anything is passé. Too bad. I bought a SW 29 in the 90s and had to explain to my LGS why it had to be blue when stainless in their eyes was clearly better.
Browning has that plastic shine finish on their guns...I’m not crazy about it and if I ever own one I’ll rub it down to a satin finish. Satin blue seems the norm on hunting rifles with wood dtocks these days as well. A mirror polished blue is I suspect entering the realm of custom only guns.
