Choosing magazines for 1911

[bigdogpete]

Going to buy some Chip McCormick magazines for my 1911. Is there a big advantage getting stainless over blued metal? I will be shooting the 1911 under 500 rounds a year.

If rust is a concern, stainless would be less prone to rusting.

However, McCormick's top mag is the PowerMag. I think all of the PowerMags are stainless. The black ones say "blackened stainless", though I don't know why an extra finish would cost less than the plain stainless model.

The stainless also are slightly slicker. They might, might drop free a little faster.
