I vote parkerized. It is more corrosion resistant and looks "meaner" IMO.

IMHO park is much more durable, especially if you wipe it down with oil on a regular basis (the park has pores that hold the oil, protecting the gun).
I have not yet heard of a "wonder finish" that would convince me it's better than park. I think there's some discussion about a new coating over on Pistolsmith.com that is almost indestructable, but I haven't kept up on the threads. I think it's Body Coat (?). Until something better than the current polymer finishes comes along, it's park for my guns. |

Parkerized, unless you want your pistol too look real purty

I have a parkerized springfield .45.I carry it all the time in my wastband.I keep it clean & oiled.Its 1 year old &is shiny on all the edges.I dont care what it looks like.It is the most accerat 45 I have ever shot and would not trade for any other pistol.I not sure blued would hold up better but it might.
