I want this pistol:

To replace this pistol:

So I'd like to get some criticism. Is the former better than the latter? What can I do to improve the former?

the first one looks a bit blockish and a tad front heavy.

the first is certainly better but I'm not too fond of how far back the slide goes in comparison to the grip. I thought that it was just slid back for show at first. I'd refine the sights as well since they apear to be just two peices stuck on the top of the gun. Lastly those horizontal stips just after the trigger towards the barrel just seem out of place. I'd make the front ends of them slide under the front of the slide or something.

Something like this?

Edit:

I'll improve the sights later.

I think it looks pretty good... but the Triggerguard... looks to... I don't know... not right.

Try and make the Trigger guard more... in flow with the firearm?

Mr_JeburtO

make the back slide a little smaller and the trigger guard needs a little work. apart from that i think you've got a winner there <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

"Needs a little work." Winning criticism right there.

Anyways, I like the look of the thing. I really don't see anything wrong with it. All the problems previously described seem to be just design opinions. What's the polycount?

Rapier7

Poly count is 1098 without optimizations.

I'm still not happy with this pistol, I need a better renderer...

*goes back to the drawing board*
