If you've been around long enough you'll recognize the subject line's play-on-words.

You'll also probably remember that during the 1980's, stainless steel was all-the-rage among handgun enthusiasts. Before most shooters had ever envisioned polymer frames and high-tech coatings, stainless was then considered the ultimate in handgun refinement. Popular immortalizations include Don Johnson as Sonny Crockett with the S&W 4506 in Miami Vice.

Nowadays regarded by some to be too gaudy and pimped-out, I still admire the appearance of most stainless handguns as having a simple elegance. It continues to have a market place among semi-autos (mostly 1911's), and moreover has essentially taken over the revolver market.

As before, post -em if ye gottem.

I prefer a nice blue-ing aesthetically vesus stainless but just about ever single handgun I own is stainless with exception to my Glocks. Reason being is my sweat is high corrosive and stainless is much easier to take care of, especially in every day carry.

This pistol's owner wanted an all matte finish. It was blasted with medium grit glass beads while the revolver was refinished with extra fine glass beads.
