    Default The color concern........ not all guns are stainless or blued anymore

    So what do you fine folks think about the color options of guns available today?

    The first gun not blued or stainless I purchased was a Sig Mosquito w/ Purple metallic frame
    for my daughter - her favorite color - she loves it and believe it or not it has performed
    absolutely flawless for 1500+ rounds

    Next was a 1911 in FDE for my son (both kids....... are adults now)

    Kahr (and MANY others) have a few current offerings outside the standard black or stainless
    Purple, Robin Eggshell Blue, and Burnt Bronze

    so - what's too much (yes there is too much)- or just enough

    No, never! Traditional is fine with me when it comes to most things.

    I'm a Ford man. You can have any color you want as long as it's black.
    Never trust anyone who doesn't trust you to own a gun.

    I think they look pretty nice. Depending of course of the taste of the owner. Click HERE for lots of examples.

    The process is great for restoration also. Here are a couple BEFORE and AFTER pics. (sorry, I'm still not authorized to post attachments)

    Or in Jeepsters case - as long as it's green.

    I've bought my wife a Charter Arms Santa Fe Blue .38 and a purple Ruger SR22. I put OD green furniture on my AR and am looking at a Sig in FDE. Three years ago I wouldn't have even thought twice about it.
