automatic pistol, especially any modern one.

    It's tied: 3, 3, and 3.

    Since the Poll's about looks, I voted for the Silver Star. Though I tend to shoot pistols better that have combat rather than target style grips.

    Don't you find that this makes the sights a lot less visible as well?
