I recently picked up a 4" Blued (almost black) version with Hogue grips from the factory.
I love the gun, and it handles well. I much more accurate single rather than double action, but as long as I'm in the black at 25 yards with an 8" target, I'm happy.
My only complaint is that I've already put 500 rounds through it, and there are some drag marks visible, that I don't think would be there if it were stainless.
This is my home defense gun. Much easier to just point and shoot in times of high stress.
