In the mood to hang a pic tonight. But saw a trend. I guess I like SS. Reminds me of a Gun Digest story years ago titled "Make Mine Stainless". Nice group there.

Stainless is Painless. You put the right wood on them they can be as pretty as blue, to my eye. Nice clutch of guns.

Going to guess that those are after-market Culinas made like that. They sure make some nice grips.

Gunzo: I am kinda with you on the stainless steel preference/trend. IF.... (and thats a big if anymore!) I plan on "using" (shooting carrying!) a Smith & Wesson pistol I would rather invest in the stainless versions. If I am buying for investment purposes only I would lean slightly towards the blued model. I also intently consider/seek out original "nickel plated" Smith & Wesson pistols for "collecting" purposes.They appreciate a tad better than the blued or the stainless models in my experience. Yes it appears to be a "trend" for you, garnering the stainless Smith's! Good for you and enjoy. But I am open to all finishes and enjoy them all. Looking right now at a minty nickel plated Smith & Wesson Model 29-3 6" in the original presentation box, at a price I consider to be very fair. Third day thinking on this one so it has passed THAT "test" for me. Will probably jump on that non-stainless offering soon? Long live Smith & Wesson. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Royal blue & French or Turkish walnut trips my trigger as much as most. But that just doesn't fit me, been there. While I don't go after the latest & greatest on the market in most any venue, I do tend to lean towards proven advances in modern technology. But figuring though, that nobody wants, or needs to see a group pick of Austrian plastic fantastic.
