definitely stainless. They hold up tons better than other finishes. I have 20 year old handguns that look brand new while some of my blued stuff looks 20 years old.

O. D. green parkerized. USGI standard finish.
Nothing is more businesslike, and a 1911 is ALL business. CJ |

I like the "thing" my CDP II is kind of a brushed SS and a black lower.
I just need to swap out the rosewood. |

I like the dull stainless with unpolished rounds.. I also like the Black/Stainless like the Eclipse series have.

Sandblasted and contrasting glass beaded SS, (the color that goes all the way to the bone)followed by the now rare electroless nickel as a very classy finish.

Red Slide/Green Frame? ---> This should never happen to a 1911
I've never seen someone go to so much trouble to try to make a real weapon look like a toy. |

Parkerized OD Green.... I love it cuz that was the first big pistol I ever shot... Dad got it pre GCA68 ... CMP Surplus, $15 shipped to his Post Office... just had to show ID and sign for it. He kicks himself to this day for not getting a surplus 1903 Springfield at that time, but they were expensive... $25!

Voted Black for the lack of a "highly polished blue" option. What can I say, guns are supposed to be blued.... Black phosphating or parkerizing is a good second choice.

I own all of the 3 listed, and I am leaning towards the Stainless on which I like best

I like SS best because it wears better than any others. All my guns are for use and none are safe queens so I like a tough finish. Some of the high tech finishes are nice but I hate blued guns as they rust easy and holsters wear the blueing off fast. Resell value is also much better on a nice looking gun and SS wears least of all.
Many of my friends whose opinion I respect like "black/blued" guns better but I have my own opinion. |

How would you guys compare stainless steel to a good chrome job?

I voted chrome, but it has nothing to do with aesthetics. A good hardchrome job wears better than any other finish, and is more rust-resistant than any other finish.
and I don't go in for that whole "black is easier to conceal" nonsense. ETA: I do prefer the chrome matte or brushed however. |
