If you get a shiny gun, just be sure the sights suit you. For instance, S&W stainless guns generally have blackened sights, and the sights are easy to see. If you are buying a Ruger stainless Vaquero, the fixed, stainless sights may be very difficult to see in comparison with a blued model. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about tactical. Concealed carry guns are rarely seen, and unless one is all camo'd up and sneaking in the grass, avoiding detection (i.e. snipers), tactical colored guns are overrated. Many duty cops carry stainless or nickel plated guns, and always have.
