The difference is in the metal prep, not the bluing itself. Ruger has always cut costs on polishing to save the customer money.But on the other hand, it looks more like paint compared to S&W's blued guns.
I'd definitely be interested in that.I heard they are bringing back the 9mm offering as well
I never can decide how I feel about Ruger's bluing.
One one hand, it looks utilitarian which I like for a carry gun. But on the other hand, it looks more like paint compared to S&W's blued guns.
Yeah, and that's why I haven't typically gone for Ruger blued guns. A lot of them look like a chalk board to me. Not all, I've seen some gorgeous blued Rugers over the years, but an awful lot of them just don't do it for me.I never thought I'd see a blued SP. Pretty cool!
FYI, the TALO model is cerakoted stainless.
