The funny thing is I didn't really care for stainless steel guns before. I thought they looked gaudy and were too flashy. I was also concerned that they were a lot more likely to be noticed if they weren't well concealed. The only stainless gun I had for a very long time was my 6 inch Ruger GP100. I also had a Sig P229 with a blackened stainless slide, but I'm not sure that counts. The same goes for my Kahr PM9 with a blackened stainless slide.
A few years back, I picked up a Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special that was hard chromed. This is a thing of beauty. I have since added a Springfield Armory Loaded in 9mm, a Les Baer Concept V, and a Ruger Mark 3 Hunter. I think these shiny objects are growing on me! I'll get some pics up when I get a chance.
