As in, what gun is never owned or appreciated by a fudd*/noguns/edgelord/underage/boy_of_soy, etc? What gun takes a true love of firearms and considerable experience with them to appreciate?
*by this I mean a true fudd, as in somebody who is anti-gun except for hunting and shotgun sports, not somebody who just likes wood and steel.
I submit the Walther P5. You have to be pretty into firearms to even know it exists and it is supremely aesthetic. Honorably mention goes to the Baby Browning.

Absolutely not.

I would say the term you're looking for is connoisseur's pistol, but based on the rest of the post I think you mean hipster gun
>TFW you already shot a P7 but will probably never own any guns thanks to retarded laws
Hi-point
Nope. Hipster tier guns are slightly obscure but relatively accessible and, in fact, popular. A lot of CZ's and cheap milsurps fall into this category.
Using the /mu/ definition of a pleb filter, the gun must be
>off-putting in some way to people with mundane tastes
>truly excellent but can only be appreciated by those with a refined palette.
The Ruger No. 1 falls into this category, IMO. It's single shot and not that accurate for the price, but those who know appreciate it for its extreme action strength, allowing it to be used for hand-loading load development.
>What gun takes a true love of firearms and considerable experience with them to appreciate?
Flintlocks in general and longrifles in particular. Most people don't have the patience to make an entire range trip out of them or learn the most accurate load combination out of their rifle. There are so many different "schools" of longrifles to learn about and appreciate from rather plain southern mountain schools and schimmel guns to the more extravagant pennsylvania rifles.

Nah
Most precision rifles and precision rifle shooting in general is a pleb filter. It takes a lot of time, quality practice, investment, and knowledge to develop good precision shooting skills, and the shooting you do end up doing is often repetitive, boring, and tedious. At the same time, it can be incredibly satisfying, and the skill ceiling is very high.
The problem there is that CZs still aren't hipster guns and never have been, never will be
which CoD is the Mk 23 in?
When you get to the point where it's more like competitive loading than competitive shooting it's pretty pleb filtered. Normies always want le suber ebic snippor rifle but get glassy eyed the moment you start talking about bullet weights and burn rates.
The hipster says, because if hipsters admit something is hipster, owning it isn't cool anymore.
I work at a gun store and there are two kinds of CZ pistol buyers:
>IDPA/IPSC shooters buying the Czechmate/Tactical Sport series guns for competition use
>Hipsters buying the $500-$700 models for defense and carry.
I don't mean CZoy-boys as in the meme Jow Forums is trying to force, plenty of them are good right wing dudes, but they're hipsters all the same. They dress like them, have artistic tattoos, and drive hipster cars. The most recent guy I sold a CZ-75B to rolled up in a turbo-charged Karmann-Ghia, lifted, with a roof rack sporting a shovel and pick-axe, all painted in French national rally team colors. He runs a fucking artisanal cigar shop up the road. Total hipster.
Just get a SIG
Wrong Sig. It would have to be a P-210.
I'll nominate the Remington-Keene rifle

Whaaa...?
That is neato. I learn something every day.

Mk 23 can’t actually fall into that category, considering its price is too high for any underage/edgelord/normie

Easy answer but not a specific gun so maybe OT.
Anyone you see at the range doing accurate rapid fire DA with a revolver. To get to the point you can do this takes a lot of work that not many commit to. Bonus points for the pro doing it with a snubbie.

In my collection I would submit the AMT Automag III.

It's for all purposes a meme gun, but the features make it fun to plink with and start conversations. As soon as I saw it shot .30 Carbine I knew it was going home with me.
it's like a long, deagle 1911.
nice.
>Anime gun

Choose
I would say that the automag in .44 AMP, having reloading equipment and knowledge to even fire the damn thing since even the brass is a bitch to find. probably one step above would be a gyrojet because you cant even reload that shit and the ammo goes for around $100 a round
more smith 39 then 1911, linkless browning design.

