I'm with you Baldy, that blue on old Colt revolvers was thing of beauty! S&W also used to do a much better blue than they do now.

One of the most beautiful finishes I've seen in a long time was on a Beretta Gold Rush rifle (their version of the old Colt Lightning) WOW, what a nice gun!

Bolt Rifles = Blue and Wood, AR-15 = Rattle Can, Pistols = Black and Brushed Slide, I just really like that 2 tone look.

I have no idea what the finish is on a Smith 10-5 I bought several years ago, but it's a black coating just slightly wetter-looking than a true matte--kind of a semi-gloss minus. The gun was great mechanically and I thought it would be good for knocking around in the woods. Now I can no longer walk the woods due to health problems, but that finish certainly seems durable.

I love 7.62's Duracoat finish... too pricey for me right now, but amazing patterns.

Obviously not tactical... but fun and unique nonetheless. Too bad it costs as much as the gun, lol.

That's kind of like buying a camo knife--if you set it down, you can't find the damn thing again! :mrgreen:

I just love the glow: It makes the camouflage so much easier to see in the dark.

Oh...Wait a minute...
