Firearm Color.

[Stomper]

I dunno, I just like guns. And swords. And metal working tools. And woodworking tools. And heavy equipment stuff. The color does not matter much to me.

You listed all those, "likes" but (suspiciously) left out, "women".

Blued steel :
New...
"Pre-War" S&W and Colt blue...
"Fire Blue"...
Case hardening...
Well worn blue with honest wear....
'Old time" Browning....

With all that said...
It's your pistol...ifin' you like and want Flat Dark Earth as a color...get one in that color.
Firearms ain't fashion accessories.....

Pink with Hello Kitty stickers. Even if I miss the bad guy he will die from embarrassment at having been shot at with such a gun.

Mine is singular, and she distinctly does not like being listed with other hobbies I like to do. She likes being in a category all by herself. Since l like living I will oblige that "request."

blued steel or stainless for me.

 

[CamoDeafie]

If you're not sure you want FDE looks, you could, I don't know.. simply buy spray paint in flat/matte earth tones and spraypaint the basic black or even stainless gun? If you find you like it, then you can take paint off easily and then trade or buy the FDE gun...

 

[bradsteen]

The only gun I have that isn't black or blued is my MSAR STG-E4 - that one is OD green, and was too good of a deal to pass up. Glad I bought it, but definitely prefer black when possible.

On my G22, the carpet doesn't match the drapes..but I'm good with that.

 

[joken]

I used to like a FDE pistol but not so much these days. FDE on an AR still looks great IMO.

 

[RVTECH]

LONG ago fell in love with stainless. At first was not real keen on it. What changed me was how easy it is to deal with "wear and tear".

Ditto this with me exactly!

My first SS gun was Blackhawk and I was still kind of on the fence with it - (IE didn't look 'authentic').

Next was a SS GP 100 that pushed me 'over the edge', and now I have two others.

In all the years I have had them (and shoot often) I see no discernible scratches or any marks on them.

Fde with black accents

There's a reason for that...

 

[monkeybutler]

I have a stainless1911
A 1972 Hi-Power in blue
A 2008 Hi-power mk3 in black epoxy

I have thought of getting the epoxy one stripped and nickel or chrome plated. Because I hate the the way it looks. But that would have no practical value. The finish looks plastic fantastic but is durable as hell.

I am so confused, and aroused, and confused. Am I supposed to want to cuddle with that sexy rifle, or the man who showed me this new and wonderful world. Maybe I need to go read that new novel "50 shades of cerakote pink" for answers. . .

 

[MountainBear]

Patina. Honest wear, not rusted, not pitted, but honest wear. One of the coolest gun I've seen was a Winchester 71 where you could see the handprint of the person who'd carried it hunting for years wrapped around the receiver.

Firstly... did you just assume my gender...

Secondly...

Pro Tip: This is not a, "which gun?" post. It is a, "which gun FIRST?" post.

The ONLY appropriate answer here is, "get both!"

You're welcome.

p.s.

We are nothing here if not enablers.

 

[GHT05]

I would go with Black especially if it is used for CC.
Easier to hide. FDE to Me attracts attention on accidental exposure.
