Since I started this day of banter pontificating about handguns, I might as well finish the day doing the same.This is arguably the most beautiful gun I own, all things considered. It's a SIG Sauer P220 Equinox, in .45 ACP. I say "arguably" because wheelgun enthusiasts scoff at the "ugliness" of semiauto pistols, like 1911 enthusiasts scoff at Glocks, and Glock enthusiasts scoff at Smith & Wessons, and so on. It's all subjective.But this sidearm represents the intersection of German engineering and aesthetics with American sentiment. It is the firearms equivalent of putting a small-block V8 engine into a Porsche. It's the Joan Crawford of guns - an elegant and refined exterior that becomes a complete whore if you get her in the backseat. The hooker with the heart of gold.
