Next Theme: Stealth Black or Titanium?

Now that I am close to acheiving Consummate Carbonfibrousity (tm), what should I go for next, Tactical Stealth Black or Titanium?
Eyewear will be Oakleys (I saw some in Ti that belonged to a friend, pretty cool), a Zippo (either in Ti or just black), either a black Stealth or Ti Luminox. The black gun and knife will be easy (already have them), but finding the right ones in Ti will be hard.
So, Ti or black?

I wish they would have Stealth Dark Gray. Even in shadows, black shows up since it is too dark.

Is BOTH within the relm of possibility? Well, if not, I'd go w/ the Ti-thing first, the go black sometime down the road!

There are lots of Ti knives to choose from, that's not a problem, affording them, that's the problem!
Mission's fixed blades will set you back the price of a gun and there are other makers out there who charge more. But as to pistols, well, there are less choices there and way more $$$:eek:
Caspian makes one I think, of course, you'll need the Damascus slide on that Ti frame! Then there are the Tauri "Total Titanium" wheelguns:rolleyes:
I think I'd stick with the "tactical black" look. Besides, that way you'll blend in with the Mall Ninjas, tactical camo y'know?:p

Stealth Black! Because Titanium isn't stealth and stealth is, well, tactical!

You know what they say: "Once you go stealth black..."
:rolleyes: Man, I can't believe I wasted my 500th post on something that lame.

Wow, you've tapped the carbon fiber market already?? So how does that Ferrari Enzo handle? :)
Seriously though, I can see you in a CF car, if not a Trek OCLV carbon fiber bike or equivalent.
But otherwise Skunk, go with black. I'd wager half your gear is already black so you'd be that much further down the road to Ultimate Tacticality.
I wish they would have Stealth Dark Gray. Even in shadows, black shows up since it is too dark.
Hmm, what about Colt gray? I had a SIG P226 refinished in Metacol III using that flavor ... it's pretty stealthy. :)
You can also find dark gray BDUs at Gall's which are darker than the Propper gray BDUs.

I would prefer Titanium over black. Black is boring.

I must be so outdated and untactical.:(
My guns are all blue or stainless. Lots of them have wood grips/stocks. One poor lowly Springfield Champion is doomed to wear Ivory grips.
All my leather is brown. A natural shade caused by lots of oil and sunlight.
My knives have wood or stag handles, I have a couple of S&W folders in stainless with black rubber inserts....thats about the extent of my tacticalness.
My only black rifles are my 1 AR and a cheap Savage .300 WinMag that I bought from a friend that was hurting for money.
Even my poor scatterguns suffer from untacticalness. They all have poor wood stocks and blued barrels. No pistol grips, dedicated light mounts, or heat shields, not even a ghost ring sight to be found.
Maybe I should sell them all, and start buying Titanium, blackness, Carbon Fiber, Poly frames, and ninja suits.
Then again, maybe not....

So, what did you finally decide ? ;)

I'll decide when I get to test my Blade-Tech UCH for my P7 that I ordered today. If I can tuck the black P7 away, then it won't fit in the theme. If I can't tuck the P7 away, I'll get a Ti Beretta .32 for pocket carry and as my 'formal' gear, like suit and tie, Ti Oakleys, Ti knife, Ti watch, etc.
Now a carbon fiber or titanium P7 would be perrrrrfect... ;)
You know. Themes :)
