Question (sorry if it's been discussed, I just havent' found it yet, plus I'm googling the same too)

 

For a shooter, would you prefer blued or ss and why ?

Is either more $ than the other in general ?

Same deal with a collector.

I seem to prefer both - that's my dilemma 🙂

I like to shoot stainless, they are easy to clean and you can fix scratches very easily.  I like both blue and stainless from a collection standpoint.  Both are accurate, both are fun to shoot.  Stainless is just easier to clean. 

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.

I'm going to be different and say I like to shoot stainless, they are easy to clean and you can fix scratches very easily.  I like both blue and stainless from a collection standpoint.

 If you're going to drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:

if you find one...what's your plan?

Ditto on all the above replies. Stainless for everyday use and Blue for beauty.

I have mostly blued across everything I own and like them much more than stainless, but if it's a gun I truly use or carry I prefer stainless for the reasons already mentioned above. I know several people that hate stainless with a passion though, go figure??

S.S. will always be more sinister! Should I write this or anti-gun liberals will jump on this. I Imagine we don't have any in-here!
