Buy once, cry once.
Many good suggestions here. No matter what finish or brand if carried and shot enough will show wear, I consider blue wear ( won’t own a stainless) a sign of life well lived and every time I see talk of refinishing I get a bit of nausea.
I have lots of pistols with blued finish worn to bare metal without ever having rust issues.
Regarding les Baer I have owned several and before I moved was the most popular semi custom where I used to live. Tight but very reliable and accurate in all those I saw.
My keeper arrives hopefully at the end of the week- a military pistol from the CMP
For a routine shooter and carry gun, I am interested in the nighthawk retro colt.
Bought my "keeper" last year. Springfield Professional with light rail in 45. Damn I love that gun.
Sell the 80, add that to your 2k+ and get something new from the Arkansas three.
I wouldn’t get blue I’d get a maintenance free finish in Carbon steel with a steel frame.
Sounds like you’re gonna keep it so take your time in the decision process. As your knowledge level grows so will your taste.