The early S&W semi-autos (39/569/5906, etc)
In a time of modern guns which weigh less and hold more, they don't make a ton of sense. They're not very common, although not exactly rare like a Luger. Unless you were of shooting age when they were more popular you wouldn't be likely to be familiar with them, fudds wouldn't like it cause hurr durr. Yet I've heard they're very nice guns to shoot (never held, or even seen one in real life, and I'm 30)
I say this as a dude whose wardrobe is 90% flannel, listens to Neutral Milk Hotel and drives an early 90's Volvo station wagon: hipsters love CZ. Which is fine, that doesn't mean CZ is *only* for hipsters, they're top tier guns fit for practical use and have been for a very long time. But the CZ 75 is a hipster darling- it's hammer fired unlike that modern generic striker garbage, isn't a too-mainstream Beretta 92 (the starting handgun in every kill 'em up game ever made), is aesthetic as all hell, and comes from a country with a fun name that nobody in the US knows anything at all about.
And beyond that, they make or have made a solid alternative in basically every niche for the person who doesn't want the thing everyone else has. Want a Glock that isn't a Glock? CZ. Want a SCAR that isn't a SCAR? CZ. Want a Makarov that isn't a Makarov? CZ. Their quality is high enough that it can definitely be argued those guns are better than whatever they're an alternative to, but that's not really why a lot of people buy them.
I think a fren of mine's dad has one.
Agreed. Pre-M&P/SMEGMA Smith and Wesson semi-autos are a true patrician's choice.

They have to be handled to be appreciated. They are on par with a Korth IMO.
>on par with a Korth
If that's the standard, than the Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum is the real deal.
The OP states "owned or appreciated." Weebs may never own the Memeteba but they certainly appreciate it, therefore
d r o p p e d.
I'd argue that classic DX revolvers outclasss the registered magnums
It's not really a competition since the Model 52 and the RM were built by, in most cases, literally the same people or in the cases of later Model 52's, guys who apprenticed under them.
Colt woodsman, as there are better 22 handguns that are cheaper, the woodsman is less often desired.

The only thing that it checks on the list is Fudd, just because "IT WAS MAH DADDY'S DURR RIFLE" and that's all I can think of. Otherwise they wouldn't so much as touch it due to the ammo price alone.

These were popular in the 90s before Glocks and SIG Sauer got AR-during-Obama popular.
In Pulp Fiction, Marcellus Wallace pulls one out in the big fight/gay rape scene with Bruce Willis.
In Bad Boys (1995 Martin) Lawrence carried a 4506 as his primary weapon with a 6906 as his spare rod.

"Registered Magnum" is the old name for a Model 27. The reason why a true Registered Magnum would be so expensive is because it's a collectible first-edition pistol.

stop being relatable
659 was hell of a thing too.
I would like to buy one, but even with my licence, since I live in a European country, they are nearly impossible to find here (and the import cost the double of the gun), really sad.
I like mine
Fair enough, there have been 1000's of handguns and I'm not familiar with all of them.
>I'd argue that classic DX revolvers outclasss the registered magnums
As a owner of a S&W MOD 629-4 Classic DX 8 3/8 I'm going to have agree. Custom hand finished can bring good things but every gun has it's own natural personality (thus handloads to fit your gat). All guns leaving S&W were test fired at the factory and the ones that well exceeded accuracy standards were given the DX (delux) markings. DX has a natual accuracy personality.
>Garand thumb us a real porblem, trus me my grandaddy sayed so
Senpai, are you implying the Meatball was ever chambered in .45-70?
>"Registered Magnum" is the old name for a Model 27
That's kind of reductive. The Registered Magnums were the very first .357 Magnum revolvers and each one was custom built to order by the very best people working at 1930's Smith & Wesson. They're still considered to be the best-made handguns that ever came out of the company and that easily puts them in the running for the finest revolvers ever made. The Model 27 was the mass production version of the same basic design.

Buddy's dad was a Vietnam vet/deputy sheriff. He had a matched pair of these that we took to the range once. I kind of chuckled and thought they were quaint at the time, then he let me shoot 'em. Memorably nice.

How can it be a pleb filter if literally no one has even handled one?
Plus, it was like the first gun you could find in MGS4, definitely a vidyagame babby gun.
It was also a piece of shit with an extremely dangerous manual of arms.
But you'd have to look past if for the craftsmanship and creativity when before the smallest back up gun you could get was a j frame or some shit tier mouse gun.
This is a full caliber gun with mouse gun proportions.
Recently found out about it when someone was selling one on armslist near me. Was like 4.5k I think Ian had a video about it when I looked it up. But I'm not a fan his videos seem pretty boring.
Right, I don't disagree, I was just trying to cover all of OPs requirements. Most people who'd walk into a gun store today wouldn't be familiar with them, and of the few who are, not many would choose it over modern options, just based on practicality for price
Except a 4+1 manual action .45 ACP is quite obviously worse than a double action .38 Special J-frame or an actually semi-automatic .25 ACP pocket pistol, which is why it never went anywhere. "Pocket gun in muh fuddy five" is just a novelty.
K31. A solid mauser without the neonazi fanboy edgelord shit of the k98.
If not for the edge I would also throw in the luger.
